'Gladiator II' premiere was a star-studded affair, but one sibling absolutely stole the show
Looks like good looks run in the Pascal household as Pedro Pascal stuns fans as he arrives with his gorgeous sister, Lux Pascal, at the global premiere of 'Gladiator II' in London on Wednesday, 13 November. The sibling duo made a striking impression with their red carpet outfits, with Lux particularly glowing brightly in her daring ensemble. Pascal, who plays Marcus Acacius in the highly anticipated sequel, looked dashing in a black shirt with a very low-cut V neckline that revealed a glimpse of his toned chest.
On the other hand, his ever-supportive sister, Lux, lit up the red carpet in a stunning black gown. The gorgeous dress featured an extremely racy cut-out across her side that revealed her toned stomach and legs, with a huge emerald holding it together. Her outfit also had a tremendously long train, which Pascal straightened for her as she walked the carpet. Lux quickly became the talk of the town, stealing the spotlight from her talented brother and leaving fans wondering about her.
