Last night's Met Gala red carpet had it all: giant furry cat suits, headpieces several feet tall, an abundance of tweed, and, of course, Pedro Pascal's bare legs. (I mean, what party is complete without those slutty little knees?)

For the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" theme, Pedro Pascal took to the red carpet in a black-and-red Valentino look: a vibrant, oversized red coat with a matching red poplin shirt, a black tie with a gold metal V, and very short black shorts. And, of course, a few key details—the Valentino V logo painted on his nails, a thin gold ring secured on his bottom lip, and a few chunky gold rings on his fingers. Hair elegantly slicked back. Knee popping out at every opportunity. Yeah, he really is the Internet's daddy.

As expected (and as usual, whenever Pedro Pascal does just about anything), fans went wild for the actor's look—if the bold crimson wasn't daringly hot enough, the short shorts sealed the deal.

Buzz-worthiness aside, though, Pascal still stayed perfectly on-theme for the Karl Lagerfeld theme; the tailored shirt, elegant coat, and pristine tie evoke the late Karl from a mile away, and the monochrome vibes accented with a simple black are nothing if not reminiscent of his own designs.

If the night taught us anything, it's this: Whether he's in a rugged dystopian jacket or a sci-fi, space-age suit or a red designer look showing off those damn legs, Pedro Pascal looks good—nay, great—in just about anything.
