Notice a freaky menswear piece on the runway, and the chances are that Alexander Skarsgård and his stylist have already seen it, too. The internet's favorite daddy has famously worn some boundary-pushing pieces on the red carpet throughout his career: we shan't ever forget his thigh-high Saint Laurent boots nor his sequin Dior going-out top earlier this year.
Today, at the “Wicker” Screening at the 70th BFI London Film Festival in London, Skarsgård wore a gold suit by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent , with a freaky little twist.
On his feet, the actor wore a pair of shoes from the brand's Spring/Summer 2027 menswear collection. On the runway, the gold suit was paired with a darker pair of transparent, PVC derbies, but here, Skarsgård gave the people exactly what they want: a glimpse of his infamous dogs in all their glory.
It's not the first time Skarsgård has shown off his piggies in such a public setting, either. Earlier this year, he wore a pair of Valentino Rockstud flip flops to a screening at Sundance Film Festival—in January, no less—and who could forget his barefoot moment on the airport tarmac in Succession ?
The shoes feel even more fitting if you consider the context of his appearance: his new film, "Wicker" follows a medieval comedy/fantasy (?) in which he plays a wicker man who is created to fill a lonely void inside Olivia Colman. Prepare yourself for more wild looks on the upcoming press tour.
