Among them was Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who, for perhaps the first time ever, managed to look… not so cute. The actor walked the red carpet proudly in his very comfy-looking DIY costume. He went all out with green face paint and green Yoda ears, but beyond that, he really seemed to be prioritizing comfort. He sported a green beanie, a very soft-looking robe, and some green pajama pants. (If you look closely, you’ll see that those are not Yoda pajama pants, but rather, Grinch pajama pants.) _The Office_ star Rainn Wilson [also showed up in costume](https://twitter.com/rainnwilson/status/676578290199474176 "undefined"). _Read next:_ [_7 Great Ways to Avoid Star Wars Spoilers_](http://time.com/4147941/avoid-star-wars-spoilers/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4149092/star-wars-joseph-gordon-levitt-yoda-costume/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4149092/star-wars-joseph-gordon-levitt-yoda-costume/"},"headline":"Joseph Gordon-Levitt Dressed Up as Yoda for the Star Wars Premiere","datePublished":"2015-12-15T15:54:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:44.797Z","description":"His costume involved Grinch pajama pants","url":"https://time.com/4149092/star-wars-joseph-gordon-levitt-yoda-costume/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd25c1d3516102b73/69887558e20a878e34a8ea51/gettyimages-501400384.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd25c1d3516102b73/69887558e20a878e34a8ea51/gettyimages-501400384.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GettyImages-501400384","caption":"Joseph Gordon-Levitt attends the World Premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the Dolby, El Capitan, and TCL Theatres on December 14, 2015 in Hollywood, California.","creditText":"Alberto E.
