Paul Mescal surprises at Milan Fashion Week with tiny striped shorts, evoking the iconic “Risky Business” look.
Milan, meet Paul Mescal‘s thighs. The Irish actor, known for his tiny shorts in New York and London, brought his distinctive style to Milan Fashion Week. Mescal, seated front row at Sabato De Sarno‘s Spring 2025 menswear show, showed that men too can embrace the trend of exposed underwear.

The actor sported a partially unbuttoned blue shirt, but the spotlight was on his tiny striped shorts, reminiscent of classic boxer briefs. These cotton shorts, ending just mid-thigh, evoked Tom Cruise‘s iconic wardrobe in “Risky Business.” He completed his ensemble with square sunglasses, black loafers, and visible white socks.
The trend of underwear as outerwear has been sweeping celebrity wardrobes recently. While typically a feminine trend, male figures like Troye Sivan have also embraced this fashion, as seen at the Cannes Film Festival.

Later, Mescal mingled with other stellar attendees, including Venus and Serena Williams, dressed in distinctive Gucci tones. With his bold and carefree style, Mescal continues to prove himself a natural in fashion.
