Pedro Pascal Poses with His ‘Radiant’ Trans Sister Lux on the Red Carpet at ‘Gladiator II’ Premiere – Photos

Famous siblings Pedro and Lux Pascal lit up the red carpet at the global premiere of “Gladiator II” in London on November 13. While Pedro, who adores his sister, certainly looked dapper in his all-black ensemble, it was Lux who stole the show in her striking gown, as she prompted a flurry of compliments from online admirers.

For the star-studded affair, Pedro, who stars in the action-packed film as Marcus Acacius, sported a black long-sleeved formal top that left a glimpse of his chest exposed with its low-hung neckline. He tucked his shirt into a pair of formal pants and completed his ensemble with black dress shoes.

Matching her brother’s demure elegance, Lux stunned in a long black gown that appeared to be made from velvet. Her beautiful dress features a high-neck collar and daring cutouts, giving viewers a cheeky glimpse of Lux’s left thigh and lower midsection.

The two cutouts are fastened together by a glimmering, emerald-colored buckle. It also has a dramatic train, which trailed behind her on the carpet. Elevating the already eye-catching gown are its sleeves that double as opera gloves.

Lux accessorized with a silver ring and matching dangling earrings, and wore black high heels. She left her dark locks, which feature a fringe, in loose waves.

In addition to online photos of the pair, several videos show heartwarming moments shared between the siblings. One standout post was published on Instagram by the Spanish branch of Harper’s Bazaar, which depicted Pedro fixing Lux’s train so that it spread out nicely on the carpet.

After ensuring that the train looked right, the attentive big brother went to stand by his sister’s side so the two could continue to pose for photos.

Other videos show Pedro and Lux chatting, smiling, and laughing together as camera flashes went off around them. A post shared on Instagram by “The Last of Us” actor revealed that he and Lux’s father, José Pedro Balmaceda Riera, joined them at the premiere. José looked handsome in a black suit with a bowtie.

Additional images show Pedro posing with his fellow “Gladiator II” co-stars such as Denzel Washington, Paul Mescal, Connie Nielson, and Joseph Quinn, to name a few.

The movie’s director, Ridley Scott, also made an appearance at the premiere of the film, which follows the redemption story of Rome gladiator Lucius (played by Paul) and is set to release on November 15.

Upon seeing the pictures and videos of Pedro and Lux, netizens wasted no time in flooding social media comment sections with praise, especially for “The Prince” actress.

“she [sic] is breathtaking!!!” exclaimed a fan, while another gushed, “she’s so pretty! he’s pretty as well, but girl! that dress is incredible [sic]!”

Echoing the compliments, a fellow admirer praised, “Pedro in Bottega and his sister in that dress and those shoes! Siblings [sic] goals.” “Lux steals the show every time she does the red carpet with him,” opined a fan.

Another marveled, “the genes in this family is absolutely WILD [sic]. Lux and Pedro look sooo fine,” while an equally astounded admirer penned, “Oh my god she’s radiant ✨.”

Someone else thought Lux looked so stunning that they even compared her to gorgeous German-American supermodel Heidi Klum. “She lowkey looks like Heidi Klum, very beautiful,” complimented the fan.

“You all look amazing, but your sister is just stunning. You seem so much more calm at events with her there. Great to see your dad there. Full circle,” added an Instagrammer. Another chimed in with, “You and your sister are so cute and beautiful ❤️❤️🙌 congrats 💪🏻😍.”

“Stop it. What a lovely human. His sister looks stunning 🤘❤️,” expressed a fan. Yet another admirer observed, “You & Lux looked like you were having a great time. You both looked soo beautiful 🖤🖤🖤🖤.”

Amid the compliments concerning their appearances, a fan also swooned over the bond Pedro and Lux share as siblings. Referring to one of the videos captured of the brother and sister interacting with each other, the admirer said, “You can just tell he’s always known her and always accepted her for who she is. 🥰🥰🥰.”

Outside of bringing her along with him to industry events, Pedro often proudly boasts about Lux on his social media. One such time saw him post an image of Lux on a Spanish magazine cover.

Alongside the photo, the “Narcos” talent wrote, “My sister, my heart, our Lux.” The caption was originally written in Spanish and has been loosely translated into English.

Pedro has also spoken about Lux in previous interviews. During a discussion with Esquire in 2023, which took place amid a challenging time for trans people, Pedro’s protective big brother side came out.

When the interviewer, Dave Holmes, asked the actor about how Lux felt concerning the discrimination and harm the trans community was facing at that time, Pedro immediately replied, “You mean in terms of the pandemic?”

Dave could tell that Pedro knew exactly what was meant by that question, but he abstained from answering it directly. “I’m immediately sorry I asked […] Can’t everyone who isn’t straight or cisgender just exist, without having to make a statement?” wondered Dave regarding the moment.

“I wouldn’t want to speak on her behalf, but 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,” disclosed Pedro.

Two years before Pedro’s interview with Esquire, Lux conducted an interview with the Spanish magazine Revista Ya, where she spoke about her trans journey and the revamp of her acting career as a woman.

At the time, Lux, who has worked in theater, TV, and starred in international productions, was studying at Juilliard.

Speaking about her former identity as Lucas Balmaceda in Spanish (translated into English), the actress divulged, “Seeing old photos doesn’t make me anxious anymore […] The same happens with theater: I see someone who was doing what they loved.”

She also discussed how her family accepted her transition easily, expressing that it was “almost something they hoped would happen.”

Additionally, Lux shone a spotlight on her relationship with Pedro Pascal. “He has been an important part of this. He is also an artist and has been a guide. He was one of the first to give me the things that were identically shaped,” shared the actress.
