Alicia Vikander attended the premiere of her new thriller, The Assessment, at the Zurich Film Festival last night, putting an unexpected twist on a tried-and-true silhouette. While the plunging neckline of her black dress might have been enough for others, she took it to the next level with artful, intricate draping.
Vikander wore a custom Louis Vuitton dress. Of course, a plunging neckline isn’t necessarily innovative, but Vikander’s dress featured elegant draping along half of the bodice. The detailing continued into the back and skirt of the dress, where a large pleated section was connected to a floor-length train.
Here, Vikander plays with a timeless silhouette in her outfit while adding unexpected and futuristic accents. Sure, there’s a daring neckline, but her dress is unique in its sculptural, almost sci-fi-esque draping. Vikander channeled Hollywood’s finest in her modern goddess dress with dazzling chandelier earrings and a slicked-back hairstyle.
Vikander’s festival appearance follows her appearance at Paris Fashion Week for Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2025 runway show. The actress sat front row alongside Zendaya and Cate Blanchett, reinterpreting the celeb classic once again. Wearing a polka-dot mesh skirt, Vikander interpreted the lightweight fabric trend with something as casual as a grey sweatshirt. She completed the outfit with a structured handbag and a large, statement belt.
Vikander’s latest outfits all have one thing in common: they’re subliminal classics. Almost always wearing Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquière, the actress has found her forte in distinctive, elegant looks that reinvent simple silhouettes. For her most recent appearances, that meant jazzing up glamorous red carpet dresses with sculptural, glamorous draping.
