Long before anyone talked about artificial intelligence, Alicia Vikander gave us all the feels (and the fears) in 2014's Ex Machina. Since her star-turning role as the emotionally intelligent AI Ava, Vikander was cast as lead in Tomb Raider, won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in The Danish Girl, and has regularly taken our breath away with her easy and glamorous red carpet fashion.
Vikander was officially announced as a muse for Louis Vuitton in 2015, and has been steadily representing the French brand on red carpets and at events ever since. She's expressed how well designer Nicolas Ghesquière knows her style, telling WWD in 2023, "It's a bit of Nicolas' magic, in the sense that he knows what I like and what's 'me' before I do — which is incredible."
The Swedish actress has managed to carve out a style all her own, often downplaying the edginess Ghesquière has brought to Vuitton, wearing custom looks that emphasize soft lines, ruffles, and exposed shoulders.
The former ballerina knows what works and, over the years, has perfected a signature relaxed Scandi-elegant style, sticking to closely honed silhouettes, lace dresses, and neat, dancer-inspired buns and updos with minimal makeup. Regardless of the event, Vikander is always effortlessly chic on the red carpet, putting her best Louis Vuitton-clad foot forward.
Ahead, we've compiled Alicia Vikander's best red carpet moments to date.
