Lambert, renowned for crafting stylish looks for the likes of Harry Styles, Jacob Elordi, Emma Corrin, and Josh O’Connor, is celebrated for his sharply tailored designs punctuated with unconventional details.
A24’s provocative arthouse film Pillion centers on Ray (portrayed by Skarsgård), the alluring leader of a motorcycle gang who plunges the timid Colin (Harry Melling) into a submissive dynamic. What can viewers anticipate? Elements such as Prince Albert piercings (handled by a prosthetic!), unclothed grappling, and immense sexual tension and release.
In an interview with Variety on the red carpet, the actor remarked: “When I viewed this on screen, I was reminded of [Al Pacino’s] Cruising, depicting a dark, dangerous New York City. Leather-clad individuals can be intimidating. While I’m not Ray, I have some familiarity with that world and understand it’s not entirely accurately represented.”
“In this instance, my background isn’t of utmost importance,” Skarsgård explained. “Sure, I have a child, but my past, whether it involves men or women… what truly mattered to me was the chance to narrate a story about a subculture, which I felt had not been depicted with such authenticity before.”
