Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard became one of the most prominent figures on the red carpet at the premiere of the romantic fantasy Wicker in Los Angeles. According to Wave (RBC.UA), the 50-year-old artist deliberately chose an unconventional red carpet look for a male appearance, highlighting an unexpected combination of items and adding a detail referencing his co-star, Olivia Colman. The premiere took place on October 20 at the Directors Guild of America theater and gathered key project participants.
What Skarsgard's Look Entailed
For the red carpet, the actor wore a black fitted long-sleeve shirt adorned with an image of Olivia Colman framed by buttons. He paired the top with a plaid skirt by the brand Chopova Lowena; the belted model with safety pin-like details gave the silhouette a punk rock edge. The outfit was completed with black socks and classic shoes, resulting in a contrasting yet cohesive style.
Who Joined Him at the Premiere
On the red carpet, Skarsgard posed alongside Olivia Colman and Elizabeth Debicki, who also star in the film. Later, the actor's younger brother, Bill Skarsgard, joined the group. The joint appearance of the entire crew became one of the most discussed moments of the evening, further amplifying the premiere's media resonance.
What the Film Wicker Is About
At the center of the plot is a story unfolding in a medieval European village. A lonely woman, played by Olivia Colman, approaches a local basket weaver, portrayed by Peter Dinklage, with an unusual request: to create the perfect man for her. This is how Alexander Skarsgard's character—a man woven from wicker—comes to life. Feelings develop between the characters, but their atypical union sparks envy and discontent among the villagers.
Literary Origins of the Project
According to sources, the film Wicker is based on Ursula Wills-Jones' short story The Wicker Husband. The adaptation retains the original concept of the "woven" husband and translates it into a romantic fantasy format, which determined both the visual aesthetic of the film and the styling of its cast's red carpet appearance.
