What Angela Norris From Landman Really Looks Like Off-Screen

Angela Norris, the saucy ex-wife of Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris on the neo-Western Paramount+ series "Landman," is the kind of character we love to tune in for. She's full of spark and confidence, with a body-con wardrobe that acts like its own supporting character. But Angela's style doesn't exactly translate off-screen for the actor who plays her. Hollywood veteran Ali Larter has had a stunning transformation from her small parts in "Legally Blonde" and "Varsity Blues" (her whipped cream bikini in the latter is the stuff of legends) to her most notable long-running part in "Heroes" from 2006 to 2010. In the 2010s, she focused a lot on growing her family with comedian husband Hayes MacArthur, and in 2022, they moved from Los Angeles to Sun Valley, Idaho.

Now, she's back in the public conversation as Angela, who loves to flaunt her body in revealing fashion choices that send a not-so-subtle message to the people of West Texas, and fans are here for it. One wrote under a June 2025 Instagram post from the actor, "You hit a home run with that role." Another added, "You are amazing. Thank the person who cast you on Landman. There is NOBODY who could do it better." We agree, especially because this role means we get to see even more of Larter off-screen, too.

In November 2025, Ali Larter shared her appreciation for "Landman" femme fatale Angela Norris with The New York Times. "She looks for the thrill in life. Her heels can't be high enough; the jeans can't be tight enough; the boobs can't be pushed up enough." Does Larter feel the same way off-screen?

By looking at her red carpet portfolio through the years, we'd say that the 49-year-old star is decidedly different, fashion-wise, from her character, though Larter isn't afraid to share a bikini pic on Instagram. Some may say that Angela's country-Western aesthetic is the fashion gift that keeps on giving, but Larter is more streamlined, more sensually sophisticated than overtly sexy. For example, at the Elle Women in Hollywood celebration in November in L.A., she wore a checkered Teresa Helbig dress with thigh-high boots, hinting at playful sexiness without it being too loud. That same month, she stunned in a red Georges Hobeika number for a party in Las Vegas. Naturally, flame emojis and hearts flooded her Instagram comments, and more and more people are uncovering what we've always known: that Larter is a gorgeous actor with stunning hair, makeup, and clothes that, while different from Angela, are perfectly her.
