Met Gala 2023: 'Internet's daddy' Pedro Pascal looks red hot in shorts, boots and ponytail

Pedro Pascal attends Met Gala 2023 donning a red trench coat with boots and shorts, and the internet goes wild

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: At the 2023 Met Gala on Monday, May 1, Pedro Pascal dazzled onlookers by standing out from all the black and white attire with a stunning red coat and black shorts. It was a remembrance of the 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' theme, which honored the fashion designer who died in February 2019.

With 'The Last of Us', 'The Mandalorian', and the upcoming 'Strange Way of Life', Pascal, 48, is the man of the hour. His attire made it quite obvious that he was attending the 2023 Met Gala in support of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The May 1 ceremony had all the sex appeal thanks to "Internet’s favorite Daddy," who attended wearing a red trenchcoat, black shorts, black boots, and a black tie. The look was reminiscent of Kraftwerk's iconic album Die Mensch-Maschine/The Man Machine, as noted by Hollywood Life.

Part-time anime villain, full-time string-puller

Pascal wore a Valentino outfit that broke quite a lot of rules at the Met Gala 2023. His outfit consisted of shorts, lace-up military boots over a pair of schoolboy socks, and an elegant overcoat. He topped it off with a power stache and a slicked-back hairdo. As a result, he's a part-time anime villain and a full-time Internet string-puller, which made it inevitable that Twitter would become heated, as per GQ.

Although the actor's newfound hero status has generated a lot of discussions, it didn't develop in a conventional manner. The fashion of Pascal is erratic. There is weirdness, and as a result of an innate IDGAFness, the actor has amassed a fan base that supports the out-of-left-field actions that are meant only for Pascal, the outlet notes.

How did Pedro Pascal become the Internet's 'Daddy'?

Pedro may not have children of his own, but he has earned the title of "Internet Daddy" after winning over fans with his father-figure roles as Din Djarin in 'The Mandalorian' and Joel Miller in 'The Last of Us'. Following his performances as a pseudo-parent, social media users gave him the sexually suggestive nickname "Daddy."

'Pedro Pascal can wear anything & has no fear!'

Fans went gaga over the 'internet daddy's red hot trench coat, his ponytail, and shorts. One fan took to Twitter and wrote, "Pedro Pascal can wear anything & has no fear! This is artistic interpretation for museum’s fundraiser. The ponytail was signature Lagerfeld since 1980s? Can’t miss Pedro in the red which flows like The Met banners. He can’t wear a Lakers shirt everywhere! We’ve seen it already." A second fan wrote, "THE OUTFIT, THE LEGS, ITS GIVING." A third fan wrote, "This is so camp I love this." Another one exclaimed, "Looking amazin... but also like he could be a scout master for a sith kids." Someone else chimed in, "Let’s be real here. He could show up In just about anything and still look good. The boots and the shorts are giving me early 90’s Trent Reznor vibes." Fans have shared meme videos as well.
