First Look: Gemma Ward in The Great Gatsby

Friday, Nov 18, 2011 / 9:00 AM

Here’s something we just spotted on Tumblr claiming to be a photo of model-cum-actress Gemma Ward on the set of the Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, which has been filming in Ward’s native Australia. This would be a first look at Ward in her role of Catherine, Myrtle Wilson’s (played by Isla Fisher) sister. Although Catherine plays a minor role in the original novel, Ward has managed to reach sixth billing on the film’s IMDB page, which makes us wonder if the role has been expanded. We’re hoping it has, because as excited as we are about a film that brings stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan together, we’d be lying if we said that we weren’t most excited about Gemma.

Rumor: McQueen: Savage Beauty Going To London? A McQueen spokesperson said there have been tentative talks with some London venues but an official announcement will be made if/when they reach a decision.

Black Swan hits theaters tomorrow, and we’ll finally be able to get a look at those Rodarte costumes (oh, and that much-hyped sex scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis). Ballet has long been a muse for fashion, so we decided to take a look at some of the best ballet-themed editorials over the years. The fashionheads at online communities the Fashion Spot and Fashin made them easy to find–thanks!

(Sort of related: Does anyone know what’s happening with that Kate Moss/Baryshnikov ballet movie?)

Anyways, back to the editorials. Take a look.

Most of what we see in fashion, as whole, can be very serious. It’s full of unsmiling models, people wearing black, harsh editors and moody vibes. We understand and appreciate the serious side of fashion. However, as you may have noticed, we have a soft spot for cuteness. Most recently, Brad Koenig’s kid at Chanel warmed our hearts and inspired us to recall our favorite cute moments over the years.

Everyone’s excited that Gemma’s officially announced 2009 as the year she returns to modeling full-time (we were getting a little worried there, too.)
