Alexander Skarsgård Brings Thigh-High Boots and Party Pants to Cannes 2025

• Alexander Skarsgård stood out among a sea of classic tuxes at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 19 in a whimsical twist on suiting.

• The Murderbot actor showed off a pair of electric blue sequined pants on the red carpet.

• The day before, Skarsgård turned heads in thigh-high black leather boots at The Phoenician Scheme premiere.

As the ladies of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival push fashion boundaries (and a strict new dress code) this year, Alexander Skarsgård is also getting in on the sartorial fun. Cementing himself as a menswear vanguard amidst a sea of classic tuxes, the True Blood alum revamped the tried-and-true tailored suit and dress shoes combination with whimsical additions on Sunday and Monday. Just hours after serving looks in thigh-high black leather boots, Skarsgård was in his disco style era while donning a pair of electric blue metallic pants on the red carpet.

Playing around with texture and color, the Zoolander actor attended the Eagles Of The Republic red carpet on May 19 wearing a pair of ‘70s-esque bright blue sequined slacks. He contrasted the playful energy of his shimmering pants with a tailored nod to spring 2025’s pattern of choice: a pinstriped slate gray wool blazer jacket from Magliano. A crisp white dress shirt and a petal pink satin bow tie added a spring twist to the groovy look. Skarsgård, who wore a pair of black patent leather dress shoes, styled his blonde hair in a classic brushed back style for the red carpet.

The Big Little Lies star’s party pants moment comes after another daring fashion experiment the day before. On May 18, Skarsgård turned heads at The Phoenician Scheme premiere wearing a dapper black Saint Laurent dinner jacket with a double-breasted design and wide lapels.

However, all eyes were on his footwear, as the actor pulled a Pedro Pascal with a pair of black leather thigh-high boots with a relaxed silhouette and buckles around his thighs—potentially a sartorial reference to his new BDSM film Pillion. The Murderbot actor tucked his black dress pants into the boots, and finished off his Cannes red carpet look with a classic white dress shirt and black tie.
