Alexander Skarsgård is having the time of his life on the ‘Wicker’ Press Tour – Here are 5 of his best looks
By Evie Atkins
Although Wicker has been one of this autumn’s highly anticipated releases, the best thing about the film itself might just be Alexander Skarsgård’s wonderfully wacky wardrobe. From ‘Lick My Worm’ T-shirts, to gold-drenched suits, the internet’s newest willow-made husband knows exactly what he is doing.
Starring Olivia Coleman and Skarsgård, Wicker (2026) follows an ostracised fisherwoman who commissions the town’s local basketmaker – played by Peter Dinklage, to weave her a husband. As their seemingly effortless love begins to take root in the village, the couple quietly become the subject of jealousy among the townswomen, eventually threatening their unconventional happiness.
From Josh O’Connor embracing ‘Grandad Chic’ to Harry Styles fronting a Gucci gown on the cover of Vogue, experimental menswear is having a moment. Much of the credit goes to British stylist Harry Lambert, known for dressing some of the biggest names in music and film in unapologetically unconventional looks.
As Lambert’s latest leading man, Skarsgård feels like a natural addition to his style catalog. But while we ‘pine over’ the Wicker Husband, could his press-tour wardrobe be the real romance we should be turning our heads at? We round up five of his best looks from the Wicker press tour…
1. London Premiere: YSL custom suit
What a ‘feet’! Starting as we mean to go on, we’re kicking this list off strong with a custom YSL gold-drenched suit and barely-there loafers. The takeaway? Subtlety is entirely optional, but never a compromise on exceptional tailoring. The footwear though… Well, where exactly are the shoes?
2. ‘Lick My Worm’ & ‘I’m With Stupid’ Graphic tees by Flora Miles & Jerks Store
I’m going to need to find out where he’s getting his baby tees from. Sitting alongside Olivia Coleman – an Academy Award-winning actor – in a custom ‘I’M WITH STUPID’ Jerks Store tee is certainly one way to steal the spotlight. And then there’s the ‘LICK MY WORM’ custom Flora Miles tee? We’ve truly seen it all!
3. LA Premiere: Custom Chopova Lowena
Forget the film’s ‘marital collar’; this is how you wear your heart on your sleeve. Or should we say, your Olivia Coleman on your chest? This custom Chopova Lowena look brings together both the brand’s unmistakable aesthetic and Skarsgård’s own subversive, playful energy, with clashing prints and textures doing the talking. Sometimes, the best statement piece is the co-star you slap on a shirt.
4. Maison Valentino – Paris Fashion Week
We’re never quite sure what season he’s dressing for and, frankly, do we need to be? Grape-coloured trackies paired with a full-length leopard trench coat: it’s as though Skarsgård exists somewhere between the aesthetic of a university student and a 1970s rockstar, yet somehow always gets it right.
5. The Graham Norton Show JW Anderson vine jumper
One of the more understated looks of his press tour, Scarsgård gives us a glimpse of his soft boy side with this look. A full-blown garden party on the famous orange sofa as he raids ‘Grandad’s wardrobe’ with a vine-covered twist. A little botanical and, of course, a little bizarre.
Harry Lambert, it is a gift you give to us all.
