It’s summer blockbuster season and we’re not exactly lacking in the superhero department. With Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps both on the promotional circuit, celebrity stylists are racing to pull the most eye-catching looks. But which cast is going to pull off the most—ahem—super press style?
The Fantastic Four cast pulled out all the stops today at the film’s London premiere. Stars Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby each turned to some of the buzziest designers of the moment for their looks. Pascal tapped Haider Ackermann, who fashioned him a black double-breasted Tom Ford suit with low-contrast polka-dots, which he wore with a sky blue silk scarf underneath. Kirby also opted for a similar hue, nodding to the heroes’ uniforms. She wore a funky fringed silk dress from Jonathan Anderson’s final Loewe collection. Julia Garner, meanwhile, channeled her inner Silver Surfer in an asymmetrical sequined gown, worn over a sheer long-sleeve and a gray bralette.
While the cast is still early on in their press cycle, they’ve all pulled their weight on the fashion front. Yesterday in Berlin, each of the four main cast members (Pascal, Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn) wore statement-making looks—from Moss-Bachrach’s stripes, to Pascal’s polka-dots, and Kirby’s sheer maternity wear—without looking asynchronous.
The Superman cast also caught our attention with their fashion. Nicholas Hoult paid homage to his character, Lex Luthor, spending much of his summer press tour in leather. He hit an all-time high (in terms of style and temperature, probably) when he donned a pair of leather Saint Laurent trousers for the Los Angeles premiere. He wasn’t the only one who embraced some light method dressing. David Corenswet opted for dapper suiting that looked straight out of the Daily Planet, while Rachel Brosnahan leaned into leading lady style in a purple sequined Ralph Lauren dress with side cutouts.
