Angela Norris from Landman is Stunning in Real Life

Ali Larter is more sophisticated in real life

As well as Ali Larter plays Angela Norris, in her real life, Larter is far less invested in the mob wife aesthetic and more effortlessly sophisticated. While Norris wouldn’t think twice about wearing a skin-tight, low-cut leopard print dress to a casual event, Larter keeps things more classic, opting for pieces that never go out of style, like loafers, blazers, and white button-down shirts. 

“[Angela is] a total spitfire,” Larter tells Elle about her “Landman” character. “You see her going to the bar, and she wants the attention … She thinks of her job as going to the gym and looking great. But you’re also watching the reverse engineering of a trophy wife, someone who’s had all this and is coming back to where she belongs.” Larter loves the character’s fearless embrace of her sexuality, she adds. But the star’s real life style tends more toward easy street style and quiet luxury. On the red carpet, Larter is the queen of the elegant and versatile little black dress, often opting for simple column gowns or a great bodycon outfit.

Larter is grateful for the opportunity to play Angela Norris, she tells Elle. “It’s very rare that you get to a place in your career [in Hollywood] where you get the pick of the litter, and you get to make any movie you want,” Larter says. “When something does connect with an audience, it’s this overwhelming feeling of gratitude and joy — because you never know when it’s going to.” Not only are audiences connecting with Larter’s portrayal of Norris, but we’re loving the evolution of a character that’s on her way to being iconic.
