On Saturday at the BFI London Film Festival, the Swedish actor pulled on a fit that highlighted the untapped and under-utilised potential of the shoulder. Wearing a look by French designer Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Skarsg\u00e5rd wore a halterneck-style shirt (for dudes who have never tangled with such a term, that means the shirt goes up into a single strap that loops around the neck) with a tie. On the bottom were a pair of leather trousers<\/a> with a lace fly and Jimmy Choo boots.<\/p>\n Kate Green\/Getty Images<\/p>\n Kate Green\/Getty Images<\/p>\n The whole thing is very much in the lane of Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s Pillion press tour; it’s about BDSM and a gay relationship in a biker gang. His stylist, Harry Lambert, has been putting together fits to nod to that. Some are more subtle (a Saint Laurent thigh-high black leather boot<\/a> at Cannes). Some are more overt (a vintage Jerks tee<\/a> of a mustachioed man licking a boot). Others, like this one, are just plain sexy.<\/p>\n Sure, we could wax lyrical about the overt BDSM references. But what we really want to talk about are those shoulders. It\u2019s a little unconventional, yeah, but a halterneck is the perfect piece to showcase one of our least appreciated muscles groups. And Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s not alone. Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet famously wore one in Venice in 2022, courtesy of Haider Ackermann<\/a>. Harry Styles donned a sheer blouse to the same effect<\/a> at the 2019 Met Gala.<\/p>\n It\u2019s one small step for Skarsg\u00e5rd, one giant leap for guys who bench press.<\/p>\n![\"Alexander](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2241860071.jpeg\"\/)
