Ryan Gosling plays a motorcycle rider-turned-bank robber in his latest big screen role, while Eva Mendes plays his love interest and mother of his child.
But the high-wattage Hollywood stars - who are also dating off-screen - stepped away from their gritty movie characters and into their most glamorous threads for tonight's red carpet premiere of The Place Beyond the Pines.
Mendes in particular turned heads in a black-and-white lace gown with an intricate floral design which clung to her famous curves.
The stunning 39-year-old actress paired the Dolce & Gabbana dress with a black silk headband, white earrings and black stiletto heels.
Gosling, 31, looked particularly dashing in a double breasted Gucci suit and button down collared shirt.
The glamorous pair met on the set of The Pines in November last year, and have been dating ever since, albeit with recent rumours of a break-up earlier this year.
