CANNESS, FRANCE: Swedish actress Alicia Amanda Vikander, and her husband, Michael Fassbender, who won four BAFTA Awards injected some Hollywood glitz into the red carpet while attending the screening of 'Firebrand' during the 76th annual Cannes film festival Sunday, May 1. Alicia and Michael are infamously private people who are currently living together in Lisbon, Portugal.
The story of 'Firebrand,' which is based on Elizabeth Fremantle's 2013 book 'Queen's Gambit,' centers on Henry VIII's sixth and final wife, Catherine Parr, who is played by Vikander. 'Firebrand,' directed by Karim Anouz, was seeing its very first official screening as it competes for this year's valued Palm d'Or. The 34-year-old native of Sweden made everyone pay attention on the red carpet as she projected a dazzling figure in a specially created Louis Vuitton outfit.

The extremely reclusive couple appeared on the red carpet before the 'Firebrand' screening, in which Alicia plays the lead, and seemed in excellent spirits. The Swedish native made a statement in the blush pink gown from the French high-end design house, which was embellished with silver gems and sequins.
