When Alicia Vikander attended the Earthquake Bird premiere during the BFI London Film Festival at the Vue West End in London on October 10, 2019, she stayed true to her long-running partnership with Louis Vuitton in an elegant black evening look that balanced understated tailoring with sparkling couture details.

Rather than competing with the crystal-embroidered dress, Vikander paired the look with minimalist black satin Louis Vuitton sandals that quietly elevated the overall ensemble.
The combination remains a good example of how simple evening shoes can quietly elevate an embellished dress without distracting from it.
By the time she arrived at the Earthquake Bird premiere, Alicia Vikander had already established herself as one of Nicolas Ghesquière’s defining muses.
Since becoming a Louis Vuitton ambassador in 2015, she has worn the house’s designs everywhere from the European premiere of Jason Bourne to the world premiere of Tomb Raider and later the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party.

Here, she opted for another understated Louis Vuitton look: a custom black dress inspired by the house’s Fall/Winter 2019 collection, featuring a crystal-embroidered yoke, softly gathered bodice, three-quarter puff sleeves, and a high side slit, finished with Louis Vuitton High Jewelry earrings and a delicate diamond bracelet.
Her black satin Louis Vuitton sandals echoed the clean lines of the dress without drawing attention away from its crystal embellishment.
The archival design featured a broad toe strap, a supportive mid-foot strap, a slender buckled ankle strap, and an approximately 100 mm (4-inch) stiletto heel—an elegant silhouette Louis Vuitton frequently reserved for runway presentations and red-carpet appearances during the late 2010s.

Vikander’s exact black satin Louis Vuitton sandals are no longer available through the fashion house, but archival Louis Vuitton evening shoes remain active on the luxury resale market.
As of August 2026, authenticated pre-owned Louis Vuitton sandals on Farfetch range from about $194 for older leather styles to more than $1,200 for rare crystal-embellished or limited-edition designs, with many elegant heeled sandals selling in the $300–$700 range.
While her exact triple-strap satin pair rarely surfaces for sale, similar minimalist Louis Vuitton stilettos from the late 2010s continue to be sought after by collectors and fans of the brand’s red-carpet archives.
