I noticed that. Technically it's acceptable to use the 'aa' instead of the å but I'm pretty sure Variety can create the å. So why they didn't, and didn't catch it, I have no idea.
It looks like I may have to watch the beginning of the Woman's Final of the French Open for the first time in a long time:
Louis Vuitton Taps Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgård to Deliver Tennis Trophies
The actors, who played a couple on HBO's "Big Little Lies," will deliver the trophies for the French Open tennis tournament in custom cases.
By Joelle Diderich on June 9, 2017
CHARM OFFENSIVE: Louis Vuitton has tapped two high-profile ambassadors to deliver the winner’s trophies at the Roland-Garros tennis tournament, which will be housed in custom-made Vuitton cases for the first time.
Nicole Kidman will deliver the Coupe des Mousquetaires (“Musketeers’ Trophy” in English) awarded to the winner of the men’s singles competition at the French Open before the final on Sunday. She will attend the match and trophy ceremony.
The Australian actress won the 70th Anniversary Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in May, with no fewer than four projects showcased this year: “How to Talk to Girls at Parties,” The Beguiled,” “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” and the second season of Jane Campion’s television series “Top of the Lake.”
Alexander Skarsgård will bring the Suzanne Lenglen Cup courtside just before the ladies’ final on Saturday. The “Tarzan” actor recently starred opposite Kidman in the HBO miniseries “Big Little Lies,” in which they played a couple locked in an abusive relationship.
Kidman will be accompanied by canoeist Tony Estanguet, three-time Olympic gold medal winner and co-president of the Paris bid for the 2024 Olympics, while Skarsgård will be flanked by boxer Estelle Mossely, who won gold in the women’s lightweight event at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Vuitton has previously created special-order cases for the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament, the America’s Cup sailing competition and the Rugby World Cup.
Handmade in the company’s historic Asnières workshop near Paris, the Roland-Garros cases are covered in Vuitton’s Monogram canvas and lined in terracotta fabric designed to evoke the tournament’s clay courts. They are fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners.
Brazilian artist Vik Muniz, the author of the 2017 Roland-Garros poster, has customized the cases with features including his signature.

Emmys: Alexander Skarsgard Revisits His ‘Big Little Lies’ Therapy Session
Ethan Alter
June 9, 2017
As we enter Emmy season — nomination voting runs June 12 to June 26 — Yahoo TV will be spotlighting performances and other contributions that we feel deserve recognition.
Big Little Lies [/a]would require lots of intense rehearsal. But as Alexander Skarsgård tells Yahoo TV in our Emmy video series “My Scene to Remember,” very little preparation went into shooting what has become the most talked-about sequence of the entire series. In it, married couple Perry (Skarsgård) and Celeste (Nicole Kidman) wrestle with the darkness at the heart of their marriage in front of a very patient, very concerned therapist (Robin Weigert). “Nicole and I didn’t rehearse this scene at all,” Skarsgard says. “All these pregnant pauses are not for dramatic effect — it’s us trying to figure out who has the next line!”
Here’s another surprise: the take that millions of viewers saw in the show is the first take that Skarsgård and Kidman filmed at the beginning of what ultimately proved to be a four-to-five-hour day. According to the 40-year-old actor, that was one of the happy quirks of collaborating with Oscar-nominated director Jean-Marc Vallée, who made a point of infusing the shoot with some of the spontaneity of live theater. “It’s as close to doing a play as I’ve ever done in front of a camera,” Skarsgård says. “We had the whole dance floor, in a way.”
Lies dance partner with keeping them both on point throughout this pivotal sequence. “Nicole is so open and generous, and it’s very easy to play off of that. Perry’s ready to talk, to Celeste’s surprise, and shares quite a lot. She tries to protect their secret, and he opens up more. In one way, this is genuine. This is him opening up and showing vulnerability. But he could potentially say these things because he knows it gives him leverage in their battle,” he says. “After this [scene], he’s in control, because she feels he opened up, and he’s really working on their issues.”" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">And the star credits his Lies dance partner with keeping them both on point throughout this pivotal sequence. “Nicole is so open and generous, and it’s very easy to play off of that. Perry’s ready to talk, to Celeste’s surprise, and shares quite a lot. She tries to protect their secret, and he opens up more. In one way, this is genuine. This is him opening up and showing vulnerability. But he could potentially say these things because he knows it gives him leverage in their battle,” he says. “After this [scene], he’s in control, because she feels he opened up, and he’s really working on their issues.”
Those issues, of course, have to do with the fact that Perry is a domestic abuser, who lashes out at his wife physically and emotionally. But Celeste continues to stay with him, in part because she feels complicit in this arrangement. “This was an interesting lesson, learning how abusive people can make their partners feel like they’re responsible,” Skarsgård says. “The dynamic is also difficult for Celeste because their love life is very violent and aggressive and passionate. There’s a fine line there. In a way, she blames herself. She feels, ‘Am I pushing him? Because part of me enjoys the tension and the build-up that is fiery and intense. Do I push him over the line where it gets violent?‘”
Lies wrapped production, the actor confesses that the character is following him around. “People don’t like me anymore,” he says with a rueful chuckle. “That’s okay, I don’t blame them. I don’t like myself!”" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Skarsgård describes the scenes where Perry batters Celeste as the hardest parts of the shoot. “We didn’t chop it up and shoot bits and pieces. We had to do the whole thing. To see Nicole, because she’s obviously a very devoted actress, those days were tough,” he says. “We tried to make sure to check in with each other at the end of the day and hug and make sure we were okay.” And even though he left Perry behind after Lies wrapped production, the actor confesses that the character is following him around. “People don’t like me anymore,” he says with a rueful chuckle. “That’s okay, I don’t blame them. I don’t like myself!”

I wonder why LV picked Alex and Nicole?? Neither are ambassadors for the brand and this can't be BLL emmys promo.
Oh well. Excited to see Alex on Sunday. I have a feeling Fares is going to be his date to the match. Haha!
^^ WWD article states that they are ambassadors for the brand ... and Fares Fares is in California so he rather won't be at the match 
Thanks, Esizzle.

Jeanne Yang styles him in a lot of LV, so I wonder if they decided to make a more formal arrangement out of it. Or is this just some random thing?
