15 celebs who love taking their mums on the red carpet
It's Mother's Day on 26 March and, while the rest of us rack our brains trying to think of a good place to take her for afternoon tea, our celebrity counterparts have mum dates absolutely nailed. Instead of spa days or fancy brunches, they just invite their mums to their latest work event, take them on the red carpet and BOOM: instant favourite child points.
While we don't think taking Mum down the pub with our colleagues would be much fun for her, just take a look at these famous faces who love nothing more than walking the red carpet with their mamas.

Ryan Gosling on taking his mother to award ceremonies

Appearing on The Graham Norton Show earlier this month, Ryan admitted, “My mom was convinced by her friend that beehives were gonna be all the rage, and if you didn’t have a beehive, you’d feel embarrassed. And it turned out to be the opposite. It was a natural hair vibe that year.
“My mom sat in front of Rachel Weisz and her hair was so high that Rachel had to keep [mimics Weisz trying to see over his mum’s hair] and my mom kept sinking in her chair, and I didn’t know what to do ’cause I was - I wanted to have a nice night. I didn’t know Meryl Streep, but she was sitting next to me and I said in a commercial break, ‘Would you mind just telling my mom you like her hair?’
“And she was like, ‘I got this.’ And then the commercial went and she goes, ‘Do you know, I was gonna do a beehive and I wish I had.’ And my mom was like, raise the roof all night.”
