The Bacon family all stepped out in a rare outing for the premiere of the Timothée Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, and Kevin’s son Travis turned heads with his goth girlfriend

Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon’s son Travis Bacon put on an edgy display with his gorgeously goth girlfriend Angelina Sambrotto at the premiere of the Timothée Chalamet-led Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown recently, sending the internet into a frenzy. The elder Bacon offspring was dressed in all black with sleek, shoulder-length hair, while his partner was in a black latex ’fit that turned heads with its plunging neckline.

Meanwhile, the Footloose star paired jeans with a black shirt and a leather jacket, while his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, paired a white top with a black jacket and trousers. Daughter Sosie Bacon, on the other hand, stood out in a red floor-length dress.
