Alexander Skarsgård has once again proven his place on Vogue’s best-dressed list with his bold and daring fashion choices. While promoting The Moment alongside Charli XCX, Skarsgård made a statement at the Sundance Film Festival by wearing a completely unexpected yet undeniably sexy shoe choice from Valentino’s pre-fall 2026 collection. Despite the snowy backdrop, Skarsgård confidently sported studded thong-style flip-flops, paired with an oversized beige trench coat and pleated suit trousers.
This is not the first time Skarsgård has pushed the boundaries of fashion. While promoting his BDSM biker movie, Pillion, he embraced a leather daddy aesthetic with a full look from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s fall 2025 collection. At the BFI London Film Festival, he rocked a white backless halterneck shirt, tight leather pants, and chunky Jimmy Choo boots. His Cannes Film Festival look included kinky boots and a graphic vintage t-shirt, showcasing his playful and provocative style.
Skarsgård’s stylist, Harry Lambert, has helped him embrace his more daring side, with looks that challenge traditional red carpet norms. From cheeky short-shorts on British daytime television to leather ensembles at prestigious film festivals, Skarsgård’s fashion choices always keep us guessing and wanting more.
In The Moment, a meta pop girl mockumentary directed by Aidan Zamiri and featuring Charli XCX, Skarsgård plays the role of a haughty director who just about misses the mark. His commitment to his character and his fashion choices is unwavering, solidifying his status as a true fashion icon.
Alexander Skarsgård’s fearless approach to fashion sets him apart as a true trendsetter in the industry. Whether he’s strutting down the red carpet in unconventional footwear or embracing leather and lace on the big screen, Skarsgård will always be the moment.
