Oh, to be a Dogue, posing next to Jacob Elordi—and getting treats to stay put. Yesterday in London, Elordi hit the world premiere of Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars with his canine co-star, Rak Jasper. The actor was happy to let Rak shine, offering him a few cues (heel, stay, sit!) so he nailed the perfect photo-op moment.
Elordi went with Bottega Veneta for the occasion, wearing a navy double-breasted suit with soft pinstripes, sharp lapels, and matching tailored pants. He paired it with a white shirt and a slim navy tie, finished off with diamond stud earrings. His mini-mullet was curly and tousled, and he’s been growing back his mustache, which is coming along nicely.

Rak and Elordi were joined by the rest of the Dog Stars cast. Margaret Qualley, for one, braved the quirky barefoot sandals that designer Matthieu Blazy unveiled in his resort 2027 collection for Chanel in Biarritz, France. She paired them with a classic black dress with delicate fringe. Dogs were out—both figuratively and literally.

Off the red carpet, Elordi has been soaking up time in London with rumored girlfriend Kendall Jenner. The pair were spotted grabbing a midweek dinner with Jacob’s dad at Cipriani, a celebrity favorite Italian spot. Both kept things low-key, mirroring each other in elevated basics. Since Elordi and Jenner are known for keeping their private lives under wraps, don’t expect a red carpet moment from them anytime soon.
One thing’s certain: Rak is already on our radar for Dogue 2027.
