Alexander Skarsgård took to the red carpet for the premiere of his new film "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" on Monday night in San Francisco dressed in drag. And he fully committed.
The 38-year-old actor wore a bright gold '70s-inspired sequin gown with spaghetti straps and a cinched waist. He paired the glam frock with a silver clutch and a blond wig so voluminous even Dolly Parton would be jealous.
The former "True Blood" star also wore a full face of makeup, complete with false lashes and expertly contoured cheekbones. He posed for some photos with his co-star Bel Powley, executive producer Jorma Taccone and director Marielle Heller.
The "Battleship" star once dressed in drag before for his role as Geert in the 2006 film "Kill Your Darlings," though Monday's look was much more glamorous.
According to E! and Us Weekly, Skarsgård didn't provide a reason for his outfit choice, but both sites noted it may have been a nod to the actor's co-star Joshua Grannell (a drag performer who goes by Peaches Christ), who plays a crossdresser in the film.
Vanity Fair mentioned that he was dressed in drag because the Castro District in San Francisco, where Peaches Christ is a well-known performer, held a drag show party before the film premiered. Skarsgård simply chose to stay in his outfit following the party.
And we must say, he rocked the sh*t out of those sequins.
