For years, I thought Louis Vuitton was doing Alicia Vikander dirty with the dresses she was given for her major red carpets. There were a few gowns which were good, to be fair, but there were too many weird milkmaid/beer maiden ensembles which looked costumey and strange. While Alicia has a great figure, she’s not some tall, model-type clothes hanger – she needs to be given the right clothes for her petite proportions, and she’s not some Cate Blanchett-esque type who can make any look “work.”
That being said, Louis Vuitton seems to be doing better by Alicia lately. While I disliked her Golden Globes gown (too prim) and I didn’t care for her Franciscan monk look in brown, I actually really liked her gown at the London premiere of Tomb Raider. And now this LV look at the LA premiere last night… I don’t hate this? I mean, I think the fit could be better – her boobs are being scrunched up to a ridiculous level – but this is okay? LV seems to want Alicia in bronzes, yellows, coppers and browns, right? That must be their “Vikander palette.” My only complaint here is that after doing too many red carpets looking like she’s not wearing ANY makeup, Vikander’s makeup here looks slightly clownish and a bit too heavy, especially with that dark lipstick.
Also: Kate Bosworth was at the premiere with her husband Michael Polish. Hey, Bos. Oh, and bonus Walton Goggins, who is the villain in Tomb Raider.

She looks nice. I’m still debating whether to see the reboot or not, but it looks like a lot of fun.
I don’t like it, and the bust looks a bit tight, imo. Still, it’s better than 99.9% of the schmattes they trot her out in. I’ll see the reboot, it might be fun.
Och….boob squashing
Yup, hate the dress. Awesome to see Walton! And I want to slap the Bos in her smashed back bun looking face. Damn, she bugs.
While I don’t have the urge to slap her face I *am* over her damn slicked-back, too-tight bun. She sports this look all. the. time. Move on and try something else. Please!
Alicia looks lovely. I won’t be seeing this in the theater, but I’ll definitely watch it when it comes out on-demand.
What the hell is Kate Bosworth doing these days? I feel like she hasn’t done anything since Blue Crush over a decade ago but somehow she’s still around…
She gave a really touching performance as Julianne Moore’s daughter in Still Alice.
I only knew her from red carpets and Orlando Bloom so didn’t expect to be moved by her presence. She should definitely work more.
‘Life Happens’ is a pretty easy-to-watch rainy sunday netflix type movie but nothing to write home about. Her role in ‘Still Alice’ was excellent. But I was kinda thinking the same thing, what the helen of troy is she doing here? like, why? I don’t get it. Was she in it? Was her hubby Michael Polish in involved somehow? Did he write/direct any of it?
Can she please do some more acting? she is good but she just seems to have decided that’s not necessary & become a red carpet circuit queen..
I know and it annoys me. She hasn’t been in a movie or show in over a decade yet she still gets magazine covers, makeup contracts and front row seats at fashion weeks. Meanwhile actresses of color are working hard and barely get the opportunities that are thrown at people like bosworth.
She has really sleepy eyes. And she really needs to try and develop a bit more charisma if she wants to carry films as the lead actress.
I’ve been saying that for a while now! She looks lovely to me, but she’s so flat. No charisma.
I agree. She suffers from Hillary Swank syndrome, nice looking, good actress, no presence.
you cant ‘develop’ charisma you either have it or you don’t.
Charisma is a personality trait – you can’t fake it or invent it over night.
She always looks exhausted in her facial expressions to me. It’s nap inducing. Kind of the way yawns are contagious, I get tired just looking at her photos sometimes.
I like Alicia in all her movies I’ve seen. Testament of Youth, exMachina, Man from Uncle, Light Between Oceans. She looks beautiful in this dress imo.
I really like this look, even the exaggerated makeup. It’s nice to mix things up once in a while.
From what I can see the makeup consists of a simple cat eye and a dark lip colour. I don’t think it’s too much but Kaiser too mentions the heavy (clownish) makeup. You guys… that up there is my go-to make up for big occasions in the winter time XD I need to know if that’s generally considered too much!!!
I actually think that on someone else this would just look like normal level makeup. Vikander seems to be one of those people who suits minimal makeup and can’t carry heavy makeup – I am like that too. That’s probably why she normally does a “natural” look makeup-wise.
