Alexander Skarsgård sparks fashion debate with transparent shoes

Actor Alexander Skarsgård drew significant attention at the BFI London Film Festival premiere of his film ‘Wicker’ due to his unconventional fashion choices. The Swedish actor wore a gold Saint Laurent suit without a shirt, paired with transparent PVC Oxford shoes from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection.

The footwear, which leaves the feet fully visible, sparked a range of reactions on social media. While some praised his fearless approach to style, others expressed discomfort regarding the aesthetic and practical implications of wearing clear plastic shoes without socks.

Creative directors at Saint Laurent noted that the design, named ‘O. Fan’, was intended to challenge traditional masculine fashion norms and celebrate the visibility of feet, a concept described as a provocative response to modern digital obsessions.
