Supporting Gibson at the event were his “Fast & Furious” co-stars, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, who both opted for footwear that reflected their signature styles. Diesel, known for his tough-guy persona, wore black combat boots that perfectly matched his rugged outfit. His ensemble featured a black bomber jacket over a black tee, paired with gray jeans, creating a look that was both functional and stylish. The combat boots, with their thick sole and sturdy design, added an extra layer of grit to his appearance. He topped off the look with black shades.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, embraced her edgy aesthetic with a sleek all-black look. She paired fitted leather leggings with a black top and a leather jacket, finishing the ensemble with knee-high black boots. The boots, with their sharp lines and subtle shine, added an air of toughness and sophistication, perfectly complementing her laid-back image.

Their footwear not only reflected their individual personalities but also demonstrated their commitment to making a statement on the red carpet.

The trio has been starring in the “Fast & Furious” films together since the first one dropped in 2001. There have since been 12 films in total, and the franchise has become one of the most successful of all time. As of August 2024, the franchise has grossed more than $7 billion globally, making it Universal’s biggest franchise and the seventh highest-grossing film series ever.
