Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon stepped out in San Sebastian for a night centered on his new film, but their arrival soon drew attention for another reason.

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon attended a special screening of "Heart of the Beast" at the 74th San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain on September 23, 2026.
The screening put Pitt's latest film in the spotlight. Directed by David Ayer and written by Cameron Alexander, "Heart of the Beast" stars Pitt as James Belmont, a Special Forces officer stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with his combat dog after a harrowing plane crash. J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe also star, according to IMDb.
On the red carpet, Pitt and de Ramon stayed close as photographers documented their arrival. Pitt wrapped an arm around de Ramon in some shots, while others caught the pair exchanging glances.

De Ramon wore a floor-length, nude-toned sheer gown covered in intricate green lace embroidery. Thin straps framed the plunging neckline, while the fitted silhouette carried the green detailing down to the hem.
Page Six noted that the gown also featured skinny cross-back straps and a low back. De Ramon kept the jewelry minimal, wearing only a pinky ring on her right hand.
Her dark hair was swept into a loose updo, with bangs and face-framing strands left around her face.
Pitt kept his clothes classic in a black three-piece suit, crisp white shirt, black tie, and black shoes. His styling supplied the less traditional details: slicked-back hair, lightly tinted gold-framed glasses, and a neatly trimmed salt-and-pepper beard.
The photographs did not produce anything close to a consensus online.

On Instagram, one netizen went straight for the gown: "That dress!!!!!! 😍😍🤩🤩." Pitt's hairstyle caught a different viewer's attention. "Brads [sic] hair...slicked down daddy vibes. 🤷♀️," the person wrote.
The fit of de Ramon's dress drew a more detailed critique. "Her dress does not fit her properly. The straps are too long and are causing wrinkles in the bodice. Not to mention how her chest area looks. Gorgeous dress tho [sic]," a commenter shared.
The next reaction zeroed in on the bodice: "Top of dress....Complete failure." One netizen then speculated about de Ramon's appearance, writing, "Facelift would do that to you." Her hairstyle was also up for debate. "The hair is too messy for the occasion," someone remarked.
On another Instagram post, the tone was far more enthusiastic. "Omg... killer dress! She looks fabulous ❣️," one person wrote. Pitt received praise of his own. "He's the best looking man ever," a viewer declared.
On Facebook, the conversation continued. "She did something on her face, she's pretty," one person wrote.
A lengthier reaction praised de Ramon while also referencing Pitt's ex-wife: "She is beautiful, very natural, a very pretty skin is beautiful, Angelina is also beautiful but this girl has nothing to envy, it's noticeable that she has a very pretty and very confident personality, I like the couple they make."

The clothes drew criticism as well. "His suit is super wrinkled and her dress is quite tight," a commenter remarked. The gown's transparency prompted a blunter response: "She looks like she's going naked."
On X, that same aspect of the dress became the punch line. "She wore the slip and forgot her dress," one person wrote.
The San Sebastian appearance followed another star-studded outing for Pitt and de Ramon at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding.
Behind-the-scenes photos shared on Instagram by makeup artist Charlie Riddle and hairstylist Laurie Zanoletti showed the couple coordinating in black, with Pitt in classic suiting, a bow tie, and sunglasses, while de Ramon donned a semi-sheer lace dress.
The celebration also gave Pitt a story to tell at the "Heart of the Beast" premiere. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he recalled the scale of the nearly 1,000-guest, phone-free wedding.
"Let me tell you, that was such an amazing night," Pitt said. "I think we were there 10 hours, maybe 12. It was so thoughtful and well-planned and really moving and great fun."
At one point, the crowded dance floor separated him from de Ramon. "But it was big, and yeah, at one point, I lost her in the melee, on the dance floor," Pitt said with a laugh.

Finding her did not take long. "There's always someone to go, 'She went that way,'" he joked.
Pitt has previously suggested that the couple's increasingly public appearances have happened naturally rather than according to a plan.
Pitt and de Ramon attended a public event together for the first time at the 2024 British Grand Prix, according to British GQ. Asked whether they deliberately chose an F1 race for that moment, Pitt rejected the idea that it had been calculated.
"No, dude, it's not that calculated," he said. "If you are living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve."
Away from red carpets and major events, Pitt has shared a more everyday detail about traveling with de Ramon.
He told Esquire that he is a terrible packer and sometimes brings entire suitcases he never opens. De Ramon, he said, is much more organized and puts their clothes neatly into hotel dresser drawers. Pitt said he is "learning."
From their 2024 public appearances to their latest night together in San Sebastian, Pitt and de Ramon's outings have provided a growing record of the couple in front of the cameras. The photos that follow trace those moments through 2026.
