The high-wattage event, hosted by Mercedes-Benz, served as the official launch platform for the brand's new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé — but the car arguably had to share the spotlight.

Pitt cut a sharp figure in a taupe, well-tailored suit layered over a pale grey button-down — collar open, no tie. A pair of silver-framed, boxy aviator glasses sat across his nose, lending him a measured, editorial cool that had fans split between admiration and confusion.

His hair, slightly tousled and notably warm in tone, completed what some observers would call a subtle yet dramatic transformation.

Beside him, de Ramon, turned heads in an all-red ensemble that commanded the room. She wore a form-fitting, strapless bright red midi dress with structured ruching from bust to hem, its bandeau silhouette sitting above a sweetheart neckline.

The look was finished with strappy crimson high-heeled sandals — lace-up style with thin multi-strap detailing — and her long dark hair in loose waves cascading past her shoulders.

Photos from the evening circulated widely, and the public reaction was, to put it mildly, animated. Many fans marvelled at how different Pitt looked from recent memory, and the comments became a lively debate.

"Did Brad do something to his face? He no longer looks like Brad Pitt," one viewer remarked, puzzled. "Brad is looking younger?? Is it just hair dye or something else?" another wondered aloud.

"It's the new teeth the new face the glasses definitely Robert Redford vibe happening hopefully it's just these pics🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ [sic]," a third commenter observed.

"That doesn't even look like him. [Expletive] is happening in Hollywood," another exclaimed, bewildered. "It doesn't look like Brad anymore," a fan lamented flatly.

But not everyone was troubled. Some were simply smitten. "He looks fabulous💖😍," one admirer gushed. "Still the most beautiful man....." another swooned.

Then came the comparisons that are by now practically a fixture of any de Ramon appearance.

"He definitely has a Type. She's got characteristics of Angelina Jolie," one viewer noted pointedly. "Gosh she looks like Angelina!!" another chimed in.

Who is Ines de Ramon?

For those less familiar with de Ramon, she is a Los Angeles-based jewellery executive with a career built long before any headlines attached her name to Pitt's. Born into a European milieu, she studied at the University of Geneva, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration from the Haute École de Commerce between 2010 and 2013.

She later added a GIA Colored Stones Essentials certification from the Gemological Institute of America, and a qualification as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.

Her professional résumé is equally impressive. De Ramon spent a year in the Jewellery Department at Christie's in Geneva before transitioning to de Grisogono, the Swiss luxury jewellery house, where she worked in the New York retail operation for over four years.

Since January 2020, she has served as Vice President at Anita Ko Jewelry in Los Angeles — a role she holds to this day. In other words, she knows her gems.

A Relationship Built on Firm Ground

Pitt and de Ramon were first photographed together in November 2022, setting off a chain of speculation. In the months that followed they celebrated New Year's, Valentine's Day, and each other's birthdays together, and in September 2023 they made their official red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival.

By early 2024, multiple sources confirmed they had moved in together at Pitt's Los Angeles home.

In late 2024, after an eight-year legal battle, Pitt and ex-wife Angelina Jolie finalized their divorce.

Those close to the actor describe a man who has since found genuine contentment — one who has embraced therapy, sobriety, and a quieter rhythm of life, spending downtime sculpting, listening to music, and keeping what sources call "a tight circle" of long-term friends. "Brad's in a good place," one insider told Us Weekly.

As for the future with de Ramon, sources suggest Pitt remains cautious about remarrying after the drawn-out fallout from his previous marriage. But his commitment to her, they stress, is not in question. "She is very understanding, and they are on the same page," one source told Us Weekly. "For now, they value companionship and a relationship without pressure."

Pitt also has plenty keeping him busy professionally. His Formula 1 drama "F1," in which he starred alongside Damson Idris, proved a major box office success when it released in 2025.

He is additionally working on "The Riders," a psychological thriller adapted from Tim Winton's 1994 novel, partly on the Greek island of Hydra, directed by Edward Berger of "Conclave" fame.

Through it all, de Ramon has been a constant, glamorous presence — at grand prix events, film premieres, and now a glittering car launch on a Los Angeles bridge. Monday night, red dress, hand in hand: for these two, that seems to be the formula.
