Downey posed with co-star Gwyneth Paltrow, who stuck to a more modern look, donning a white KaufmanFranco dress. Still, she showed off a little more leg than Downey, whose lederhosen covered his knees.

Downey completed the Alpine look with green socks and a green neck scarf.

"Iron Man 3" opens May 3 in the U.S.
