Although the actor didn't bother to slip into a pair of smart shoes to match his tailored suit, simply lacing up a pair of trainers for the occasion whereas his producer wife Susan opted for stylish covered up chic in a floor length black dress.

 

Downey, who met his wife on the set of Gothika in 2003, has admitted he got the huge paycheck for his portrayal of Iron Man.
He landed a deal with Marvel Studios in 2008 to include him being paid a percentage, reportedly five per cent or higher, of the box office take for any future movie in which he played the character.

The actor, who wore Gucci trainers with his designer suit, told reporters on the red carpet he enjoyed wearing the Iron Man suit for the third film in the series.

'I can't say if wearing the (Iron Man) suit gets easier but... we had a great time. We shot most of this movie in North Carolina and we had the best summer there,' he added.
The 48-year-old actor has thus far refused to confirm if he will make another movie in the successful franchise but director Shane Black is confident Robert will return for at least one more outing as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
