Irish actor Paul Mescal turns heads in brown suit as he leads Aussie celebrity arrivals for the Gladiator II premiere

Gladiator II star Paul Mescal stole the show on Wednesday night as he stepped out to Sydney’s IMAX Darling Harbor for the follow-up premiere.

The Irish actor, 28, looked dapper in a brown suit as he led the arrival for the action film, which follows Russell Crowe’s 2000 hit Gladiator.

The rising star teamed the trendy look with a pair of shiny black dress shoes, with a short haircut and a slightly unbuttoned white shirt.

He was followed closely by co-star Connie Nielsen, who reprized her role of Lucilla from the first film.

The 34-year-old Danish actress looks stunning in a yellow Stella McCartney dress that is worth a whopping $4,440.

She pulled her blonde locks into an artsy updo before adding a bold red lip to complete her look.

Gladiator II star Fred Hechinger was also in attendance, wearing a classic black suit with matching loafers.

Australian influencers soon arrived on the red carpet, with Amy Castano risking a dress breakdown in her wardrobe.

The fuchsia dress had a high thigh slit that barely concealed her modesty as she put on a busty show in the corset bodice.

Ex-husband Jono Castano wasn’t far behind, with the gym owner wearing a simple blue suit for the occasion.
