Lee Pace Wears Sleeveless Leather Top to Foundation Premiere

Lee Pace is out here giving the people what they want. On June 29, the actor bared his biceps in a sleeveless leather shirt at the season two premiere of Apple TV+’s “Foundation,” thus delivering me a whole new crop of phone backgrounds to swoon over. Pace kept things tame upon arrival, wearing a perfectly tailored navy suit and black loafers to walk the red carpet. But when it came time for the afterparty at a Soho House in London, he ditched the jacket and said, “Welcome to the gun show.”

Pace’s leather top is worthy of more than a little commotion. Hailing from Prada’s spring 2023 menswear collection, the design fit him like a glove, thanks to the built-in belt above the waist. The back featured a knit triangle Prada logo, providing an unexpected juxtaposition of materials, and the zippered closure on one shoulder practically blended right in. I must extend my sincerest gratitude to stylist Michael Fisher for selecting the top and bringing the whole look to life.

Though Pace could make a trash bag look runway worthy with little effort, he’s always experimenting with cool looks on the red carpet. The star layered a Valentino Hawaiian shirt over a mushroom-logo t-shirt for Vulture Festival last November, and he rocked a navy Schiaparelli suit adorned with large gold buttons for SXSW several months prior. He also frequently reps Thom Browne in support of husband Matthew Foley’s executive role for the brand, wearing shorts and calf-grazing socks by the fashion designer at the 2021 Met Gala.

I could go on for days about Pace’s fashion sense, but for now, let’s get to the arms photos, shall we? Read ahead to check out Pace in Prada at the “Foundation” afterparty.
