Yet despite their incredible on-screen performances (and the movie’s many twists and turns along the way), somehow they were all out-shined by an inanimate object — yes, that simple cable-knit. The cream-colored pullover, which Evans’s character — the spoiled playboy Ransom Drysdale — wore in some of the film’s most-crucial scenes, has caused an online fashion frenzy, with adoring pieces devoted to its insouciantly-distressed impact showing up in [_The New Yorker_ ](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-and-off-the-avenue/the-curious-case-of-chris-evanss-sweater?verso=true)and [_Elle_](https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a30080214/chris-evans-knives-out-sweater-aran-cable-knit/). And while costume designer Jenny Eagan [told _The Hollywood Reporter_](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/how-knives-costume-designer-chose-chris-evans-perfect-sweater-1257525) that she doesn’t even remember where she got the piece (nor what has happened to it since), Evans has managed to pick up its pet-sized turtleneck twin for his dog, Dodger. It’s a “who wore it best?” quandary with no wrong answer, really. > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/1209884603735040001) The actor posted photos of Dodger showing off his best angles while decked out in his holiday attire, [captioning them with a Christmas tree emoji](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/1209884603735040001?s=20). The look in the pup’s eyes shows that he knows he could never be accused of murdering his wealthy grandfather, nor indeed even a single misdeed, because he is clearly a _very good boy._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5754778/chris-evans-dog-knives-out-sweater/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5754778/chris-evans-dog-knives-out-sweater/"},"headline":"Chris Evans Dressed His Dog In a Replica of His Much-Loved Knives Out Knit Sweater","datePublished":"2019-12-27T16:53:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:10.106Z","description":"The Knives Out star was out-sweatered in style","url":"https://time.com/5754778/chris-evans-dog-knives-out-sweater/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","celebrities","Chris Evans","Viral News"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9473687a2640f28b/698a081301168258db97ebff/chris-evans-dog-knives-out-sweater.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9473687a2640f28b/698a081301168258db97ebff/chris-evans-dog-knives-out-sweater.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Knives Out\" Press Conference","caption":"\"Knives Out\" Press Conference","creditText":"Vera Anderson—Getty Images/WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5754778/chris-evans-dog-knives-out-sweater/","name":"Chris Evans Dressed His Dog In a Replica of His Much-Loved Knives Out Knit Sweater"}}]}] ```
