Showing off her natural beauty, the Swedish star opted to go make-up free, exposing her tanned and flawless complexion. 

Bundled up in a chunky grey cardigan, The Danish Girl star looked casual but chic as she soaked up the sun, layering up over a black midi dress. 

Brushing her chestnut coloured locks into a loose ponytail, Alicia looked insouciant yet stylish as she unwound, puffing on a cigarette, in the company of friends.

The pretty brunette was not joined by her boyfriend Michael Fassbender on the day, as he has been jetting around the world promoting his latest film, Ridley Scott's sequel to 2012's Prometheus, Alien: Covenant. 

The couple met whilst filming romantic drama The Light Between Oceans in 2014, the trailer for which was released earlier this month.  

The movie, based on the novel by M.L. Stedman, is the story of a lighthouse keeper (Fassbender) on a remote Australian island just after the First World War and his beautiful young wife (Vikander) who yearns to be a mother.

Meanwhile, Alicia will soon begin working on Tomb Raider, replacing Angelina Jolie as the iconic Lara Croft. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she beat out some stiff competition for the coveted role as Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens actress Daisy Ridley was reportedly in consideration.

Angelina previously starred as Croft in 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raiser and 2003's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life, films inspired by the popular playstation games.
