A24 /Courtesy Everett Collection Throughout the press tour, Alexander truly embraced the kinky wardrobe, and the fans are eating it up. If you remember back in May, during The Phoenician Scheme premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, he wore the over-the-knee leather Saint Laurent boots.

Andreas Rentz / Getty Images for ZFF Even while promoting his Apple TV+ series Murderbot on Lorraine earlier this year, he couldn't resist being playfully "sexy." Lorraine / Via youtu.be On Oct. 18 at the BFI London Film Festival, he wore a look from Ludovic de Saint Sernin's fall 2025 collection - a white, backless halterneck shirt with a leather tie. For his bottoms, he wore tight leather laced-up pants and Jimmy Choo boots.

Way back in 2016, at the MTV Movie Awards, he rocked this look, and there wasn't a single BDSM movie to promote in sight.
