Alicia Vikander wows in silver sequins at the 'Jason Bourne' London premiere
Alicia Vikander is a regular feature onbest dressed lists, and so it"s easy to forget that she isstill relativelynew to the red carpet game.The 27 year oldwent from a relatively unknown supporting actressto an Academy Awards winning superstarin less than two years, whilealso firmly establishingherself as one of the most exciting, and consistent, dressers in the industry.
This evening Vikander is promoting her latest blockbusterJason Bourneat the European premiere inLeicester Square, wearing a futuristic silvercustomLouis Vuittongown with ruffles at the collar and hips and a slit up the right leg.The actress always manages to make even the most formal red carpet looks appear modern and effortless, which she achieved this evening by teaminga dress which could easily look"overdone" with a laid-back twisted plait pulled over her shoulder, beautifulBulgari Serpenti jewellery andgoing hands-free with no clutch bag.She also co-ordinated nicely with her co-star Julia Stiles who also wore a silverfloor-length gown.
Full-length sequins can runthe riskof looking too much, but Alicia Vikander shows that you can wear full-on sparkles without looking like a Kardashian or Joan Collins.Vikander has worn a number of head-to-toe sequin looks this year in an equallylow-key manner, from the gold ruffled sequin Rodarte gown she wore last week,to the Louis Vuitton checked sequin sleeved gown she wore to the 2016 SAG Awards.Each time she has avoided chandelier earrings, sparkly stilettosand "going out" updos, and so always makessequins lookcooler and fresher than they typically lookon the red carpet.
It is hardlysurprising thatVikander turned to Louis Vuitton this evening, as sheis a brandambassador for the house, and soleans on creative directorNicolas Ghesqui??re for her biggest fashion moments.As well as appearing in ad campaigns for the house,Vikander also wearsLouis Vuitton formany of her magazine cover shootsand for every major red carpet appearance, especially during this year"s awards seasonwhere she was under intense scrutiny thanks to her nominationsfor Best Supporting Actressfor The Danish Girl.
Vikander is loyal to Vuitton, but unlike other red carpet brand partnerships which can feelforced or become tired, Vikander always brings something new to the red carpet and so it continues to feel like a naturalpairing.Another reason why her red carpet approach looks fresh is because she is styled by former model Victoria Sekrier who has no previous experience in celebrity styling or red carpet dressing.
Vikander and Sekrier were friends before they worked together, which is perhaps why it works so well.???Not to blow my own trumpet, but we are in tune with each other in terms of what she???d like to be seen in,???Sekrier said to The New York Times.???From whatever I pull, about 80 percent gets approved.We are efficient.???
Sekrier might have the golden touch when it comes to red carpet dressing, but she is skeptical about becoming a full-time Hollywood stylist and taking on more clients.???The celebrity world is so new to me,??? she said in the interview.???It???s crazy how many people are involved in a decision.With just one celebrity right now, I can still do the interesting shoots with art photographers that I love.It???s a great balance.???
