However, Lux made sure all eyes were on her rather than her famous brother as she arrived in a stunning black dress that hugged her slim figure.

The statement number featured a very racy cutout at the side, revealing her flat midriff and plenty of leg, while a large emerald held it together.

Her dress also had a dramatic long train, which Pedro lovingly fixed for her as she walked down the carpet.

Lux completed her dazzling look with diamond earrings and a flawless face of makeup to accentuate her stunning facial features.

And fans couldn’t help but comment on her captivating looks, as they joked that she stole the spotlight from her brother and joked that Pedro had been demoted to Lux’s ‘plus one’.

They took to social media to say: ‘I don’t know whether to watch Pedro or Lux… the Balmaceda Pascals will drive me crazy’.

‘LuxPascal!!!!! No one looks at that man; LUX PASCAL THE WOMAN YOU ARE; their face cards never refuse eh’.

‘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 ARE SO BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU DESTROY IT AND EAT EVERYONE OF THEM’.

“If I ever met Pedro Irl and saw lux with him, like I’m sorry buddy, I love you, but I’m pushing you aside so I can shoot with the absolute GODDESS that is Lux Pascal.”

“She ate him; Lux Pascal with her brother on the red carpet of Gladiator II; Pedro and Lux ​​Pascal. that’s it. that’s the tweet.’

Pedro and Lux ​​share a strong bond, previously with the Mandalorian star calls her one of the “most powerful people and personalities” he knows.

Speaking to Esquire last year, he said: “She is and always has been one of the most powerful people and personalities I have ever known. My protective side is deadly, but I need her more than she needs me.”

He added that he had always felt “parental” towards Lux and his younger brother Nicolás after the death of their mother, Veronica Pascal, who tragically committed suicide in February 1999, when Pedro was 24 and Lux ​​just seven.

He explained: ‘They were very young children, so much younger than me and my older sister, so even if they hadn’t lost a parent, we would still feel like parents towards them.

“And I didn’t naively think I could fill a space like that, but I just always wanted to be: I’m here.”

Like her brother, Lux is also an actress who graduated from the prestigious Julliard School in 2023 and has had roles in The Prince, Invisible Heroes and the Chilean drama series Los 80.

She publicly came out as transgender in 2021 and appeared on the cover of Chilean magazine Ya, where she courageously detailed her transition.

Lux called Pedro an “important part” of her journey, as she recalled: “When I officially told him about my move over FaceTime, he asked me how I felt… because I remember him being concerned.

“I told him, ‘I’m happy.’ And his response was, “Perfect, this is incredible.”‘

Pedro shared a tribute to Lux when the magazine came out, sharing the cover on Instagram with the caption, “Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,” which translates to, “My sister, my heart, our Lux.”

Early critics’ reviews called Gladiator II the “best movie of the year” and a “true epic” as they praised the performances of Paul Mescal and Denzel Washington.

Gladiator II takes place a few decades after the first part and is about Maximus’ son Lucius (Paul) who now lives in Numidia, a region in North Africa.

Though 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 finds himself conflicted in the process.
