At the Venice International Film Festival, Shailene Woodley attends the “Motor City” portrait session with a look that confidently deconstructed conventional glamour and fused masculine tailoring with a flash of feminine allure.
Shailene Woodley’s aesthetic for the “Motor City” portrait session was a masterclass in quiet confidence, eschewing the typical high-wattage red carpet gown for a look that was both understated and fiercely stylish. The actress, who has long favored a more natural and bohemian sensibility, stepped out in an all-black ensemble that read less like a fashion statement and more like a deliberate, no-nonsense uniform. The ribbed, long-sleeve black top provided a sleek, form-fitting silhouette, its subtle texture adding depth without unnecessary frills. This was paired with high-waisted, tailored black shorts, belted at the waist with a simple, classic black leather belt. The shorts, a bold choice for a formal event, created a modern, androgynous feel.
The look was anchored by the unexpected pairing of black stockings and pointed-toe heels, a subtle nod to classic menswear that pulled the entire outfit together with a whisper of sophistication. While the outfit itself was monochromatic and minimal, the styling was anything but. A delicate, sparkling diamond choker necklace was a bright counterpoint to the dark palette, drawing the eye up to her face. A single ring on her hand and sleek, dark sunglasses completed the ensemble.
Woodley’s attitude was a key component of the look. With her hair parted and falling casually around her shoulders, she posed with an air of effortless cool. She exuded a calm, almost defiant confidence, a clear message that her talent and presence speak for themselves. This outfit is a perfect example of modern celebrity fashion that prioritizes personal style and comfort over the grand spectacle of a typical red carpet, proving that true style lies in an individual’s unique expression.
Alicia Vikander stuns at “The Wizard of the Kremlin” photocall in a striking Louis Vuitton Resort 2026 dress at the Venice Film Festival.
The first time I observed Nicolas Ghesquière’s more avant-garde designs for Louis Vuitton, it was clear he was challenging traditional notions of glamour. Now, with Alicia Vikander’s latest turn at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2025, for “The Wizard of the Kremlin” photocall, Hollywood’s embrace of architectural silhouettes has made its undeniable presence felt. This isn’t merely a dress; it’s a sartorial statement, a beautifully orchestrated defiance of the expected, proving that film festivals are, indeed, made for shaking things up.

Alicia Vikander has long been Ghesquière’s favored muse, often gracing red carpets in custom creations that whisper elegance rather than shout for attention. However, her choice of a sleeveless blue jacquard dress from the Louis Vuitton Resort 2026 collection marks a fascinating departure—a bold embrace of the experimental. The intricate blue pattern of the jacquard fabric creates a mesmerizing visual texture, almost like a modern fresco. The high, mock-neck collar adds a touch of regal refinement, while the A-line silhouette, enhanced by a subtly pleated drape insert, gives the ensemble a fresh, playful edge that feels both architectural and utterly chic. It’s a bold, graphic choice that perfectly taps into her discerning fashion sensibilities, marrying Parisian ingenuity with an almost sculptural Italian flair.
One cannot ignore the cohesive styling that truly elevates this look. The silver patent Louis Vuitton custom sandals provide a sleek, contemporary contrast, their metallic gleam echoing the subtle shimmer in the dress’s fabric. A delicate touch of sparkle from Louis Vuitton’s LV Diamonds Double Stud collection adds just the right amount of sophisticated gleam, ensuring the focus remains on the dress’s powerful silhouette while providing a luxurious finish. “It’s a daring move for Vikander, but one that she carries with such understated confidence,” muses celebrated fashion critic Isabelle Dubois. “Ghesquière’s designs often challenge the wearer, and Alicia rises to the occasion every time, transforming the experimental into the exquisitely wearable.” This is not a look that overwhelms; instead, it highlights the delicate balance between the garment’s structure and Alicia’s inherent grace.
What I particularly admire is the way this look, despite its modern edge, carries a whisper of classic artistry. The jacquard pattern, so rich in its detail, could almost be mistaken for an antique tapestry, updated for the 21st century. It’s a testament to Ghesquière’s ability to bridge eras, a craft perfected through centuries of European design. This look avoids the pitfall of being over-designed, maintaining a purity of form that speaks volumes. It’s a clear demonstration of why Alicia remains in a league of her own when it comes to Ghesquière’s muses—she embodies the quiet power and intelligent beauty that his collections champion.
This appearance is a vivid reminder that true style lies not in merely wearing a designer piece, but in understanding and embodying its essence. Alicia Vikander, through this Louis Vuitton Resort 2026 ensemble, has not only stepped onto the red carpet; she has once again redefined what celebrity style can be—a blend of heritage, innovation, and undeniable presence. It urges us to consider: is it groundbreaking? Perhaps. But is it chic? Absolutely, darling.
Get the Look: Alicia Vikander’s Modern Maven Ensemble
- The Statement Mini-Dress: Opt for a jacquard-patterned mini-dress with a structured silhouette and a high neckline. Look for rich textures and patterns in shades of blue or sapphire. Think a modern interpretation of a classic brocade, but with a playful, contemporary cut.
- Sleek Metallic Footwear: Pair your dress with minimalist silver or metallic sandals. The key is clean lines and a patent finish to keep the focus on the dress. Avoid overly embellished shoes; simplicity is key here.
- Understated Sparkle: Accessorize with subtle, high-quality diamond studs or delicate drop earrings. The goal is to add a touch of luxury without competing with the bold pattern of the dress. Louis Vuitton’s LV Diamonds Double Studs are, of course, the inspiration.
- Polished Hair & Makeup: Alicia’s pulled-back hair and natural, glowing makeup ensure the outfit remains the star. A sleek bun or sophisticated updo complements the high neckline beautifully, while a fresh face keeps the overall look modern and effortlessly chic.
- Confidence as Your Best Accessory: Alicia wears this look with an air of quiet confidence. Remember, the most powerful accessory is always how you carry yourself. This look demands an attitude that is self-assured and subtly commanding.
A perfect pop-star pivot: Sabrina Carpenter attends her new album event and unveils a look that’s equal parts ’60s ingenue and modern glamour.
Sabrina Carpenter’s latest outing for her “Man’s Best Friend” event with Spotify in Los Angeles was a masterclass in playful, yet polished, fashion. The pop superstar, celebrating the release of her highly anticipated album, debuted a look that felt both nostalgic and utterly of the moment. Her outfit centered on a vibrant, crimson-and-white gingham minidress, a silhouette that channeled a flirty, retro energy while its fitted, structured cut maintained a clean, contemporary edge.
The dress’s simple, A-line shape was elevated by the vibrant, graphic gingham print, which offered a striking contrast to her sophisticated accessories. On her feet, Carpenter wore the now-iconic Christian Louboutin Sandale Du Desert Gingham Heels, perfectly complementing her dress. The towering platforms and dramatic ankle ties provided an unexpected, whimsical detail, while the signature red bottoms offered a pop of classic Hollywood glamour, a wink to her recent style evolution.
Adding a final touch of understated elegance, the artist’s jewelry was minimal but meaningful. A delicate Maison Raksha Diamond Initial Ring, a subtle nod to her personal brand, was a focal point. Her hair was styled in a sleek, side-parted down-do, with soft waves that framed her face, while her makeup was kept fresh and dewy, emphasizing a natural, glowing complexion. This celebrity style choice felt perfectly aligned with the album’s mood—a little bit sweet, a little bit sassy, and all the way captivating.
