The red carpet at the premiere of “Gladiator II” in London became the stage for a show-stopping appearance that left fans buzzing.
Leicester Square, transformed into a Roman spectacle for the highly anticipated film, was filled with Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Pedro Pascal, who portrays Marcus Acacius, a Roman general in the sequel, arrived in a sleek and striking ensemble.
His all-black outfit, featuring a low-cut V-neck shirt, tailored trousers, and polished dress shoes with red pins, showcased his signature style.
But as the cameras flashed and the crowd watched, it wasn’t just Pedro who captured attention at the grand event.
Standing beside him was his younger sister Lux Pascal, an actress and transgender activist who stole the spotlight effortlessly.
Lux appeared in a dramatic black gown that redefined elegance and red carpet glamour with its bold and daring design.
The dress featured a stunning cut-out detail, exposing her midriff and leg, held together by an eye-catching emerald buckle.
Adding to the drama, the gown had a flowing train, which Pedro adjusted for his sister as photographers captured the moment.
Lux completed her look with dazzling diamond earrings and impeccable makeup, enhancing her striking facial features.
Fans on social media were quick to praise her, with comments ranging from admiration to playful humor about her overshadowing her brother.
“Lux Pascal!!!!! Ain’t nobody looking at that man; LUX PASCAL THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE; their face cards never decline huh,” gushed one user on X.
“She ate him up; Lux Pascal with her brother at the “Gladiator II” red carpet. Pedro and Lux Pascal, that’s it. That’s the tweet,” joked another.
Admiration poured in, with fans calling Lux an “absolute goddess” and praising the Pascal family’s “out-of-this-world genes.”
While Lux’s stunning presence mesmerized many, her bond with Pedro became a focal point of heartfelt discussion online.
Pedro, known for his tough, commanding roles, has always expressed profound love and admiration for his younger sister.
In an interview with “Esquire,” Pedro shared, “She is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I’ve ever known.”
“My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me,” he added, revealing their deeply supportive relationship.
Their closeness deepened after the loss of their mother, Verónica Pascal, in 1999, when Pedro was 24, and Lux was just seven.
Pedro explained, “They were very young kids, so much younger than me and my older sister, so we always felt parental toward them.”
Lux has often credited Pedro as a guiding force in her life, especially during her journey of self-discovery and transition.
In 2021, Lux came out as transgender and shared her story in “Ya” magazine, where she detailed her brother’s unwavering support.
“When I officially told him about my transition through FaceTime, he asked me how I felt,” Lux recalled in the interview.
“I told him, ‘I’m happy.’ And his answer was: ‘Perfect, this is incredible.’” Pedro even shared her magazine cover on Instagram, writing, “Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux.”
Beyond her advocacy, Lux has carved a path in entertainment, graduating from Juilliard in 2023 and taking on notable acting roles.
She has appeared in “The Prince,” “Invisible Heroes,” and the Chilean drama series “Los 80,” inspiring many with her authenticity.
It was Lux’s striking gown, however, that turned heads and sparked a flood of adoration during the “Gladiator II” premiere.
Her bold fashion choice, coupled with her radiant confidence, made her the undeniable star of the night.
While Pedro walked the red carpet as part of the “Gladiator II” cast, it was his sister Lux who truly stole the show.
