Julie Ragolia, who has been styling Pedro Pascal since 2023, officially confirmed that she and the actor have ended their professional relationship. The announcement followed the Cannes Film Festival and came shortly after Ragolia spoke out about the severe backlash she faced from fans over Pascal’s fashion choices on the red carpet. This development highlights growing tensions within the actor’s public image and personal team.
Addressing the Backlash Over Pascal’s Red Carpet Fashion
Ragolia made it clear that her departure from styling Pedro Pascal was not directly caused by the online criticism but was a mutual decision made after Cannes. She told GQ,
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.
Despite the separation, Ragolia remains unapologetic about her creative vision for Pascal’s looks.
Online Abuse and Threats Against Julie Ragolia
Earlier in April, Ragolia revealed that she endured extreme online harassment, including death threats, linked to Pedro Pascal’s fashion appearances. A particularly intense reaction occurred after a Star Wars event in Japan, where fans condemned Pascal’s outfit choice. Ragolia stated on X,
One of you called for my death because you didn’t like Pedro’s outfit. 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.
She also addressed accusations about her originality, emphasizing,
Pedro is a grown adult with his own opinions on what he likes and what feels good to him. Stylists are not dictators. We are collaborators.
Jamie Mizrahi Steps In as Pedro Pascal’s New Stylist
Following Julie Ragolia’s exit, Jamie Mizrahi has taken on the role of Pedro Pascal’s stylist. Mizrahi has already worked closely with Pascal during promotional tours for his forthcoming projects, including Eddington and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. This change signals a new chapter in the actor’s public presentation as he continues to build anticipation for his upcoming roles.
Impact and Future Outlook of the Stylist Change
The split between Pedro Pascal and Julie Ragolia underscores the pressures faced by celebrities and their creative teams amid intense public scrutiny. Ragolia’s experience with online abuse highlights the darker side of fandom and social media. As Mizrahi assumes styling duties, Pascal’s future fashion choices may reflect a different approach. Observers will watch closely to see how this change affects his red carpet impressions and public reception moving forward.
