Whether he’s wearing fashion’s favorite kilt or pairing a gold suit with transparent Oxford shoes, Alexander Skarsgård always delivers on the red carpet. And his latest look was no exception.
Yesterday, the Swedish actor showed up to the Directors Guild of America (DGA) theater for the all-day Deadline Contenders Film event—an awards-season program that spotlighted the cast and crew of 15 major films from the past year. Skarsgård was there to promote his most recent project, Wicker, sitting down for a panel discussion with co-writers and co-directors Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston, and prosthetic makeup designer Joe Dunckley. And while his fellow creatives kept things simple with jeans and neutral palettes, he stood out in a bright, colorful ensemble.
On top, the look featured a mint-green JW Anderson rugby shirt, designed with a white collar and elongated placket. The cozy oversize polo was embroidered with the word “Baby” in satin, in a font inspired by pieces of text found in vintage magazines.
Skarsgård’s hot-pink shorts, from the same label, were crafted in collaboration with Humphries Weaving. Founded in 1972 in Sudbury, England, the company has become known for its bespoke silk fabrics, which are woven using historically-accurate techniques and often adorn the interiors of stately and royal residences. Here, in partnership with creative director Jonathan Anderson, Humphries developed a 100% silk damask with dotted-line motifs.
The True Blood actor finished things off with black socks and matching loafers.
Wicker, in which Skarsgård played a man literally made of wicker, made its theatrical release last month.
