Superheroes at the Oscars: Emma Stone
Posted: February 28, 2012 Filed under: Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: emma stone, ms. marvel, naomi watts, nicole kidman, oscars, robert downey jr, spider-man, superhero actor Leave a comment »Tony and Pepper were flawless Sunday night, but there were a few other superheroes on the red carpet (not as many as last year, we failed to complete a Bingo). Maybe Gwen Stacey doesn’t count as a superhero?

But Emma Stone does.
Interactive Wednesday: Kiss me, Batman

Just, you know, not so powerful, and with no training. Anyway, lately my chaos powers have been going crazy. For example: I, like many, like to cast my favourite characters and/or cast my favourite actors in my favourite stories. I’ve mentioned before that Naomi Watts and Diane Kruger are my top picks for my best Marvel heroine, Ms. Marvel, and I am infatuated with the idea of Katie Holmes as Jessica Jones. I’ve also been saying since the first of Christopher Nolan’s Bat films (which starred Katie Holmes) that I want to see Talia Al Ghul on the big screen.
Well.

Spy Style: Valerie Plame

She was outed by the Bush administration, lost her job, wrote a book, Doug Liman (the man behind the Bourne films and USA’s Covert Affairs) made it in to a movie starring Naomi Watts, and last May they walked the Red Carpet together at Cannes:

I hope they make it all the way to the Academy because this is true beauty.

Tom Cruise isn’t the shortest man in Hollywood” or “Well, Emma Watson isn’t THAT tall”:

But it must be the Tony people are having a laugh. Katie’s dress looks a size too small and Danny’s suit a size too big, it can’t NOT be on purpose, right? But you know, now I really want to see the amazingly mismatched Danny and Katie Variety Show. Don’t you?
Let’s look at a few Matched Couples:
Wear the Flag

One male, one female. One Marvel, one DC. One over 80 years old, one over 800 years old. One all-American, one a Greek immigrant — both famous for wearing the American flag.

Captain America and Wonder Woman are star-spangled icons.
Interactive Wednesday: Marilyn Monroe (Cannes)
Posted: May 19, 2010 Filed under: Event Fashion, Interactive, Red Carpet Fashion | Tags: cannes, michelle williams, naomi watts, ryan gosling, woody allen 1 Comment »It’s the battle of the Marilyns: Naomi Watts and Michelle Williams are at Cannes this week, promoting their films (You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Fair Game, and Blue Valentine, respectively). Naomi was recently cast as Marilyn in Blonde based on the fictionalized memoir of the same name (by Joyce Carol Oates) and Michelle is expected to play her in an as yet untitled film directed by Simon Curtis. So who will be the better Marilyn? And who is making the biggest fashion splash at Cannes?

Why I want to be in France.

I unabashedly love the movie Tank Girl. It is not by any definition a good film. But come on, look at these fashions:

This is a beautiful dress. It is a little reminiscent of Diane Kruger’s SAG dress which was in turn oft compared to Michelle William’s Oscar dress but that’s not really a bad thing.
This is kind of a bad thing:
