Posted: January 14, 2013 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: golden globes, marion cotillard, superhero actor, talia al ghul 1 Comment »I glimpsed Marion in the crowd and I knew I’d found my Superheroine.
a) She is so adorable. b) This is easily the most heroine chic look of the night. Now part of that was a lack of heroine chic (lots of blush and lace and pretty, little pow), but also:
Princess of the Night: Lucy Liu

So. Pretty. Pure fairytale princess.
Tilda Swinton is a Rock Star
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: golden globes, tilda swinton 1 Comment »Tilda Swinton ALWAYS makes a statement. The kind where I can’t call her just Tilda. She’s Tilda Swinton. Thing is, the statements Tilda Swinton usually makes are not universally beloved. Her look is “polarizing”. But this look…
How can you not like this? How can you not LOVE this?
Basically, everyone wants to be Tilda Swinton. If you don’t, you don’t matter.
In Which Stacey Keibler is Playing Along

She’s pulled off “Leggy Girl-Wrestler” and “Star Who Dances” and she’s been a trooper as “Clooney’s Arm Candy”. I believe her when she babbles about being a tomboy. I sorta kinda think she’s cool.
But what the what is this?:
I mean. Here’s from the front:
Heroine Chic at the Golden Globes
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: claire danes, dianna agron, golden globes, mila kunis, zooey deschenel Leave a comment »Heroine chic can creep up on you. I don’t expect many of our starlets consciously think “superhero!” when they pick their Red Carpet Looks…but I expect a number do think “powerful” or at the least “fierce”. These have that edge to them:
Dianna Agron. Look at that bodice. She told Ryan Seacrest she is wearing “laser cut swans”. (In related news, my new band Laser Cut Swans is making its debut this Friday)
Superheroine of the Night: Emma Stone
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: emma stone, golden globes 1 Comment »Emma is on a roll with heroine chic. In her interview with E! she answered the (yawn) request “Tell us about your dress” with “It’s Lanvin. It’s fuscia and purple and has an eagle.” She was somehow adorable, sultry, and sassy at the same time.
But let’s break it down:
Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Catherine Zeta-Jones

Best Styling Paired with a Boring Dress:
Dianna Agron is so very pretty. But in this picture I really want to see more of the random press girl behind her. If she’d paired boots with that black dress it’d be so cute and heroine chic. Oh, right, Dianna. This dress puts me to sleep. But everything else is flawless:
Worst Dressed at the Globes: Jennifer Love Hewitt

1. That colour does you no favors on the red carpet. Especially at that length (and it looks too long to boot).
2. This fabric saves every wrinkle and here they are on parade across her middle.
3. What IS that sleeve?
But maybe it looks better in motion, y’know?
Other glimpses of Heroine Chic at the Globes
Posted: January 17, 2011 Filed under: Couples Fashion, Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: golden globes, halle berry, heidi klum, jennifer lopez, kelly osbourne, megan fox, seal 2 Comments »January wasn’t entirely alone. There was also this:
Halle Berry, who has appeared for both Marvel (Storm in the X-movies) and DC (sadly, Catwoman), picked a bunch of stuff out of her lingerie drawer and showed up on the Red Carpet. Which is absolutely heroine chic. And I’d believe she could beat us all up and look damn good doing it.
Here’s a detail on the look. Read the rest of this entry »
Superheroine of the Night: January Jones
Posted: January 17, 2011 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: golden globes, january jones 1 Comment »Watching E’s Golden Globes Live from the Red Carpet pre-show last night I started to worry that nobody went for the heroine chic look (and THEN where would I be?). But then, there she was:
January Jones has truly and certainly discovered her Inner Emma Frost. Here’s the full look –
