If Alexander Skarsgard Could Look Like Any Woman, This Is Who It Would Be

When Alexander Skarsgard attended the San Francisco premiere for The Diary of a Teenage Girl last August, his handsome looks had jaws on the floor for a different reason than usual: he walked the red carpet in a glittery gold dress and a voluminous blond wig. When the Legend of Tarzan actor sat down with Conan O'Brien on Tuesday night, he finally revealed why he chose that particular look for the premiere. "The first AD on that movie is Cousin Wonderlette, a legendary drag queen in San Francisco," he told Conan. "She was hosting [the premiere] with all her drag queen friends, and there was just something about the excitement about getting ready for the premiere as I was sitting there with my gray suit. They were talking about their wigs and their dresses and everything and I felt left out. So I asked Cousin, 'Can I play? Can I be a part of this?'"

Cousin happily obliged and helped Alexander achieve his look, which he said was totally inspired by a vintage Farrah Fawcett photo. Although the actor stuck with a standard suit for the LA premiere of Tarzan earlier this week, his fierce red carpet moment last year wasn't the only time he's taken a wardrobe risk. In April, he walked on stage at the MTV Movie Awards without wearing any pants, and in January 2014 he posed for a photo while sitting completely naked on a toilet in Antarctica (yes, really).
