Alicia Vikander wows in a plunging blue gown as she attends Tokyo Film Festival’s opening ceremony

She’s been making a string of glamorous red carpet appearances in the last few weeks, as she promotes her upcoming Netlfix noir mystery, Earthquake Bird.

And Alicia Vikander, 31, kept the precedent going on Monday, when she stepped out in eye-catching style for the Tokyo International Film Festival’s opening ceremony.

The Swedish beauty wowed as she arrived at the Japanese capital’s Roppongi Hills wearing a deeply plunging royal blue dress, which featured a daring thigh-high split. 

Her breathtaking gown of choice featured long puffed sleeves and was cinched at the waist with a tailored band.

Standing tall in a pair of jewelled black heels, the Tomb Raider star a gold statement bracelet, dazzling rings and a pair of sparkling drop earrings.

With her dark tresses styled into a sleek wavy ponytail with a French plait at the front, the widely lauded actress wore a light palette of makekup.

Earlier this month, Alicia stepped out in London for the UK premiere of her film Earthquake Bird, which also stars Riley Keough and Naoki Kobayashi. 

The film takes viewers to 1989 Tokyo, following expat Lucy Fly (Vikander) and her intense love triangle with her boyfriend Teji and new friend Lily (Kobayashi and Keough).

Lucy is seen being questioned by police when Lily mysteriously disappears, in the first look trailer.

Director Wash Westmoreland leads the film to chronicle Lucy’s head-over-heels relationship with her handsome photographer beau.

Tress-ed to impress: With her dark tresses styled into a sleek wavy ponytail with a French plait at the front, the widely lauded actress wore a light palette of makekup 

But there seems to be trouble for Vikander’s Lucy when new-to-town Lilly seems to get too comfortable around her man. 

The star looks worn down in the trailer’s first scene, as she sits, make-up free and with a cold, tired look on her face, as she is questioned by police.

The clip then goes back in time, showing events before Lucy disappeared and how they women met and got along. 

While starting a bludgeoning friendship with the new-to-Tokyo Lily, while also being in a relationship with her boyfriend.

Teji seems to be completely taken by Lucy, snapping photos of her at every moment, though she remains stoic and calm.

But the tension between the leading ladies seems to heat up as Lily is heard calling Teji, ‘gorgeous,’ before the trio are seen walking into the ocean together to swim.  

‘Love, obsession, betrayal’ flash on the screen.  A scene quickly changed from Lucy and Teji kissing to a scene of Lily and Teji. 

Lily seems to be an enticing character who gets close to people fast but becomes concerned about her new situation, saying ‘It feels like something really bad is gonna happen.’
