Red Carpet Eye Candy…{2}

-
Hiya, people!  WELL, I finally got around to replying to y'all's lovely comments (actually, I'll be doing that as I write this, hehe).

Coming off of Cinderella Week, I thought p'raps a nice new commentary on some lovely red carpet dresses might be in order.  Shall we?


Sadly, I'm not a huge fan of most of what Hailee Steinfeld wears for the red carpet, but THIS DRESS.  Phew.  T'is beautiful:  a gorgeous color for her, the accents seem to fit her personality well, and the styling is also awesome.


I usually prefer a full-on, floor-length gown for the red carpet, but this is adorable.  Well done, Bailey, well done!  (Also, did you guys know that Hailee Steinfeld and Bailey Madison are friends?  The pictures of the premiere of Romeo and Juliet are rather precious.)  Anyway, I love the detail at the top of the dress, and the twist the mini cape puts on it.


Beautiful!  I love the styling choices Cate Blanchett made.  I'm usually not big on this color for a dress, but I really like it here.


UM.  YES.  (Okay, the leg slit might be pushing it a bit, but still.  It's gorgeous.)


Okay, I know I already posted a picture of this dress, but IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIIIIIIEEEE!  Ahem.  It's just so effortless and elegant.  And that color is spot-on PERFECT for Lupita Nyong'o.  


Dang.  The glitter, people, THE GLITTER.  It's so sparkly and lovely!


This is the dress Elle Fanning wore to the Maleficent premiere (in case the poster in the background didn't clue you in), and I've loved it ever since I first saw it on her!  Iddn't it pwetty?!?!  The details (tiny littler flower appliqués) are so whimsical and delightful, and so well-befitting the Sleeping Beauty :)

What do you all think of these dresses?  
Had you seen most of them before?  
Do you have a favorite "go-to" red carpet lady?

    Ohhhhhh . . . what pretty dresses! I think I have to say I like Cate Blanchett's best--the color is just perfect.

    Daisy Ridley is rapidly becoming my favorite-red-carpet-actress, actually. Have you SEEN some of the dresses she's been wearing lately to all the Star Wars events?? The girl has style. No kidding.

    This is one of the best ones: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/12/27/14/2FA16EE900000578-0-image-m-56_1451228026726.jpg

    I love purple :-)

      It's such a lovely color for Cate, no?

      Ahhh, yes! She definitely has got a style sense. That purple is lovely on her! I'm not a huuuuuge fan of the cut and style of some of the dresses, but I do like how geometrical and interesting they are.

      Interesting--that's the word! I don't think most of what I've seen her wearing would look good on ME, but they seem to suit her really well . . . which is why I love them :-)

    Red Carpet Eye Candy? OHYESPLEASE! :D
    Hailee's is so red and silky and that skirt....wow. <3
    Oh, Bailey's is very unique...I've never seen anything like it!
    Gah, Cate Blanchett ALWAYS looks amazing. ;) She looks super good in that colour. I think I would look awful in that colour myself, but I don't look anything like her. Hehe. ;D
    Wow, yes, I DO like that purple dress...it almost looks like a costume ladies wore in Ancient Greece.
    I love the skirt on the blue dress! (Not that top part, but the colour and the skirt!! Wow!!)
    Glitters. Sparkles. WOW. That's...bright.
    Oh, Elle's is my favourite out of all of these! :D I think she was about my age when she wore that (although I think it looks a LITTLE grown up for a young girl...still, it's gorgeous). I love the shoulder line look, and the blue and the skirt and the flowers and the detail and EVERYTHING. She has very pale skin, though, so I don't think it would look half as good on me, 'cause I have dark/olive skin. Oh well, I doubt I'll be needing that dress for a red carpet event for myself, anytime soon, haha. ;P
    And just so you know, I only remember seeing Cate's dress (on TV, actually) and Elle's dress before! But I still looked at them the most. :P

      Meg, I KNOW, RIGHT?! I think I would look awful in that color, too, but she has the perfect coloring for it!

      Yes, doesn't it just bring the word "Grecian" to mind?

      Haha, indeed ;) Don't you just wish you could go to a red carpet event just to wear/see the dresses?! Ahh, good point. It DOES look a BIT "grown up", perhaps--I adore that look, but I keep feeling like there's something just the littlest bit "off" about it…maybe that's it?

    Oh my!!! As soon as I read the title, I frantically clicked on it. :) OOOhhh, red carpet dresses are the best. (Most of the time. ) Yet another reason to be an actress. :)

    I actually love all of these. With a few minor adjustments, I would wear all of them.

    First one: Not normally a fan of red, but this is effortlessly gorgeous. And it's modest to!

    Second one: Aww, this is so cute!! I love the cape. And the flowers.

    Third one: Cate Blanchett always has impeccable style. I love that dress.

    I love Lupita and Elle's.. They are both wonderful. The others are lovely to of course.

    Thanks for this post, I love these ones. :)

    MAH FAVOURITE TOPIC. :-D

    Wow, that first red one is QUITE somethin. And the cape-one, too.
    CATE BALNCHETTS AND LUPITA'S. YES. :-D

    I'm also a big biiig fan of Lily James' fashion sense. I LOVE this dress she wore to the Golden Globes a few weeks ago. http://cdn-img.people.com/emstag/styles/760x735/s3/i/2016/01/10/lily-james-drupal.jpg?itok=BEa3zFpe
    And I also LOOOVE the dress she wore to the Cinderella premier - you know, the blue one.

      Yaaaaaasssss. Ooh, ooh, Lily James! She's become a "go-to red carpet lady" for me. I've yet to see her in anything really immodest; she always looks lovely. Wow, that is gorgeous! And yes, the Cinderella one. I've been drooling over the Cinderella one for months :D

    Cate Blanchett's is gorgeous! I want one! ;)

    But I must say, Elle Fanning's outfit looks nice waist down, but the choker and hairstyle don't sit right with me...

    I LOVE Lupita's dress. The color and the cut of it is stunning.

    And then the Sparkle Dress (that's it's official name now) is my other favorite. It would be like wearing stars.

    A tad off topic, but I finally watched Amazing Grace, and it was just as good as I thought it was going to be if not better. It was so moving and powerful while remaining (for the most part) lighthearted. Iz beautiful. I want to rewatch it!

      LUPITA'S DRESSS.

      Eeeeeeek! I love that: "it would be like wearing stars". Yasssss.

      YOU WATCHED IT! Isn't it gorgeous? Yes, it's so great how it can be moving and full of depth without being depressing.

    That's funny, I was just thinking about red carpet dresses . . . I enjoy finding them here because I know if you post them, they'll be modest as well as gorgeous. I think my favorite was Bailey Madison's dress.

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
