Met Gala or not—we always look forward to a Pedro Pascal red carpet look.
Always original.
Never boring.
Or predictable.

The Last of Us star acknowledged the widespread patellar fascination in a clip with Esquire—complete with a snort—seen below.
@esquire Sorry to do this to you guys, I know its only 10am. #pedropascal #esquire
And then on Monday night, he gave the people what they wanted—bare, slutty knees.
The Chilean-born actor arrived in black and red Valentino, complete with an oversized coat and matching shirt and, most importantly, above-the-knee black shorts.
Pascal adhered to the theme of the night—"Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty."
