ALICIA VIKANDER: THE CENTER OF FASHION SHENANIGANS

Every year, as the Oscars approach, it becomes evident that there is ONE actress that all the major designers are DYING to dress. This year, Swedish actress and star of The Danish Girl, Alicia Vikander is THAT girl. The biggest names in Paris have been competing to dress Alicia on Oscar night – and money is no object. Alicia was invited to all the major collections during Paris Fashion week and she and her companions had multiple offers of lavish round trip paid vacations. Some designers offer their entire collection as a thank-you for selecting their dress. Competitive design houses been flying fabulous gowns and fitting people to wherever Alicia is, hoping she will select one of their gowns. These aren’t loans – she can keep whatever she is simply THINKING of wearing. Money changes hands – bribes – maybe. Being this year’s IT girl is certainly fun!

It was surprising to learn that Alicia Vikander, who starred with Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl, is Swedish. Granted, she’s quite beautiful, but she’s also whimsical and has a very powerful personality. Her accent is almost nonexistent. In the film she plays the adorable and talented wife that Eddie’s character always wanted to BE. We weren’t so fond of Eddie’s character, but no one could have done a better job with that difficult role. And we DO love his plaid suit.
