Notice a freaky menswear piece on the runway, and the chances are that Alexander Skarsgård and his stylist have already seen it, too.
The internet's favorite daddy has famously worn some boundary-pushing pieces on the red carpet throughout his career: we shan't ever forget his thigh-high Saint Laurent boots nor his sequin Dior going-out top earlier this year. Today, at the “Wicker” Screening at the 70th BFI London Film Festival in London, Skarsgård wore a gold suit by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent, with a freaky little twist.

On the runway, the gold suit was paired with a darker pair of transparent, PVC derbies, but here, Skarsgård gave the people exactly what they want: a glimpse of his infamous dogs in all their glory.
It's not the first time Skarsgård has shown off his piggies in such a public setting, either. Earlier this year, he wore a pair of Valentino Rockstud flip flops to a screening at Sundance Film Festival—in January, no less—and who could forget his barefoot moment on the airport tarmac in Succession?
The shoes feel even more fitting if you consider the context of his appearance: his new film, "Wicker" follows a medieval comedy/fantasy (?) in which he plays a wicker man who is created to fill a lonely void inside Olivia Colman. Prepare yourself for more wild looks on the upcoming press tour.
