High Fantasy Chic was all over the red carpet.
Here’s Taylor Swift (in J Mendel) looking every bit the Elven Princess. Read the rest of this entry »

Ashley Greene in Giambattista Valli.
So, I don’t like this look. She looks pretty because she is pretty and it’s a pretty dress, too, but it’s not a great fit for her body–
Superheroine of the Night: Eva Longoria

This was a pretty good start. It has a heroine chic edge. But that wasn’t enough for Eva. She also wore this:
Superheroine of the Night: Iman

Because, IMAN.
Also this has always been my favourite Catwoman outfit:
Superhero of the Night: Robert Downey Jr.

RDJ wore Ready-to-Wear Iron Man to comic con. Like. Literally.
It’s best summed up by a comment that flew past my twitter feed while I was on vacation last week, a comment I just sort of giggled at while on the beach and forgot about until I saw THIS:
“I see Tony Stark wore his Robert Downey Jr. Suit to comic con this year.”
Superhero of the Night: Andrew Garfield

There are those — like Alan Cummings — who go for it and get rewarded for their weirdness (though note that I labelled him a villain). But there’s just not that much play for the boys side. Mostly everybody looks like this:
Now before you go pointing out my Spidey-bias (note: I am totally biased) Andrew didn’t win just because he happens to play a superhero. Wolverine and Cyclops were also there! And NPH did a super-swell job as host. But Andrew gets the title for moments like this:
What do you see, Gwen and Peter?
Superheroine of the Night: Naomi Watts

Hello!
Now, from the front this is barely heroine chic at all (though she went with the messy ponytail so I think she was pushing for it): Read the rest of this entry »
Khaleesi Chic featuring Diane Kruger
Posted: May 17, 2012 Filed under: Event Fashion, Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: cannes, daenerys targaryen, diane kruger, game of thrones Leave a comment »Daenerys Targaryen is my favourite character in the HBO series Game of Thrones. She crept up on me when I first watched season one. I started out loving Arya (still love Arya) but then Dany started doing things I would do as every character I have ever played in any fantasy role-playing game ever. She’s a character I could have come up with and she’s the character I love. Thus I am working on my own Ready-to-Wear Daenerys look to wear at upcoming conventions, ren faires and the like. I follow a bunch of tumblrs dedicated to Game of Thrones Style and Daenerys has her own…maybe it was my crowded dash but when I saw Diane’s first two Cannes festival looks, I thought: Khaleesi!
This is an AMAZING dress and she looks stunning in it. I called it Gladiator Chic when I pinned it and with different shoes it could be a comic book superheroine look as is. Diane continues to be my ultimate fashion superhero.
Another Gwen (Stefani)

It’s so very heroine chic. It’s a jumpsuit. It has a a teeny skirt AND tight pants. There are cut outs and sheer bits. It’s suggestive of power and attraction. The red lips and nails scream super. Chunky Wonder Woman bracelet. Even the messy top knot fits a comic book look.
