Pedro Pascal‘s younger sister Lux stole the show on Wednesday night, as she joined her brother at the Gladiator II premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square.
The actor, 49, stars in the highly-anticipated sequel as Marcus Acacius, a Roman general who trained under Russell Crowe’s Maximus.
And ever the supportive sister, Lux, 32, was by his side for the UK premiere, with the siblings showing their sweet bond on the red carpet.
Pedro cut a typically handsome figure in a black shirt with a very low-cut V neckline, showing a glimpse of his toned chest.
He added a pair of smart trousers and black dress shoes, while sporting two red pins on his collar.

However, Lux ensured all eyes were on her instead of her famous brother, as she arrived in a show-stopping black gown, that clung to her svelte figure.
The striking number boasted a very racy cut-out across her side, exposing her flat midriff and plenty of leg, while a large emerald held it together.
Her dress also featured a dramatically long train, which Pedro sweetly fixed for her as she walked the carpet.
Lux completed her dazzling look with diamond earrings and a flawless face of makeup to accentuate her stunning features.
And fans couldn’t help but comment on her captivating appearance, as they joked that she had stolen the spotlight from her brother and quipped that Pedro had been relegated to Lux’s ‘plus one’.
They took to social media to gush: ‘I don’t know whether to look at Pedro or Lux… the Balmaceda Pascals are going to drive me crazy’.
‘Lux Pascal!!!!! Ain’t nobody looking at that man; LUX PASCAL THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE; their face cards never decline huh’.
‘Lux Pascal and her plus-one; THE CUTEST SISTER AND BROTHER DUO; lux pascal you will ALWAYS be famous’.

‘the pascal genes are out of this world; OH LUX PASCAL YOU’RE SO GORGEOUS YOU’RE SLAYING IT UP EATING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM UP’.
‘if i ever met pedro irl and saw lux with him like im sorry mate i love you but im pushing you outta the way so i can shoot my shot with the absolute GODDESS that is lux pascal’.
‘She ate him up; Lux Pascal with her brother at the Gladiator ll red carpet; pedro and lux pascal. that’s it. that’s the tweet.’
Pedro and Lux share a strong bond, with the Mandalorian star previously calling her one of the ‘most powerful people and personalities’ he knows.
Speaking to Esquire last year, he gushed: ‘She is and has always been one of the most powerful people and personalities I’ve ever known. My protective side is lethal, but I need her more than she needs me.’
He added that he had always felt ‘parental’ to Lux and his younger brother Nicolás following the death of their mother, Veronica Pascal, who tragically took her own life in February 1999, when Pedro was 24 and Lux just seven.
He explained: ‘They were very young kids, so much younger than me and my older sister, so even if they hadn’t lost a parent, we would still feel parental toward them.
‘And I didn’t naively think I could fill a space like that, but I just always wanted to be like, I’m here.’

Like her brother, Lux is also an actress having graduated from the prestigious Julliard School in 2023, and having roles in The Prince, Invisible Heroes, and Chilean drama series Los 80.
She publicly came out as transgender in 2021, appearing on the cover of Chilean magazine, Ya, where she bravely detailed her transition.
Lux credited Pedro as being an ‘important part’ of her journey as she recalled: ‘When I officially told him about my transition through FaceTime, he asked me how I felt… because I remember that he was worried.
‘I told him, ‘I’m happy.’ And his answer was: “Perfect, this is incredible”.’
Pedro shared a tribute to Lux when the magazine came out, sharing the cover to Instagram with the caption: ‘Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,’ which translates to: ‘My sister, my heart, our Lux.’
Early reviews from critics have called Gladiator II the ‘best movie of the year’ and a ‘true epic’ as they hailed Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington’s performances.
Gladiator II takes place several decades after the first instalment, and features Maximus’ son Lucius (Paul) who is now living in Numidia, a region of northern Africa.
Although he was sent to Numidia as a child, the film follows Lucius’ return to Rome to reunite with his mother (Connie Nielsen’s Lucilla) —and coming into conflict as he does so.
