Don't know why so many people are obsessed with her "looks" and what her ancestry might be.

It has been discussed here many times and a few who are actually from Sweden say that she looks Swedish, her complexion and features are very common there.

Too many assume that a Swede must be blond with pale skin and that simply isn't the case.

As far as ancestry, it has pretty well been proven via DNA testing that all of us have African ancestors. So virtually everyone is of "mixed race" for those who want to cling to the antiquated assignment of "race." Vikander is actually fortunate that her features allow her to play characters of different origins.

But your subject title is wrong, she definitely "looks Swedish" according to those who actually live there.

Mixed race bec of african dna? Uh, everyone came from Africa. That's the origin of everyone's ancestors, its not bec of mixing.

Race isn't an antiquated idea and no, not all of us are mixed race. Stop spreading leftist myths.

She doesn't look Swedish. But of course Swedes say that.
They love to take credit for other things 😝

The structure of her face is pretty northern european. There are quite a few nordics who look like Vikander. I come from nordic stock, I happen to be fair skinned and blonde, my brother is olive skinned and brown haired. Genetics are random.

Yes she has olive skin, also with dark-haired and brown eyes, and is of pretty short stature compared to normal Swedish women IMO..

My grandmother was German/Austrian and she looked Arab/Italian. I look the same. Olive Skin, brown eyes. It's just like with the Irish who everybody thinks look like Liam Neeson and are pale. George Clooney passes for an Arab or an Italian or a Greek person anytime of the day. He's Irish. The same goes for Colin Farrell and Pierce Brosnan. Many Northern/Germanic people look like that. The pale, blonde and blue eyes is just a stereotype. She looks Northern Europeans. The face itself is very Northern European. Mads Mikkelsen is Danish, yet he passes for a Greek or an Arab or an Italian.
