Over at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month, we got Skarsgard in a head-scratching, Valentino leopard-print coat that would’ve made “Big Ang” blush. The Fashion Times UK called the piece “the collection’s loudest piece of outerwear.” Umm, yeah, I’ll say.
And as if the coat weren’t mob wife enough, popping out the bottom was a pair of bright fuchsia track pants. (To be fair, this was the exact styling Valentino included in its Resort 2027 collection lookbook, but that doesn’t make it any less cringey.) Someone needs to hit the brakes on these choices.
Now, Skarsgard is one to toe the line when it comes to bold looks—and in the past I’ve been a semi-fan. I wasn’t mad when he wore cleavage-baring tops during press events for his queer film Pillion. But they felt in line with a movie that was about bikers, kink and BDSM.
