Pedro Pascal's Cannes Fit Is One Tank Away From a Global Meltdown
The actor showed up with a political thriller, a Bottega bag, and biceps that nearly broke the internet
Pedro Pascal didn’t come to Cannes 2025 for a fashion show. He came with a film (Eddington, directed by Ari Aster), a tan, and exactly three outfits that reminded the world why he’s become something of a generational obsession.
It’s been Pedro Pascal season for the last couple of years now. And the man is dressing like he knows it. There’s a reason he owns the internet. And no, it’s not just because he’s charming and weird and self-deprecating in that rare, Hollywood-unicorn kind of way. Maybe it’s because he’s not scared to speak out against Trump at a press conference. It’s definitely because the man knows how to dress.

He’s not here to reinvent menswear. But somehow, every look he wore at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival—airport to premiere—went viral. It wasn’t about risk. It was about precision. Confidence. And that rare, almost extinct breed of style that doesn’t beg for attention because it already has it.
Here are three fits that Pascal pulled off at Cannes 2025.
The Airport Fit
Before he even touched a red carpet, Pascal made a statement the moment he landed in Nice. The man looked like a Bottega moodboard brought to life: crisp white tee, tailored blue jeans, gold-crested loafers, and a khaki twill Harrington jacket with Bottega Veneta’s signature intrecciato leather on the collar. Oh, and an enormous Andiamo bag casually slung over his shoulder.
The Red Carpet Look
At the premiere of Eddington, Pascal pulled up in a monochrome black suit that did everything it needed to do—and nothing it didn’t. Double-breasted jacket, sharp lapels, matching black shirt and tie, and straight-leg trousers. No gimmicks. No splashy accessories (except probably the new it glasses we’ve seen being worn to the red carpet).

The Tank That Broke The Internet
And then came the look. At the Eddington photocall, Pascal showed up in a black muscle tank that basically stopped time on social media. Arms out, a hint of side torso, sharp tailored black trousers, studded loafers, and the kind of smug grin that says, Yeah, I know exactly what I’m doing.
One Twitter user literally described the look as “like a Victorian man catching a glimpse of an ankle.” There was a faint whiff of ‘90s indie star energy about it, the kind you’d associate with River Phoenix or Benicio del Toro in their early days. In a year where Cannes red carpet fashion took a modest turn, Pedro Pascal somehow made sleeveless feel revolutionary.
But if Pascal noticed, he didn’t show it. He was too busy goofing around—blowing kisses, hugging co-stars, radiating that signature blend of self-assured weirdness and gentle dad energy.

Pedro's Cannes cameo this year isn't just for show. It's for Eddington, Ari Aster's new mind-bender where Pascal plays the lead. The movie, which premiered at the festival to a standing ovation and a fair bit of head-scratching, is being billed as "the first truly modern American Western". Set in a small New Mexico town during the height of the 2020 pandemic, Eddington throws Pascal's character, a well-meaning but unraveling mayor, into a political standoff with Joaquin Phoenix's sheriff, as tensions over mask mandates and social unrest threaten to rip the town apart. The film is part cosmic horror, part metaphysical therapy.
