Alicia Vikander stepped onto the red carpet for the premiere of her latest flick looking nothing short of sensational.

Of course being a muse for the French label, she wore a custom made gown by Louis Vuitton that was a blooming beauty against the red backdrop.

The classic floral print dress is something of a departure for the fashion house that has carved a new identity out of an edgy and futuristic aesthetic.

But don't think we're complaining! This moody navy blue gown is just the inspiration we need in the Fall/ Winter evening wear department.

We love the simple capped sleeves, and elegant silhouette that nips Alicia's waist with a flirty ruffle. We can't help but feel inspired to get something similar on the high street!

'No it's not hard,' he said nonchalantly. 'I just answer what I want to answer.'

He continued: 'It just happened. It's good that it happened. It is what it is.'

Based on the 2012 novel of the same name by M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans tells the story of a lighthouse keeper.

He and his wife live off the coast of Western Australia, post World War I, who find a baby in an abandoned boat that washes ashore. 

Talking about his role as the lighthouse keeper, Michael said he was drawn to his character. 

'They don't make men like Tom anymore,' he said. 

'Is it hard for you when everyone wants to ask you about her?' Richard asked him during their tete-a-tete

'No it's not hard,' he said nonchalantly. 'I just answer what I want to answer'

'He and Isabel find themselves on this private island, on an endless honeymoon, which then becomes a prison.'

Richard Arnold continued: 'You've been in Prometheus, X:Men Apocalypse. I never know when you are going to crop up next.'

Michael replied: 'I never know myself. I don't intellectualise it. I just go with my gut.'  

He continued: 'It just happened. It's good that it happened. It is what it is'
