Finally — the first live action peek of Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus — and it’s packed full of Lily Cole.
The model, who looks more doll-like than ever, plays Valentina, daughter of Doctor Parnassus who’s played by Christopher Plummer. Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell take turns as Tony, collectively make this the most attractive film ever made. Lily’s in the background of at least half the clips, sometimes naked, once in a Valentino red dress, once making out with Heath and always framed by her wild red mane.
Our reaction to this is probably like a twelve-year-old’s to Twilight.
This afternoon the Daily Mail showed us the first pictures of the characters from Tim Burton’s film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
And while we feel that Tim’s cycle of remaking a classic in a quirky weird way starring Johnny Depp might be getting a little tired, there’s no arguing that the hair and makeup teams are doing some genius work on this set.
I’m kind of loving Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, perhaps because it’s such a very different Anne than we’re used to seeing. And I forever love a perfect scarlet lip with ultra-pale skin.
But from a beauty standpoint, this look leads us to ask the question: when you go from brunette to blond (a current topic of much discussion here at the office) do you bleach the eyebrows too, or do the more dramatic dark brow/light hair combo?
Across the pond today, Angels The Costumiers are putting up a bevy of costumes from films and television shows at the Bonhams Knightsbridge auction house in London.
The goods include a bullfighter style jacket Johnny Depp wore in The Man Who Cried, and a jumpsuit from the Bond film Moonraker.
How we’d feel about owning something that Johnny Depp once wore aside, we’re now making mental lists of which movie’s costumes we would bid on.
For me, it would definitely be Audrey Hepburn’s dresses and dress suits from Charade, crazy eighties getups from Parker Posey in Party Girl and Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan, and in my ultimate fantasy, Kirsten Dunst’s queenly gowns from Marie Antoinette. Britt’s with me on Marie Antoinette and would also kill for Julianne Moore’s wardrobe from Boogie Nights and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s from Secretary. Abby loves the clothes from either version of The Thomas Crown Affair worn fabulously by Faye Dunaway and Rene Russo, along with some of Gwyneth’s pieces from The Talented Mr. Ripley.
We love the special subscriber’s cover of Elle UK that just arrived in our inbox (and hits newsstands tomorrow).
It’s Winona at her absoute pixieish best, perhaps being plucked from what was really starting to look like fashion and film obscurity.
And the coverline, one of the most written about tattoos of all time, is the kind of simple perfection we wish wasn’t relegated to non-newsstand issues.
We’ll forgive Winona her transgressions as long as she brings back the actress and gritty style muse we knew and loved throughout our teenage years.
Later. We gotta motor if we wanna grab that issue.
We’re kind of wondering what happened to Kate Moss’ vow of silence.
Thirteen years ago, when she was dating Johnny Depp, one of his PR people suggested she avoid future interviews to build an air of mystery.
She made it through childbirth, Pete Doherty and a nasty cocaine scandal without saying a word but now, she’s everywhere. Well, she was always everywhere, but now she’s actually speaking everywhere.
You know we love Kate - love her, loved her Interview interview especially - but we don’t understand why she’s suddenly so press happy. At first we thought, “Ok, well, she has to sell her Topshop line.” But then this weekend, she spoke to the Times UK about how she gets ready to go out. She suggests putting “keys and money” in your purse for a night of fun and loves “vodka tonics.”
Sometimes, we like to know that famous people are just like us, but sometimes, they’re better off with that air of mystery - and that’s the meanest thing we’ll ever say about Miss Moss.
On the one hand, Vanessa Paradis for Miu Miu makes as much sense as Johnny Depp for Captain Jack Sparrow - quirky, elegant and sexy in an offbeat way.
But on the other hand, while Vanessa might not have an official contract to wear Chanel every time she steps out of her house, we can’t really imagine her in anything else.
The French actress and singer wears decidedly pretty dresses with red lips, making this Miu Miu collection in particular a strange choice - we’re having a hard time picturing her in the monogrammed athletic outfits or retro print shifts.
No doubt Miuccia, Mert, and Marcus will let her keep the lipstick, but how will they make the collection suitable for someone who’s known for her very romantic style?
That rumor we spread about Mark Fast doing a line for Topshop? It's true. And it's in last week's Sunday Telegraph magazine which means it was true before we even said anything and we've had it in our lap since... Read More
Meet Blue Logan, if you haven't already. A couple of years ago a friend dragged the soft-spoken Brit to a show at London Fashion Week, Aquascutum he thinks, and he started to draw the models as they walked down the... Read More
