I’m always on the hunt for unexpected outfits and interesting patterns. Soon enough, Alicia Vikander‘s look for this year’s Cannes Film Festival came to mind and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to write about it–let’s get into it together.
Vikander donned a copper Louis Vuitton custom-made embroidered metallic gown paired with Louis Vuitton High Jewelry precious pieces.
One of those was a cocktail ring with the famous Louis Vuitton monogram star, plus a pair of round pendant earrings with emeralds. The shoes were almost invisible on the red carpet and for this reason, we could not identify them–we could just see that they were probably white platform shoes.
When it came to makeup, we all know that Vikander is a natural beauty and her makeup artist Kelly Cornwell is well known for her care of the skin while working on a client. It goes without saying that the pro used Chantecaille products to achieve the best results, here they are (slightly edited for clarity):
“Skin:

Chantecaille revealed that Cornwell‘s inspiration was the thought of “a mermaid dripping in bronze coming out of the sea”.
Well, we think she absolutely nailed it.
Hairstylist George Northwood styled Alicia‘s hair in a slick/messy top knot, perfect to beat the heat of the South of France; the actress’ nails were au naturel.
