Pedro Pascal Flexes His Style (and His Biceps) in a Muscle Tee at Cannes Photocall

Leave it to Pedro Pascal to bring the heat to Cannes—no naked dress required. While the festival has cracked down on skin-baring fashion for this year’s red carpet, Pascal proved there’s more than one way to flash a little flesh.

At the photocall for his upcoming film Eddington, the actor arrived in a sleeveless black muscle tee that gave full attention to his arms. Styled with sharp black tailored trousers and matching loafers adorned with metal studs, the look was a masterclass in low-key edge—equal parts effortless and elevated.

Pascal stars in Eddington as Ted Garcia, the town’s mayor running for re-election during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The political thriller centers on a standoff between Garcia and the local sheriff, turning neighbor against neighbor in the town of Eddington, New Mexico. Tensions escalate as public health, power struggles, and personal loyalties collide—offering Pascal yet another complex, charged role to sink his teeth into.

Known for blending high fashion with a laid-back attitude, Pascal’s Cannes moment felt totally on-brand. While the red carpet may have gone modest this year, Cannes' reigning “cool uncle” reminded everyone that you don’t need to be naked to make a statement—you just need the right tank top.
