Thanks to Alicia Vikander, This Sexy Old Dress Trend Is Born Again

Alicia Vikander has been on the promotion trail for her new film, Jason Bourne, and she brought along plenty of special dresses with her. While some are fancy, and usually made by Louis Vuitton (Alicia's the face of the brand), others are casual. But there's one element that brings them all together — and that's a midriff cutout. "Isn't that trend a little outdated?" you might be thinking. But with the way Alicia's looks have been updated thanks to retro shades or sequin embellishments, the outcome is modern.

For the Las Vegas premiere, LV designer Nicolas Ghesquière even split Alicia's peek-a-boo detail in two, highlighting her toned abs. A quick browse at some of your favorite retailers confirms cutouts are back and fresher than ever. Alicia just happens to be the style star to show it. Read on to see her recent appearances, then shop for the season-appropriate silhouette you'll want to add to your closet STAT.
