This Barbie is supporting her Ken.
Eva Mendes showed off a fun new T-shirt ahead of the “Barbie” movie’s release this July, posting a series of Instagram snaps of herself wearing a shirt featuring her longtime love, Ryan Gosling, in his role as Ken.
The “Hitch” actress, 49, sits on the ground in front of a fence while wearing a $23 shirt from Redbubble designer Ironpalette that includes a photo of Gosling, 42, flashing his abs under an open denim vest.
She put a twist on Latto’s hit song “Big Energy” in her caption, writing, “Got that real big Kenergy. Coz girls is players too.”
Mendes paired the tee — which reads “Barbie 2023” above “Ryan Gosling as Ken” — with cuffed jeans and wore her red hair swept to the side, sporting winged eyeliner and mauve eyeshadow.
She’s not the only one to get in on the “Barbie” T-shirt bandwagon; Gosling wore his own version paying tribute to director Greta Gerwig at Cinemacon with co-star Margot Robbie, who stars as the titular doll, last month.
The Skura Style sponge entrepreneur also donned several gold rings, including a simple band on her ring finger — hinting once again that she may have married her “Place Beyond the Pines” co-star, with whom she shares two children.
While Mendes and Gosling — who have been together for more than a decade — have never actually confirmed that they’re married, the mom of two referred to him as her husband during an interview with “Today Australia” last November.
“Everybody is amazing, everybody is welcoming us, it’s been so beautiful,” Mendes said of her time in the country, adding, “My husband Ryan is here … and our children are here, we’re having the best time.”
She also debuted a tattoo tribute to Gosling the same month, showing off a design on her inner wrist that spells out “de gosling.”
In Hispanic culture, it’s common for married women to add “de” or “of” before their husband’s last name to separate it from their own surname.
Whether or not they’re married, this isn’t the first time Mendes has given a shout-out to her partner’s role as Ken (or his shirtless pic).
Last year, she discussed his Ken doll look on “The Talk,” saying, “Well first of all, I saw the photo and the 14-year-old in me was like, ‘Ahhh.'”
“It’s a funny photo and he’s trying to be funny,” she added. “So, it worked on all levels.”
It sounds like she loved the snapshot so much, she had to memorialize it on a shirt.
