Alexander Skarsgård has once again grabbed attention with his bold fashion choices, as his clear shoes became the main talking point at the “Wicker” premiere.

Fans fixated on Alexander Skarsgård’s transparent footwear during the movie’s London premiere
According to Page Six, Alexander Skarsgård wore a striking all-gold Saint Laurent suit without a shirt underneath for the London premiere. He paired the outfit with completely transparent plastic shoes from the luxury fashion house. While his gilded look was already eye-catching, the see-through footwear stole the spotlight.
The clear shoes first attracted attention when they debuted on the runway in June. Skarsgård became the first man to wear the unusual design, putting his toes on full display. His latest appearance has now reignited the conversation about unconventional footwear.

Fans had mixed reactions to the look. Some defended the actor’s fearless approach to fashion, with one admirer saying he could pull off anything. Others were less impressed, with one commenter writing, “New ick unlocked.” Former Summer House star Paige DeSorbo also weighed in, saying, “We must draw the line somewhere.”
Several fans suggested that Skarsgård enjoys provoking reactions with his outfits. Others joked about the possibility of sweat and condensation building up inside the plastic shoes. One commenter quipped that their own toes would be impossible to see through the steamy footwear.
The actor’s fashion choices have frequently pushed boundaries. While promoting “Pillion,” he embraced leather outfits, short shorts, and sequined tops. He also wore thigh-high leather boots in 2025, continuing his reputation for experimental menswear.
At the “Wicker” premiere, Skarsgård’s co-stars Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman opted for black outfits, offering a contrast to his golden ensemble. Colman even appeared amused by his unusual shoes on the red carpet.
In his latest film, Skarsgård plays a magical man made of wicker who comes to life at the request of a lonely fisherwoman, played by Colman. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on October 23.
