Swedish actress and former dancer Alicia Vikander after stepping up her game with the Tomb Raider franchise she took over from Angelina Jolie, lands on cover of the September 2017 issue of American Elle Magazine. Shot by fashion photographer David Bellemere, the 28-year-old for the cover was styled by Samira Nasr in a dress and belt from Louis Vuitton, with necklace by Sidney Garber and rings by Jade Trau, and Tom Wood.Alicia on feeling empowered by the action scenes in her upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, said “I love big popcorn movies. I’ve never done action scenes on this level – not even close. It feels like I’m back to dancing – the training, the intensity. You need to be aware of your movement up in the wires and how your body works. I’ve never been able to lift my own weight, and the day when you have that capacity, it’s pretty empowering!”Photo Credit: Elle
