"Oh, Alex is her client, he pays her for her job so he must like what she's doing. I'm sure he's wearing only those clothes that he likes and he feels comfortable in them."

Right, and he's picking from what she's already selected. But he's not fired her/found a new stylist so he's apparently fine with it. Which confuses me, because he really did usually dress better on the red carpet before she was hired last year. And he still usually has a better fitting casual wardrobe, that I'm presuming he selected (I'm ignoring that he'll wear his favorite items into the ground :p). He needs a stylist intervention!

^^ I don't know ... I think that he wears those things for some reasons and I'm sure that he gives her instructions what he would like to put on himself. Maybe he thinks that his look should be a little 'subdued'. He wants to be treated as a serious actor and beauty isn't an alliance in such a perception. His beauty (plus a few other things) was repeatedly cited by experts as something that could prevent him from getting Emmy.
He looks good but not dazzling and maybe that's the point.

So he's basically using the "Uglyfying for an Oscar" method for the red carpet to get better roles?!?!? That's definitely a new approach!
I hope it works for him because I can't look at one more picture of him with a pornstache. DoaTG, Uncle Terry shoot and now this should definitely help him being perceived as less pretty.

And what role did he play in Uncle Terry's shoot?
My post also goes for clothes. Or do you think a turtleneck and a blazer is modern? Do you think Dad clothes are stylish? Last time I saw loafers this often was at a private yacht club.

Let's be honest here Jeanne "Failed Clothing Line" Yang is screwing up his style. He dressed better when he didn't have a stylist. You can tell all he's wearing now is not him. It's supposed to represent an image but I'm not sure what image that is.

Also last time I checked this is still an Alexander Skarsgård thread, not an Alexander Skarsgård Appreciation thread. So I can complain about the moustache all day long.

I hate JY and her stupid style. She doesn't know what she is doing and Alex's people need to find him a better stylist. I wonder if hey have a minimum contract like a 3 year contract and that's why JY isn't going away.

I hope Alex doesn't adopt the uglyfying to get roles. I'm not here for that. He has proven he can do fantastic acting while looking pretty (see: Perry). One of my other faves is looking like hot buttered death these days and I can't have Alex trying to lose his pretty. Aaaaaand I hate the mustache but it's for a role so I'm just going to have to look at his body from the neck down for all the pics from today.

But then he does the TR/GQ Style Germany photoshoot, which for a variety of reasons conflicts with that goal, if that is indeed a goal.

The costume designer from BLL did a better job of dressing Alex as Perry than JY does dressing Alex. Style-wise, Perry looked great, clothes fit, etc.
Admittedly, fit can be an issue in terms of loaner clothes for events, for anyone, but Alex perhaps even more so because of his size, but surely something can be done on some occasions, especially if it's too baggy.

Chris Pine is another one who had a pretty good red carpet style until the last couple of years. And now he dresses like a 65 year old roaming the golf courses of Boca Raton or Palm Springs. No.

Like the horrendous fit for the gray IT premiere suit. I understand that Alex needs a lot of alterations for his height but seriously they should and need to be done every single time. JY cant just phone it in. Whats the point of wearing a high profile designer when he is going to look bad while wearing it. The premiere must have been on Alex's schedule for weeks if not months so JY comes across as ill prepared about her work.
