Actor Maxim Matveev stepped onto the red carpet for the premiere of Trigger.Film, a feature-length follow-up to the series centered on the enigmatic provocateur Artem Streletsky. The event drew attention from fans and media alike, with observers noting the actor’s refreshed look and commanding screen presence. Witnesses described Matveev arriving in a classic ensemble that underscored a timeless style: a black suit paired with a crisp white shirt, a neatly tied tie, and polished boots. A new beard and mustache framed his face, adding a rugged edge to his refined outfit and signaling a deliberate style shift that did not go unnoticed by photographers and guests. The premiere highlighted a who’s who of the local film community, including Lisa Shakira, Ivan Trushin, Anton Rogachev, Ilya Malanin, Diana Pozharskaya, Elena Nikolaeva, Artem Koshman, Ingrid Olerinskaya, as well as Sofia and Polina Nabok among others, all contributing to a lively evening that celebrated the film’s release.
Earlier in October, Maxim Matveev and his partner Elizaveta Boyarskaya made a rare public appearance together, stepping into the spotlight at a milestone event: the 125th anniversary celebration of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre. The couple, who typically keep a low profile when out in public together, drew attention as they walked the red carpet in coordinated ensembles. Observers noted that Boyarskaya wore a black dress that accentuated her slim silhouette, and there were no confirmations regarding any rumors about her pregnancy during the event, which had many fans and media speculating in the days leading up to the gala.
In the weeks prior, Matveev had already generated chatter for his preparation work on a crime drama, including discussions around specific makeup choices that supported his character’s look and mood on screen. This behind-the-scenes detail offered fans a glimpse into the craft that shapes a crime story, from wardrobe decisions to makeup effects, underscoring how much effort goes into creating a credible on-screen presence. The overall attention to the actor’s appearance and the film project reflects the ongoing public interest in his evolving career and the evolving style that accompanies bold, cinematic roles.
