Paul Mescal’s look at the “Gladiator II” Irish premiere on November 7, 2024, reflected modern elegance with a dash of rugged charm. The centerpiece? A Gucci custom grey herringbone tweed long coat—a modern nod to classic tailoring.
Underneath, Mescal kept things sharp and minimal with dark navy wool trousers and a white collarless shirt, also Gucci. The collarless shirt was a particularly inspired choice—it stripped away the stuffiness of traditional shirting, leaving a clean, slightly romantic silhouette that paired perfectly with the heavy tweed. A subtle nod, perhaps, to Mescal’s ability to marry masculine toughness with soft, unassuming charm.
The black leather boots grounded the look, adding polish and a hint of toughness, while the overall neutral palette created a sophisticated, seamless flow. Mescal’s styling here felt deliberate but not overdone: effortless, refined, and very Roman-hero-turned-modern-leading-man.
