Alicia Vikander stars in a bejeweled blush dress as she rarely appears on the red carpet with husband Michael Fassbender at the premiere of Firebrand at the 76th Cannes Film Festival
Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender were the latest stars to bring some Hollywood glamor to the Cannes red carpet on Sunday.
The couple attended the screening of Firebrand at the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival.
Swedish Alicia, 34, made sure all eyes were on her when she cut a glamorous figure in a bespoke Louis Vuitton ensemble.
Alicia turned heads in the blush pink dress with silver jewels and sequins from the French luxury fashion house.
She had her dark brown locks pinned away from her face in a sleek half-up half-down do, with a soft pink lip and smokey eye look.

She added a few round hoops to the glamorous ensemble, while keeping the rest of her accessories to a minimum.
Meanwhile, her handsome husband Michael, 46, was dressed to impress in a black tuxedo at the star-studded event.
The Irish hunk paired his outfit with a crisp white shirt and black bow tie, and completed his groomed look with black shoes.
The couple met in 2014 on the set of their movie The Light Between Oceans, playing husband and wife on screen.
They later married in Ibiza in October 2017 and have since welcomed one child together: a son named Mark, born in 2021.
Earlier this year, Michael competed in the European Le Mans Series – an auto racing endurance series that took place in Barcelona, Spain.
After sharing his passion for the sport, the Dempsey Racing owner and former Le Mans driver contacted the heads of Porsche Motorsport Marketing and launched Michael’s racing career.
Alicia and Michael, who currently live together in Lisbon, Portugal, are known for being notoriously private.

Telling the Story: Firebrand is based on Elizabeth Fremantle’s 2013 novel Queen’s Gambit, with the story centering on Henry VIII’s sixth and final wife, Catherine Parr, played by Alicia
Directed by Karim Aïnouz, Firebrand received its first official screening as it competes for the prestigious Palm d’Or at this year’s ceremony.
Firebrand, a screenplay by Jessica and Henrietta Ashworth, is based on the 2013 novel Queen’s Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle.
It focuses on the story of Catherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of Henry VIII, who was King of England from April 22, 1509 until his death in 1547.
Alicia plays Catherine Parr, while Jude Law stars as Henry VIII.
Last May, Sam Riley was announced as Thomas Seymour, Eddie Marsan as Edward Seymour, Simon Russell Beale as Stephen Gardiner, and Erin Doherty as Anne Askew.
Filming for the film began in April last year and production took place at Hadden Hall in Bakewell, Derbyshire, until June.
