Alicia Vikander brought full red-carpet glamour to Venice on Sunday, arriving in a striking blue ruffled gown alongside her husband, Michael Fassbender, for the premiere of The Echo Chamber.
The 37-year-old Swedish actress cut an elegant figure in the dramatic dress, which featured a thigh-high split and an oversized bow detail across the front.
Commanding attention as she posed for photographers, Alicia later shared a tender kiss with Michael, who was by her side in a show of support.
Michael, 49, looked polished in a classic black tuxedo and sunglasses, smiling as he joined Alicia for photos on the Venice red carpet.
The couple first met while filming The Light Between Oceans in 2014 and went on to marry in October 2017 during an intimate ceremony in Ibiza, Spain.
They welcomed their first son in 2021 and their second son, whose name has not been revealed, earlier in 2024. They now reside in Lisbon, Portugal, with their two children.

The Echo Chamber is a sombre, intimate love story following a drug-addicted music producer Leo (played by Luca Marinelli), and an enigmatic physiotherapist, Anne (played by Alicia).
Their codependent relationship circles through intense attachment, care, control and separation.
Directed by Andrea Pallaoro, the film serves as a highly anticipated Golden Lion contender and is adapted from the final screenplay penned by legendary Italian film-maker Bernardo Bertolucci before his death.
Alicia was joined on the red carpet by her co-stars Luca Marinelli, Susan Sarandon and director Andrea.

Should celebrity parents balance their careers differently to prioritize family life?
Despite having a settled home base, Alicia and Michael lead hectic lives, with Alicia joking they have become ‘nomads’ as they move between homes in four different countries for work.
The couple typically take turns staying at home with their sons while the other is away filming.
Speaking to The Independent, Alicia said: ‘We’ve been in Lisbon; we’ve been in London a lot, and we spend a lot of time in Italy and France. We’re nomads. That’s the hard part with work, we can’t plan far ahead.’
Alicia shared a rare insight into co-parenting with her husband and opened up about her battles with ‘mum guilt’.
The actress made the rare comments during a stylish shoot for British Vogue ahead of her West End debut last year.
While Alicia admitted both her and her husband’s schedules can be gruelling, she said they make sure never to work at the same time in order for one parent to always be at home with the kids.
‘It can be very long days, and a lot of the time you will leave before the kids get up and then maybe not be back before they sleep. So knowing that one parent is always home. With all the parent and mum guilt that you already carry with you constantly – I am battling that a lot, all the time.’
She also spoke about life in Lisbon following the family’s move to Portugal: ‘My husband said he wanted to surf every day. We’re on the beach with the kids every weekend we are there.’
