Paris Brosnan made a stylish appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," arriving alongside his girlfriend, Alex Lee-Aillón. Their coordinated red-carpet outing quickly became one of the event's standout celebrity moments.
The couple posed together at the Dolby Theatre before the screening, balancing relaxed and polished styles.
Paris wore a gray button-down shirt with jeans and sneakers, while Alex opted for a sleeveless black mini dress with a high neckline and open-toe pumps. She completed the look with sleek, straight brunette hair and bronze-toned eye makeup paired with a glossy lip.
As photos from the premiere spread across social media, many viewers looked beyond the couple's fashion choices and focused instead on Paris himself.
The latest images sparked a lively discussion, with netizens debating whether the 24-year-old bears a stronger resemblance to his father, Pierce Brosnan, or to his mother, Keely Shaye Smith.

On Instagram, one user commented, "He looks like his mother 👏👏." Another wrote, "Handsome like his dad and what a beautiful couple at the premiere👏👏." A third added, "He's like his mum."
The conversation continued on Facebook, where the same images prompted a wider range of opinions. Someone else remarked, "Handsome like his dad!" Another user shared, "He is good looking, but not as handsome as his father."
A different person disagreed, writing, "Looks nothing like his father..." after seeing the premiere photos. Another viewer exclaimed, "Gorgeous! He resembles his mother more!"
The premiere also comes as Paris continues building a career beyond his family's famous name.
After graduating from Loyola Marymount University's School of Film and Television in 2023, Paris has steadily expanded his creative pursuits. Celebrating the milestone on Instagram, Pierce encouraged his son to "go into the world with a brave heart and create stories that will make the world a better place."
Alongside filmmaking and acting, Paris has established himself as a visual artist. In a 2024 interview with Paper, he credited his father, a self-taught artist, with inspiring his passion for painting.

Paris said he grew up painting with him and visiting museums with his family, experiences that helped shape his creative path.
"My dad has been a painter since the ’80s and has a vast portfolio of work, which he has been showing lately. We paint together and bond over it. He always told me the key was to practice by constantly drawing straight lines and shapes," Paris told the magazine.
He described his work as "bold and vibrant, oftentimes energetic and sometimes overpowering," adding that music often influences the mood of his paintings.
Looking ahead, he said, "Growth is simply just more painting. I don't ever want to stop painting."

His acting career has continued to grow as well. In June 2025, Deadline reported that he had joined veteran actor John Rhys-Davies in the cast of "Overhill Manor," a coming-of-age comedy directed by Lance Clark.
