Brian Cox’s Kilt Wardrobe Malfunction at TIFF 2025

Brian Cox showed a little more than he bargained for at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival. 

The Succession alum had an NSFW wardrobe malfunction while sporting a kilt to the premiere of his directorial debut Glenrothan on Sept. 11. 

For the outing, Cox walked the red carpet in black tartan Scottish pleated skirt with a matching blazer and a vest. To top off his ensemble, he rocked brown-lensed sunglasses and a pair of knee-high boots. 

And his fashion statement was turning heads for all the right reasons until he stepped on stage for the Q&A portion of the film’s premiere, during which Cox accidentally showed off his—er—precious jewels while sitting in front of the crowd with his legs wide.

When the racy blunder was called out by an audience member, the 79-year-old quipped to the crowd, per The Hollywood Reporter, “Is it that bad? Or that good?”
