Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen cut glamorous figures as they attended a special screening of The ᴀssessment at The Rhymers Club in New York on Thursday.

The Swedish actress and Marvel star, both 36, are starring together in the dystopian sci-fli flick, which was released in US cinemas on Friday.

Promoting the new movie in America, Alicia looked nothing short of incredible in a figure-hugging black maxi dress, wich boasted a high neckline and shoulder cut-outs.

She added inches to her height with a pointy pair of heels and swept her long brunette tresses back into a slick bun.

The actress opted for a glowing palette of makeup to elevate her natural beauty and accessorised with a slew of sparkling diamante earrings.

She posed up a storm alongside Elizabeth, who dazzled in a navy PVC gown, which cinched in at the waist before flowing out into a long pleated skirt.

She wore her dark locks in a naturally straight style and added a glamorous swipe of makeup to complete her look for the screening.

The duo seemed to be in high spirits as they posed together before heading inside to watch their movie.

They then departed the venut together, with Alicia wrapping up warm in a tan trench coat and Elizabeth adding a black blazer jacket to shield themselves from the rain.

The upcoming sci-fi movie is set in a not-so-distant future where parenthood is strictly controlled.

It follows Mia (Elizabeth) and Aaryan (Himesh Patel), a successful couple who hope to become parents in a near future where resources are extremely limited and the government keeps firm control over reproduction. 

They are ᴀssigned an ᴀssessor named Virginia (Alicia Vikander), who moves into their home for seven days to evaluate whether they deserve to move forward in their parenting journey. 

What Mia and Aaryan are hoping is a routine test quickly unravels into a psychological nightmare, forcing them to question the very foundations of their society and what it truly means to be human.

It debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September last year and was acquired by Prime Video and the UK release date is yet to be set.

It comes just after Elizabeth found her next project, teaming up with Julia Roberts for the Warner Bros. thriller Panic Carefully.

The actress closed a deal for the film in December last year, according to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline.

Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot) will direct the film from his own script, which will reunite him with Roberts, who previously starred in his TV series Homecoming and his 2023 film Leave The World Behind.

Leave The World Behind debuted last November and became Netflix’s fifth most popular English-language film of all time with 143.4 million views.

While no plot specifics were given, it was described as a ‘paranoid thriller’ in the same vein as his hit show Mr. Robot and Best Picture winner The Silence Of the Lambs.

Warner Bros. picked up the project in a heated bidding war, due in part to the studio’s commitment to a theatrical release for the film.

Production is said to have kicked off in London from January, though no release plans have been unveiled quite yet.

Meanwhile, Alicia appeared on the cover of ELLE UK in September, where she discussed motherhood and her ‘physically demanding’ childbirth.

She married her husband Michael Fᴀssbender in 2017 and they now live in Lisbon with their son.

Speaking on her experience of childbirth, Alicia told the publication: ‘All women have such different experiences, and going through it a second time was definitely harder for me. But I think training made it easier.

‘Going through those nine months is like a marathon, so it does help if you’re strong going into it.

‘It’s so physically demanding, and I have so much admiration for any woman who has done it. I gave birth four times on screen before I did it myself.’

‘Your job is to pretend as an actor, but every time I had to give birth, I said to every woman on set, ‘I’m sorry.’ I felt like such an imposter.’ 

On finding a balance between her career and personal life, Alicia added: ‘I am preparing for two jobs at the moment, and I have come to a point where I’m finding the balance between work and having a family.

‘I narrow it down to two things now – the people I really want to work with, and the projects that I feel are going to be a creative, joyous time. I am privileged that I have the choice of whether I work on these big things.

‘I always have the blues when I finish a job. Especially if it has been one of those good ones, which as I get older is what I’m seeking.

‘I had it on Firebrand. It was a very tough subject, but we had a great time. So, there is a sadness that it’s over, but it’s also like having done a sprint. I’m tired, and by the end of the job I’ve already started to look at something else.’

‘You have to let go. You can’t be in control of your own work, which is a really strange feeling. But then you realise that’s actually what it’s like to be an actor. That can be really hard sometimes. Obviously, working with people and directors you trust really helps.’
