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 at the IMAX Darling Harbour in Sydney for the sequel premiere.

The Irish actor, 28, looked dapper in a brown suit as he lead arrivals for the action flick, which follows on from Russel Crowe’s 2000 hit Gladiator.

Pairing the trendy look with a pair of shiny black dress shoes, the rising star rocked a short hair-do and slightly unbuttoned white shirt. 

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

The 34-year-old Danish actress looking stunning in a yellow Stella McCartney gown which is worth an eye-popping $4,440.

She pulled her blonde tresses into an artful up-do before slicking on a bold red lip to complete her look.

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

Aussie influencers soon arrived on the red carpet, with Amy Castano risking a wardrobe malfunction in her gown.

The fuchsia frock featured a soaring thigh split which barely covered her modesty as she put on a busty display in the corset bodice.

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

Laura Dundovic flaunted her figure in a gorgeous red gown which hugged her frame.
