Lux Pascal, Pedro Pascal’s younger sister, stole the spotlight at the Gladiator II premiere in London this past Wednesday.
The 32-year-old actress joined her brother, who stars in the highly anticipated sequel as Marcus Acacius, a Roman general trained by Russell Crowe’s iconic character, Maximus.
The siblings, showing off their close bond, graced the red carpet at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, where Pedro cut a dashing figure in a low-cut black shirt and smart trousers.
A Show-Stopping Fashion Moment
While Pedro looked every bit the star, it was Lux who truly captured everyone’s attention.
Dressed in a stunning black gown that hugged her figure, Lux’s outfit featured a daring cut-out along her side that exposed her midriff and leg.
The dress, fastened by a large emerald, also boasted a dramatic train, which Pedro lovingly adjusted as she walked the carpet.
Completing her look with diamond earrings and a flawless makeup look, Lux’s style left fans in awe, with many taking to social media to declare that she had completely upstaged her brother.
Comments flooded in, with fans joking about how Pedro had been relegated to the role of “plus one” while Lux took center stage.
Social Media Gushes Over Lux
Fans couldn’t stop praising Lux’s stunning appearance, with one commenting, “I don’t know whether to look at Pedro or Lux… the Balmaceda Pascals are going to drive me crazy.”
Others declared, “Lux Pascal, THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE,” while one playful post joked, “If I ever met Pedro irl and saw Lux with him… sorry mate, I love you but I’m pushing you out of the way to shoot my shot with Lux.”
A Bond That Runs Deep
The love between Pedro and Lux runs deep.
In a past interview, Pedro referred to his sister as one of the “most powerful people and personalities” he’s ever known.
Reflecting on their bond, Pedro explained how, after the tragic death of their mother in 1999, he felt a protective instinct over Lux and their younger brother, Nicolás.
“I’ve always felt parental toward them,” Pedro shared, emphasizing his need for her just as much as she needed him.
Lux’s Journey and Career
Lux, like her brother, has made a name for herself in acting.
A 2023 graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School, she’s appeared in The Prince, Invisible Heroes, and Los 80.
She came out as transgender in 2021, sharing her story on the cover of Chilean magazine Ya.
Lux credits Pedro for being a crucial part of her journey, recalling how he supported her transition, telling her, “Perfect, this is incredible.”
The Success of Gladiator II
As for Gladiator II, the film has already been hailed by critics as the “best movie of the year” and a “true epic.”
The film, set decades after the original, focuses on Maximus’ son, Lucius (played by Paul Mescal), who returns to Rome, setting the stage for emotional reunions and conflicts.
