Alexander Skarsgård wears transparent YSL oxfords on red carpet
Swedish actor wore enclosed transparent YSL oxfords at London Film Festival screening, continuing an unlikely 2026 footwear trend.
Skarsgård appeared at the premiere of his film Wicker in a gold metallic suit paired with transparent oxford-style shoes. The shoes are made from tinted vinyl and feature black laces.
The unusual design is part of YSL's Spring Summer 27 runway collection from July. The Thursday screening marked its first red carpet debut.
Social media comments show sheer horror at the thought of how foggy and sweaty these shoes could get. The trend of extreme footwear has expanded beyond women's fashion.
This marks a shift toward more theatrical shoe design across genders. Similar unusual shoes have appeared at recent Fashion Week events.
