Alexander Skarsgård put on a show — a peep show, that is — at the Wicker screening in London with his red carpet look, showing a body part that fans weren’t expecting, and it has the internet divided.
The theme for the night was skin for Skarsgård. On Thursday, he arrived at the 70th BFI London Film Festival at BFI Southbank, rocking a shiny Saint Laurent gold suit with no shirt underneath. But it was his shoe choice that really had people talking.
The 50-year-old Swedish actor paired his metallic ensemble with a pair of transparent Saint Laurent vinyl oxfords, leaving his feet on full display. Now, if he wore these in California, it might not have been the best option, because vinyl traps moisture, including sweat, against the skin. Luckily, London weather is typically mild, so Skarsgård chose the perfect location to cause a foot frenzy.
As soon as images of his feet hit the internet, people could not hold back their opinions. The reactions were mixed, with some exclaiming they “love it,” while others found it “weird.” Unfortunately, most of the responses were similar to this one: “This might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
“I can smell them from here,” wrote another commentator on X, while this person refused to hide their revulsion: “OMG, that’s disgusting!”

Skarsgård’s controversial footwear almost seemed fitting for the film he’s promoting, because the style is almost as unconventional as the plot of Wicker. Skarsgård stars alongside Olivia Colman and Peter Dinklage in this quirky, darkly comedic fantasy romance.
The film follows a lonely, ridiculed fisherwoman (Colman) who, fed up with being judged by her small-minded village, commissions a local basket maker (Dinklage) to create her the perfect husband…literally out of wicker. But when her handsome, devoted new husband (Skarsgård) turns out to be everything she could have dreamed of and more, their offbeat relationship sparks jealousy, outrage, and chaos throughout the village.
Well, whether you hate the shoes or love them, they got the people talking, which is exactly the type of attention you want to build for an upcoming film.
Wicker is set to premiere in the United States on October 23.
