Alexander Skarsgård Wears Gold Suit at Wicker Screening

Alexander Skarsgård drew attention at the London screening of his upcoming film Wicker on Oct. 8, 2026, where the actor appeared in a gold Saint Laurent suit and transparent elongated-toe shoes that triggered widespread online reactions over the bold footwear choice.

According to Yahoo, Skarsgård wore the metallic suit without a shirt and paired it with Saint Laurent lucite derby shoes that exposed his feet. His Wicker co-stars Peter Dinklage, Elizabeth Debicki and Olivia Colman attended in simpler all-black outfits.

The shoes had already generated discussion after appearing at Saint Laurent's spring/summer 2027 menswear show in June. Social media users debated the clear design before Skarsgård wore the footwear on the red carpet.

One Instagram user commented on Saint Laurent's shoe post, "They must look fancy with all the sweat and condensation."

Another Instagram user wrote, "I'm calling the police."

After Skarsgård's appearance, similar reactions followed on social media platforms, with users commenting on the actor's decision to wear the exposed-foot style at a major film event.

An Instagram user commented on a GQ post featuring Skarsgård's look, "Men's feet should be illegal."

An Instagram user wrote, "No socks is crazy."

An Instagram user added, "Just looking at those shoes is making my feet sweaty."

The online response was not entirely negative, as some commenters praised the actor's fashion choice and the overall outfit.

An Instagram user commented, "Rock out Alex."

An Instagram user added, "Because it's him, I'll allow it."

An Instagram user also praised the clothing, writing, "I love his suit."

The exposed-foot trend has also appeared at other entertainment events. According to Yahoo, Margaret Qualley wore Chanel footwear that revealed her feet at the London premiere of The Dog Stars in August.

An Instagram user reacted to Qualley's look, writing, "Ten toes down for this look."

Another Instagram user commented on the same style, "I hate it, but I respect."

The Wicker screening took place during the 70th BFI London Film Festival at BFI Southbank in London, where the film's cast gathered ahead of its cinema release.
