Alexander Skarsgård draws attention with transparent Saint Laurent shoes

Actor Alexander Skarsgård drew significant attention at the BFI London Film Festival while attending a screening of his film, ‘Wicker’. The Swedish star wore a metallic gold Saint Laurent suit without a shirt, paired with transparent PVC lace-up Oxford shoes from the brand’s Spring 2027 men’s collection.

The shoes, named ‘O. Fan.’ by designer Corrado De Biase, are reportedly a playful reference to the subscription platform OnlyFans. The design was intended as a joke regarding why men are often hesitant to show their feet.

While the avant-garde look sparked discussion online, reactions were mixed. Some praised the aesthetic, while others raised practical concerns regarding comfort, sweat, and condensation. Skarsgård noted in interviews that he enjoys using red carpet events as an opportunity to experiment with bold and original fashion, contrasting with his more practical daily wardrobe.
