The Texas-born entertainer complemented the outfit with black-rimmed glasses and a silver chain.
The star-studded Shazam! The premiere of Fury of the Gods also drew appearances from Helen Mirren, Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, as well as Meagan Good, among others.

The 2019 sequel to Shazam is the first of four DCEU films releasing in 2023 and hitting theaters March 17, followed by The Flash (June 16), Blue Bettle (August 18) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (December 25).
At the end of last month, Warner Bros. released the new trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which showed new action-packed footage.
Zachary Levi returns as the title character – the adult superhero that Billy Batson (Asher Angel) transforms into after being bestowed amazing powers by a wizard (Djimon Hounsou) in the original 2019 Shazam!
Rodriguez became part of the Modern Family cast when he was just 10 years old.
He portrayed a sweet and smart boy with a great sense of humor who was overprotective of his mother.
The sitcom chronicled the everyday lives of three connected family units, all very different.
Modern Family ran for 11 seasons – 250 episodes – over 10 years, from 2009 to 2020, with Rico playing Gloria Delgado Pritchett’s (Sofia Vergara) son and Jay Pritchett’s (Ed O’Neill) stepson.
The show also starred Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Sarah Hyland, Eric Stonestreet, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Ariel Winter, among others.

Despite his young age, Modern Family was not the actor’s first role.
He previously had small roles in My Name is Earl, Nip/Tuck, ER and NCIS after following his sister Raini into acting.
Ahead of the show’s final season, he shared how difficult it would be saying goodbye to his on-screen family.
“That’s going to be hard. I’ve been on this show for an incredible 11 years and this is my family,” he told Hollywood Life.
“They’re my second family so I know I think once we’re done in March we’ll come back and start in July.”
“It’s going to be weird when that time of year comes around again and we know we won’t get together to start filming again. It’s definitely going to be weird and an adjustment period.’
After the show ended, he had a chance to reunite with Sofia Vergara during a guest appearance on America’s Got Talent, where she is a judge.
“She treats me like one of her children. She’s definitely like my second mom,” he said of the reunion.