Alicia looks good I would kill for her body there is something I’ve been thinking about is that she looks good tanned and I’ve been thinking my skin easily gets that shades because I’m of Pakistani descent yet I look worse when my skin gets tanned. Meanwhile I’ve seen Alicia with light skin and she doesn’t look good
Can I just say? I saw The Danish Girl a couple days ago (a bit late, I know) and, quite frankly, I think she deserved that Oscar. She does look lovely here.
You have to see all performances for that category to get a real impression.
Plus it was category fraud. She should’ve been in the lead not supporting category. I think she actually deserved it for ex machina but the academy would never seriously consider a weird sci-fi film for the major awards.
Hmmm….I think she looks like the wallpaper in a restroom of some dark and overly pretentious bar.
But, I did not that Walton Goggins is the villain. For him, I would see this movie.
Walter Goggins is frigging awesome!
ONLY HERE FOR WALTON
I would pay to watch Walton Goggins read from the phone book. He has such presence.
He’s the reason I want to see it too. He is an incredibly talented actor and i’m ha For him getting bigger roles. His work on the Shield and Justified blew me away.
Ugh hate this dress. It looks like something from cw’s reign. What’s going on at LV??
agree,. she is beautiful, but ugly dress. Kate is beautiful too, and I her dress is just ok.
I like Kate’s black dress better.
The dress is horrible but she’s very pretty, love her lip colour and hair.
I loved the movie light between oceans, it was perfection for me.
I am going to say nice things only about Alicia Vikander. I hate the dress and her make up and for the love of God will she lay off the spray tan…
Now the good things, Alicia Vikander s a pretty girl but lack charisma. However, I would love to see dressing like Audrey Hepburn. She has a waif look about her, so she can dress subtle and sweet with nice flare skirts and pretty blouses. There are beautiful gowns from many designers like chanel, Dior and Givenchy (R.I.P Hubert de Givenchy). Why oh why wouldn’t you cut ties with that crap Louis Vuitton?
She gets the paycheque that’s why to promote LV. The other ones don’t particularly fancy her promoting their products. She needs flared dresses, ruffles and belts because she doesn’t have hips at all and her back is pretty flat so she has to distract from that. Otherwise she is cute.
That dress is horrible. Just horrible . Princess meats pageant queen. I do like the dark lipstick though.
Other than the fit in the chest, I love everything about that dress. Her hair, though….sloppy looking.
Also, that lipstick color is garish on her.
I’ve watched the videos (on the DM) of her red carpets for this film and it freaks me out what she’s doing with her arms and the way she’s posing. There’s something really off in waving, swinging her arms that way, is almost disturbing and very annoying. What’s up with her? she’s looks very uncomfortable and unnatural, a forced posing that makes her looks like she’s trying too hard….she used to be so different. I want the old Alicia back, I feel that this film will be very bad for her and her career. The pressure from the powers to be to this movie to perform is all on her shoulders and sadly I feel this film will bomb. she was terribly miscast.
She’s feeling the pressure. When you get to that level, you have to be pretty tough to handle it.
She had an electrifying in the man from UNCLE. I do feel she is miscast as Lara Croft tho. Jolie radiated danger… The was super fit then and you could feel she would be intimidating and could kick was. Vikander looks too waifish and radiates vulnerability. And in stills, she radiates sleepiness.
This is completely wrong for her body type. Her people need to stop with these girly/romantic nonsense and put her in clothes that actually fit her body and don’t put her in constant danger of nipple exposure. They also should probably rethink the movies. Boy is she miscast as Lara Croft!
Stunning girl, amazing body, thinking she just lasts some confidence or doesn’t really care to be in the spotlight!? Still think she could do better than Fassbender, he’s aging now and gives off a controlling vibe. Hope she’s happy.
I don’t like her dress and I don’t like Kate’s dress.
I am really rooting for her and Fassbender because lately their movies haven’t really did much in the way of entertainment, even though I loved Assassin’s Creed and Alien: Covenant. But she is totally not right for this role. It is no way it will even make a dent with the other movies that are out and coming out, but hopefully she can recover. And the movie with James McAvoy, I can’t because all I think about is how could she do a love movie with Professor X and she’s married to Magneto. lol, but I wish them the best.
She will never be Lara Croft…
