Alexander Skarsgård may appear like a Viking, but he also looks pretty good in a dress!
The former 'True Blood' star recently showed up for the premiere of his film 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl' with a large blonde wig and a gold dress. Alexander Skarsgård was also wearing huge hoop earrings and held a tiny silver clutch.
Alexander Skarsgård wasn't the only one all dressed up for the premiere. His young costar Bel Powley and director Marielle Heller were also glammed out in typical '70s fashion for 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl' premiere in San Francisco on Wednesday.
There was no doubt that Alexander Skarsgård looked magnificent in a dress, but fans wanted to know why he went to the premiere in drag. The actor recently spoke to BuzzFeed, where he explained why he was transformed into a golden goddess.
Skarsgård revealed that most of the film's crew members were drag queens. "Our first AD was Cousin Wonderlette," he said. "The casting director for the extras was Lady Bear, who is a legendary drag queen in San Francisco; and we had Peaches Christ."
The drag queen party was Marielle Heller's idea.
"Mari wanted them to host the screening at the Castro and do a number from The Rocky Horror Picture Show before and do a big fun drag queen after-party," Skarsgård continued. "And I just felt, I asked, I didn't want to be excluded from the fun. So I asked if there was any way I could come in drag, and they were nice enough to say yes."

The rest is of course, history. But who was responsible for making Alexander Skarsgård perfect for the night?
"Mercedez Munro was the drag queen who did all my makeup," he said. "So I now have a drag queen mother."
Alexander Skarsgård seems to enjoy his newly discovered persona. When told by BuzzFeed that his drag queen name Lady Libido Lushbody was "a lot of name," he had the perfect response: "I'm a lot of woman."
'The Diary of a Teenage Girl' will be released on August 7.
