Then and now: Ryan Gosling and his mom walking the red carpet

Ryan Gosling showed up with his mother, Donna Gosling, as his date for the red carpet premiere of George Clooney’s The Ides of March last night, which (naturally) endeared us to him even more—but also required a double take. Mama Gosling certainly brought a touch of glam to the proceedings with her sexy silver colour scheme, although we couldn’t help but notice that she looks almost like a completely new person from the last time we spied her on the scene. And you have to hand it to her—she looks absolutely fabulous.
