Pedro Pascal Has a New Stylist

Pedro Pascal, who turned 50 in April, has been acting professionally for his entire adult life. But it wasn’t until his Emmy-nominated turn in HBO’s The Last of Us, a sci-fi drama series based on a popular post-apocalyptic video game, that Pascal became one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood, garnering him new roles, brand deals, and a very vocal fanbase with a particular appetite for the star’s thighs.

Of course, the thigh frenzy hasn’t been entirely organic. Pascal’s “fashion daddy” persona is thanks in no small part to the stylist Julie Ragolia, who began dressing the actor in zany, meme-ready menswear not long after The Last of Us premiered in 2023. Ragolia—who primarily styles editorial shoots and runway shows, though her red-carpet clients have included Riz Ahmed and LaKeith Stanfield—was open about her and Pascal’s playful sartorial intentions: “I’m not a celebrity stylist. I just enjoy shaking up the internet for people,” she tweeted two years ago. While Pascal was promoting the third season of The Last of Us this spring, the duo came in hot: Pascal was the first A-lister to wear Saint Laurent’s kinky thigh-high boots—a fan favorite from designer Anthony Vaccarello’s fall 2025 collection.

In an email to GQ on Friday, Ragolia confirmed that she and Pascal are no longer working together. “I’m a storyteller, so I told a story about how men of a certain age can still be seen as sexy. After Cannes was a good time to part ways,” she wrote.

Pascal’s conspicuous fashion garnered many fans, if also some detractors. “One of you called for my death because you didn’t like Pedro’s outfit,” Ragolia wrote on X on April 20, two days after Pascal wore Acne Studios shorts with knee-high boots to a Star Wars event in Japan. “I’m not even going to comment on individual taste or one’s personal preferences. I’m just going to let you sit with your obsession.”
