I love the John Wick movies. The latest movie in the franchise comes out this Friday, June 6. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina stars Ana de Armas as ballerina assassin Eve Macarro (originally portrayed by Unity Phelan in the 3rd movie). It follows her through her training with The Director, played by Angelica Huston. It’s a spin-off that takes place in between the third and fourth JW movies. Keanu Reeves is still in it! It’s also *sob* Lance Reddick’s final film appearance.
At the LA Ballerina premiere Keanu walked the red carpet with his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant. They held hands and looking amazing. Keanu wore a well-fitting dark-gray suit. Alexandra wore a gorgeous red dress with a plunging neckline and accessorized with a gold clutch and sparkly silver heels. The ruffle on the neckline is really fun, too.
They also sparked engagement rumors because Alexandra is wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger. (You can’t really see it in these pics.) Whether it was an engagement ring or not, it was also a gorgeous accessory.
Ana de Armas was wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown. I didn’t like it at first, but the purple color grew on me. It’s very mid-90s Gwyneth-coded.
Catalina Sandino Moreno was in Paolo Sebastian. I think it’s very pretty on her, but it kind of reminds me of the ‘Snow Queen Goes to Hollywood.’ The beaded detailing on the top is so pretty.
Gabriel Byrne was also there wearing a suit in a really nice shade of blue. I have no problem with the classic gray or black suit, but I really love when men go for a non-traditional color.

Here’s the trailer. It’s getting really good reviews, too, so I’m probably going to go see it this weekend:

For some reason I thought they were already married. Either way, congratulations if there was an engagement, she looks lovely in that red dress!!
Keanu and Alexandra look so wonderful together. As though they are deeply on the same path while being two individual people who choose each other every day. It’s just happy. Solidly happy. I wish them only good things.
@Friendly Crow: Beautifully said! I agree. ❤️
This is a little random but I’ve seen a couple of celebrity interviews for Keanu co-stars and they often mention hanging out with Alexandra and how cool she is. She seems to be a fun, interesting woman that fits into the artistic community of LA.
This!
I lso thought they were already married.
In midst of crazy world, Keanu brings us a little ray of happiness with his choices. Delightful couple!
It looks like so many Black folks in the trailer, but none on the red carpet. At least none that I see in the pictures of the red carpet featured.
I don’t know how many black folks are in the full cast, but Lance Reddick, who I love, is in the film and I think it was his last film before he sadly passed. Keanu wrote a loving tribute to him. He was a pretty big character in the John Wick universe so I could see him being heavily in the trailer but obviously not on the red carpet.
My 84 year old mother is a massive John Wick fan. I’ll call her of an afternoon and she hurriedly says “I can’t talk – my Keanu Reeves is on TV blowing things up. I’ll call you later!” and hangs up. And that always makes me smile. Keanu Reeves is one of those people you just root for.
@MTL.EX.PAT, “My Keanu Reeves is on TV blowing things up!” Now that’s a real Keanu stan right there. ☺️☺️
@daisy – right?! It’s very endearing & gives me a chuckle every time there’s a John Wick marathon on cable…
Ooooh, more posts about Gabriel Byrne! He looks smashing here and is an all-around lovely human.
His memoir is very well-written and thoughtful.
Alexandra’s tattoo says LOVE ❤️
Apologies if this is common knowledge. I felt very clever figuring it out!
Thanks! I was wondering…
They look so happy. It’s lovely.
There were pap shots of them having lunch in London. Close up of her hand revealed a sizeabke diamond she had twisted to face her palm Invasive AF, but confirmed it for me.
I really hope they are getting married! More happiness in the world. I do root for Keanu, he’s so endearing.
I think Alexandra’s tattoo reads GrantLove which is the name of a charity she runs/ran (not sure which) bringing art to underserved communities.
The large tatoo on the inside of Grant’s forearm reads love or evol depending on how you look at it.
Grant publicly claimed her business as a charity a few years ago. Unfortunately for her, Grant hadn’t filed the appropriate documents with the state and was called out by the CA Attorney General. It’s been cleaned up since, including her references to her non-profit. Her business is a for-profit entity from which she donates funds occasionally.
