Jacob Elordi found a fun way to connect his red carpet appearance with his upcoming film The Dog Stars. The actor arrived at the movie’s world premiere in London with a real dog by his side. Instead of simply choosing an outfit inspired by the film, Elordi brought one of his four legged co stars to the red carpet, creating one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
The Oscar nominated actor was photographed posing alongside Rak Jasper, a Belgian Malinois who appears in the film. Rak Jasper is one of three dogs featured in The Dog Stars and plays an important role in the story. The well trained dog calmly stood beside Elordi while photographers captured the unusual red carpet moment.

Elordi’s appearance was especially interesting because his co star Margaret Qualley had also connected her premiere look to the movie’s survival theme. While Qualley embraced the idea through her unusual fashion choice, Elordi took a much more literal approach by bringing an actual dog from the film.
For the London premiere, Elordi chose a classic and polished outfit. He wore a navy pinstripe double breasted suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie. He completed the look with black patent leather loafers, giving him a stylish old Hollywood appearance. The actor also added small silver hoop earrings, which gave the traditional outfit a more modern touch.
Elordi’s mullet hairstyle and moustache were also clearly visible. The look has become part of his recent public appearances and has attracted plenty of attention during his ongoing promotions for his upcoming projects.
The Dog Stars is based on Peter Heller’s 2012 novel of the same name. The story is set in a post apocalyptic world after an influenza pandemic wipes out most of the human population. The film follows Hig, played by Elordi, as he tries to survive in an abandoned airport with his dog and another survivor named Bangley.
The dog in the story is named Jasper, making Rak Jasper’s appearance at the premiere even more fitting. The connection between the actor and the canine star gave the film’s promotional event a fun and emotional touch.
While red carpets are usually filled with glamorous outfits and carefully planned poses, Elordi’s decision to arrive with a dog made his appearance stand out. It was a simple but clever way to celebrate the film and highlight one of its important characters.
With Elordi looking stylish and Rak Jasper calmly posing beside him, The Dog Stars premiere delivered an unforgettable red carpet moment that perfectly matched the film’s story.
