Nicholas Hoult Wore Saint Laurent To The ‘Superman’ LA Premiere

Nicholas Hoult joined Rachel Brosnahan for the Los Angeles premiere of Superman, held at TCL Chinese Theatre on Monday—and he was giving Lex Luthor, but make it heat-resistant.

f you’re anything like me, you scrolled down this look with cautious hope—no, a silent prayer—that the Saint Laurent Fall 2025 thigh-high boots weren’t staging a comeback. After Pedro Pascal and Alexander Skarsgård tried (and failed) to make them happen, I think we’ve all seen enough.

Thankfully, no boots in sight. Just a sleek Saint Laurent jacket, shirt and striped tie combo paired with—brace yourself—leather trousers. Yes, leather. In July. For a summer blockbuster.

But before I could even start to question the logic, I clocked the accessories: Saint Laurent SL796 shades, Vadim derbies and a motorcycle belt. Suddenly, the whole thing snapped into place.

With that brooding stare and slick styling, Nicholas is fully leaning into his villain era—and somehow, the heat-defying leather makes sense. He’s not just playing Lex Luthor. He’s dressing like modern day villain too. And you know what? He’s pulling it off.

Stylist: Jason Bolden.
