We met Alicia Vikander in Los Angeles to talk to her about her amazing performance in Tomb Raider (2018). In the Interview she opens up about leaving home with the young age of 15, how she was able to find herself, how important friends and family is to her and how much she enjoys living in Portugal.

Hello Alicia fans! A star-studded premiere of Tomb Raider was last night held in Hollywood, and as the main star herself, Alicia was of course in attendance. The premiere was held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, and Alicia looked absolutely amazing walking down the red carpet in a stunning gold and black couture dress by – surprise – Louis Vuitton! With a bolder make-up look than usual, and a gorgeous do with a braid on the site, this look goes straight into my top 10 favorite looks of hers of all time.

Alicia was joined by her co-star Walton Goggins at the red carpet (I love the pics of the two of them posing together!), and other celebrities in attendance were Kate Bosworth, her husband Michael Polish, Danielle Panabaker and Camilla Luddington, who voices Lara Croft in the recent Tomb Raiders video games. We’ve been blessed with a rather crazy amount of photos, and they’re all so stunning I just couldn’t leave a single one out! I know you’re going to love these; follow the link below for all the pretty.

We are certainly being blessed with many new photoshoots this year, Alicia fans! Following the stunning Hunger Magazine photoshoot we just posted below, we’ve already now got another one for you. During her promotion tour for Tomb Raider in Los Angeles, Alicia stopped by USA Today for a gorgeous portrait session and an interview. You can find the pretty new portraits in our gallery, and read on for their full story! More Tomb Raider related updates are coming up, stay tuned …

USA TODAY | LOS ANGELES – Alicia Vikander had just wrapped her exhausting 100-day Tomb Raider shoot last June when she decided to catch the summer movie sensation Wonder Woman for rest and relaxation.

Seeing Gal Gadot’s powerful Diana Prince at the center of the superhero world knocked Vikander out.

“I was amazed, I watched a battle scene onscreen with only women and realized that it was so far away from everything I have been fed my entire life,” Vikander says.

The visualization hit home, she says. “I’m a feminist, and aware, but I was like, ‘Wow,’ I hadn’t really even questioned that I only see men in these things. I felt thankful to them for bringing (us) this film.”

Nearly a year later, Vikander is returning the favor, stepping into the action boots of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (in theaters Friday). Angelina Jolie previously strapped on the iconic video-game heroine’s combat-ready footwear in 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and the 2003 sequel Lara Croft: Tomb Raider — The Cradle of Life.

The news that the now 29-year-old Swede (who married actor Michael Fassbender last year) would take on the rebooted role was a surprise, mostly since Vikander is the toast of art-house film world — known as the beautiful and intelligent humanoid robot Ava in Ex Machina and the artist Gerda Wegener in The Danish Girl.

As alerted a couple of weeks ago, Alicia is currently featured in Hunger Magazine to promote Tomb Raider! The magazine has now shared their full story on Alicia, as well as released three additional photos from her photoshoot. I love everything about this shoot, and these new additions might just be my favorite ones yet! I’ve added the new photos to our gallery, and you can read the article below.

Hunger – Alicia Vikander has a mantra. “When things are hard,” she begins, slowly, “I say, ‘Yeah, but it’s not tougher than ballet school.’” Alicia enrolled at the Royal Swedish Ballet School at nine, and danced with companies until she was 19, which amounts to a childhood spent in permanent discipline. “One thing you learn in a school like that, if it doesn’t break you, is that no one does [the work] for you.”

It’s a rather worldly lesson to have internalised as a child, but as preliminary training for Hollywood, you’d hazard the lesson was invaluable. Today, the 29-year-old Oscar winner still has the physical mannerisms of a dancer: she sits, back straight on her chair, legs crossed, occasionally grasping her feet and rocking from side to side. Her first English-speaking role was only “six or seven years ago”, and she speaks slowly and carefully, though it doesn’t seem like the uncertainty of the non-native speaker, but instead a deep-rooted thoughtfulness.

For there is plenty for Alicia to reflect on. Next week, her latest film, Tomb Raider, will be released; she, of course, plays the video game riot grrrl Lara Croft in the new adaptation, directed by Norwegian director Roar Uthaug, and co-starring Dominic West and Kristin Scott Thomas. It is one of the last projects Alicia had committed to before she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2016, for her role as Gerda Wegerer in The Danish Girl, which means that she is now, for the first time in two years, picking new projects, working out who she wants to be next. She recently took four months off – the first break in five and a half years when she didn’t have something else in preparation – and travelled to Japan: “Number one on my list until I went – and I want to go back and see more.” She is reading, greedily. “I don’t want to say what,” she says, coy, granting only that she enjoyed Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens and Homo Deus. She is tentatively interested in producing. “I love filmmaking, so as an actor it’s been wonderful, but you come in at a later stage in the process. But to be there and develop an idea and move forward – that’s what I put a lot of time into thinking about right now.” Read More

EW — A bad-ass heroine needs an equally bad-ass soundtrack — and K.Flay is not about to leave Lara Croft hanging. The alt-rock/hip-hop singer, who was the only woman nominated in the rock categories at the 2018 Grammys, is giving the iconic Tomb Raider character a new theme song with “Run for Your Life,” whose high-energy music video is premiering on EW today.

“It’s so exciting, especially because the film centers on such a strong female character,” K.Flay tells EW about becoming a part of the film, which hits theaters March 16 and stars Alicia Vikander in the role once played by Angelina Jolie. “I really connected with that sense of independence in the movie. The song is about doing everything in your power to survive when the odds are stacked against you, when people doubt you, when you’ve been left behind. Instead of cowering, you rise up.”

And while the “Blood in the Cut” singer isn’t jumping through ruins the way Vikander does in the film’s trailer, shooting the “Run for Your Life” clip — which features footage from the movie — required her to break a sweat, too.

“For me, the video was all about capturing the energy and emotion of the song,” says K.Flay, who also kicks off the second leg of her U.S. tour today. “One of the reasons I like video shoots is that you get to reimagine the song in a physical, corporeal way.”

Hello again Alicia fans! Just dropping by with yet another video master-post, the 5th from the current Tomb Raider promotion tour.
