Few things are more textbook Gentlemen’s Quarterly than the very concept of the red-carpet premiere of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II, which features the likes of Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Denzel Washington. Suits! Swords! Swagger!
On Wednesday, the cast of Scott’s long-awaited sequel gathered in London for the glitziest stop yet on the film’s press tour. Mescal, assisted by his longtime stylist Felicity Kay, dressed in his usual rakish fashion in a custom single-breasted tuxedo and open bow-collar silk shirt by Gucci; the Italian label is the actor’s go-to brand for big events, per their ongoing partnership. Pascal wore an off-the-runway look from Bottega Veneta’s spring 2025 collection: a black open-collar shirt with matchstick-shaped decals, front-pleated trousers, and woven loafers. Quinn, a relative newcomer in the industry’s Fashion It Guy economy, wore a sharp Prada leather blazer.
Elsewhere on the carpet, Mescal’s pal and All of Us Strangers castmate Andrew Scott wore a sparkly argyle cardigan; Denzel wore formal sneakers; and hell, even King Charles III rolled up in a classic peak-lapel tux.
