After Alicia Vikander was named the new face of Louis Vuitton, we expected her to walk the red carpet [1] in plenty of gorgeous looks created by designer Nicolas Ghesquière. But Alicia's Golden Globes gown, a feminine take on an apron dress, is a bit more understated than we imagined. That's exactly why we love it.
Alicia's design may not feature a long train — instead it's got sheer pleats and a belt insert at the waist — but it does have a high neck, ruffled cap sleeves, and a crisscross back that offer a subtle nod: "Yes, I'm a fashion superstar, and I'm here to stay." Just read on to see how well Alicia works her LV design, and you'll instantly understand why her relationship with the label is a pure match made in heaven.
