With the GQ Men of the Year 2025 party dress code being ’90s Hollywood Red Carpet, what better opportunity could have come Patrick Schwarzenegger’s way to pay tribute to his legendary father? It would have been an insult to the legacy of iconic movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger if his son showed up as someone else. Much to everyone’s happiness, the 32-year-old actor seized the amazing opportunity. Patrick pulled up at the GQ red carpet looking as handsome as his star father in his iconic 1991 Terminator look.
Patrick Schwarzenegger recreates dad Arnold’s 1991 look
Rocking a sleek Terminator-inspired outfit that paid homage to his legendary dad, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Patrick Schwarzenegger was the talk of the GQ MOTY 2025 party. An instant hit among fans, netizens, and attendees couldn’t stop obsessing over the near-perfect revival of the classic look. He aced the cyborg assassin vibe, turning heads and sparking nostalgia among fans.
The White Lotus actor looked strikingly handsome at GQ’s MOTY 30 bash in a Tom Ford heavyweight leather biker jacket, leather trousers, Cuban heel boots, and Wayfarer shades. However, it was Daddy Schwarzenegger’s unmatched swagger, luckily inherited by Patrick, that brought the entire look together.
Patrick, however, added his own twist to his shout-out to his old man. He switched the Terminator’s gray cotton T-shirt for a matching leather crewneck. Junior Schwarzenegger also accessorized the look with a gleaming Santos de Cartier watch.
While interviewing Patrick on the red carpet, MOTY livestream’s co-hosts, How Long Gone’s Chris Black and Jason Stewart, had their own little fun with the Gen V actor. “I gotta ask you,” Black said, “what does one wear under a leather shirt?” starting with a fun question.
“Nothing, brother. I let it squeak all over”, Patrick replied, matching his humor.
Stewart then chimed in with a request, handing Schwarzenegger a notecard. He then jokingly asked, “Can you please read this In-N-Out order in your dad’s voice?”
“Absolutely not,” Schwarzenegger replied before bursting out laughing, indicating that not everything can be recreated.
