Boldly redefining red carpet fashion, the duo even recreated Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet’s viral Chrome Hearts couple look

You can always trust Hacks co-stars Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter to turn a red carpet appearance into a viral moment. The duo, who play Hollywood agent Jimmy LuSaque and his nepo-baby assistant Kayla Schaeffer, are beloved by fans of the Emmy-winning HBO show for their comedic chemistry.

At the American Music Awards on May 25, just days before the Hacks’ finale aired, Stalter and Downs arrived on the red carpet wearing looks that raised eyebrows. Stalter took naked dressing to the next level, wearing only a long black wig that covered her otherwise bare chest. She paired the look with low-rise jeans. Downs accompanied her wearing a fitted black tee, light-wash jeans and sunglasses.

Keeping the bit going, Downs even took out a bedazzled hairbrush and combed Stalter’s hair top as the pair prepared to pose on the red carpet. The two wore belt buckles of each other’s faces, and when asked by Variety if they were cosplaying any specific Hollywood couples, Stalter replied, “These are our everyday looks – who are we cosplaying as? Two hot models?”

While Hacks may have come to an end – the finale for its fifth and final season aired on May 28 – here’s a look back at some of Stalter and Downs best red carpet looks.
