When she’s not killing it on the red carpet (most frequently in Louis Vuitton), Alicia Vikander is magnificently translating her style to the street, donning our idea of the perfect off-duty look this morning in London. Wearing a double-breasted coat over a long knit dress and white sneakers, the Swedish actress looked polished as ever, but with the casual elegance we endlessly strive for.
