Woman of Style: Alicia Vikander

“It’s almost a kick that I’m looking for. I like to push myself, find new sides of myself and see how different the characters are that I can create with my craft.” – Alicia Vikander, Oscar-winning actress and star of the new movie, The Light Between Oceans.

When I saw Alicia Vikander take the stage in her yellow strapless high-low dress to accept her Oscar, I knew then that she had a beauty and a style that couldn’t be match by any other actress. This is why she is this month’s “Woman of Style.”

Vikander won both the Academy Award and the Screen Actor’s Guild for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of painter Gerda Wegener in The Danish Girl (2015), opposite of Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne.

Vikander trained as a ballet dancer at the Royal Swedish Ballet School is Stockholm, and at the School of American Ballet in New York. She starred along side Kiera Knightly and Jude Law in Joe Wright’s film adaptaion of Anna Karenina in which she portrayed Princess Ekaterina “Kitty” Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya. She also appeared in the Julian Assange biopic The Fifth Estate. In 2014 and 2015, Vikander achieved global recognition and acclaim for her roles as activist Vera Brittain in Testament of Youth (2014), and Ava, an AI, in Ex Machina (2015), for which she was nominated for the Golden Globe and BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Her Award season style topped several “best dressed” lists.

This Swedish beauty also starred in The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and most recently, The Light Between Oceans, with her boyfriend Michael Fassbender. She is also taking over the role of Lara Croft, from Angelina Jolie, in Tomb Raider, which is currently in pre-production.

Vikander has such an innocent beauty and a lithe dancer’s body. She could wear a paper sack and still be stunning. Don’t you agree?

Vikander is dating actor Michael Fassbender. They make an attractive couple, and their styles compliment each other very well.
