Alice Eve announced her engagement to her “high school sweetheart”, financier Alex Cowper-Smith, on August 14, 2014. They first met as teenagers while attending the Westminster School in London.

The couple married in a relatively low-key ceremony at Brompton Oratory, London on New Year’s Eve, in 2014. Unfortunately, they quickly grew apart due to her increasing fame and demanding schedule. They ended up separating and divorced in 2017.

Alice discussed her divorce from Alex Cowper-Smith in an interview with US Weekly.

“I think that after divorce, I took my life a little bit more seriously, because you have to face endings in a way that you maybe never — death in one thing, but an ending in your own chapter. It’s so clearly placed there for you with divorce,” the actress told the entertainment magazine at the 2018 Women in Film Max Mara Face of the Future Award Recipient event in June 2018.

“So after that, things that I thought were frivolous or dismissed, like, ‘My hair is my hair,’ I was like, ‘Let’s look at the hair. What should it be? I can choose it.’ So yeah, there’s a bit more choice and ownership after divorce, I think.”

“You look at relationships, friendships, things you spend your time on. In a way you want to be. I looked forward suddenly and was like, ‘Where do I want to be at 45? What do I want to have in my life or not have in my life?’” she added.

“Because actually, I know that life has its own twists and turns, but you can try and make some plans, and some of them do come to fruition.”

In September 2015, Alice Eve continued to disappoint on the red carpet. Just a week after wearing a horrendous Stella McCartney dress Dirty Weekend screening, she failed us again.

The then 33-year-old actress opted to wear an ill-fitting outfit at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie, Before We Go, held at the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood.

Alice wore a color-blocked Marni pre-fall 2015 dress. The long-sleeved frock swamped her slim figure, and the color combination was atrocious.

Not only was the dress bad, but so was its styling.

Alice carried a heavily embellished black clutch and slipped her feet into vampy black pumps.

Alone, both the pumps and clutch were interesting. However, they just didn’t match the dress.

The actress finished up her terrible look with a messy hairstyle and smokey-eyed, pale-hued makeup.

At least Chris Evans — who made his directorial debut with this movie — looked dapper as he joined Alice on the red carpet.

Chris wore a three-piece suit overtop, a navy collared shirt and a printed brown tie.
