Mrs Fassbender in mellow yellow

SHE had the ambitious task of taking over the role of Lara Croft from Angelina Jolie in the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise. But Alicia Vikander was every inch the leading lady at the film’s premiere in Mexico on Saturday. The actress, 29, adopted a look that was worlds away from her on-screen character’s khaki shorts and tight-cropped vest top, as she sashayed down the red carpet in a stunning strapless pale yellow gown. Alicia cut an elegant figure in the floor-length dress that featured abundant romantic bow detail. The Swedish star, who quietly married Michael Fassbender, 40, in October, has been coy about the relationship. When asked in a recent TV interview about married life, she admitted only, ‘I carry a smile on my face most of the time.’
