"Pillion" Actor Alexander Skarsgård Rocks Red Nails at the 2025 Governors Awards
Gender neutral fashion has become more relevant than ever. While women gradually embraced the "power suit" style, men also accepted that the color pink was not reserved only for the "ladies' club". Now, giving an unconventional twist to gender-fluid fashion, comes Alexander Skarsgård - with painted nails.
Alexander Skarsgård's red nail polish served as a contrast to his black Saint Laurent tuxedo.
On Sunday, the Swedish-born actor attended the 2025 Governors Awards, also known as the Honorary Oscars. This ceremony takes place a few months before the Oscars. This year, legendary Hollywood figures, including Dolly Parton, Tom Cruise, Debbie Allen and Vin Thomas, were honored for their unparalleled contributions to the film industry.
Alexander Skarsgård appeared at the glittering ceremony in a Yves Saint Laurent suit. However, it was his freshly painted, bright red nails that caught all the attention. It is safe to say that the 49-year-old actor broke stereotypes with his striking "nail art", further erasing gender boundaries.
Likes to experiment
While some men are known to wear black nail polish as part of an edgy, grunge or rock-inspired style, Alexander Skarsgård's flame red nails certainly made a stronger and bolder impression.

Alexander Skarsgård remains completely fearless when it comes to fashion experiments. Last month, the actor walked the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival in another striking outing. He drew on a Ludovico de Saint Sernin creation from the designer's Fall 2025 collection. The outfit consisted of a white, open backless halter shirt, paired with a skinny leather tie. Alexander teamed it all up with skinny leather lace-up trousers and chunky Jimmy Choo round-toe boots.
