Born on October 3, 1988, in Gothenburg, Sweden, Alicia Amanda Vikander grew up immersed in the arts thanks to her stage actress mother, Maria Fahl. She carried that creative influence into her career.
Fast forward to July 2016, and the rising star was on the world stage as the newest “Bourne Girl,” dazzling at the London premiere of Jason Bourne in a custom Louis Vuitton gown and heels — a look that showed how far she’d come from her Swedish roots to red-carpet royalty.

The Anna Karenina actress had spent months filming the latest sequel, but still gushed over the concept. Alicia said she’d been an enormous franchise fan since the first film.

Alicia Vikander, a long-time Louis Vuitton House Ambassador and muse to Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière, paired her custom gown with white ankle-strap sandals from the French luxury brand—a continuation of her close relationship with the label that has seen her front global campaigns and regularly wear its creations on the red carpet.

With Swedish, Finnish, and distant Baltic German roots, Vikander has often spoken about how her darker features set her apart from the stereotypical “blonde, blue-eyed Swede.”

At 5ft 5 (165 cm), slightly below the national average, her petite frame and striking olive-toned skin have only added to the unique presence that luxury houses like Louis Vuitton highlight in their campaigns.
