My Top 5 Red Carpet Looks So Far

-
As you all know, I love looking at red carpets and picking out which dresses I like.  I've had a series going for a while now on looks that catch my eye; and today I thought it might be fun to share 'the cream of the crop,' as far as I'm concerned. ;)  


I went through and decided which were my favorites fairly quickly, so this list might not be entirely accurate.  But it is to the best of my current knowledge and recollection, though of course it's subject to change at a moment's notice. :-P

Some of these I've shared before and some of them are new, but you'll see an affinity for clean lines, draping, simplicity, elegance, originality, delicate jewelry & makeup accents, and thoughtful color selection in my choices.  

Hope you enjoy! :)


. . . . . . . . . . 

Actress: Rachel Brosnahan

What I love:
  • the color: absolutely the perfect shade of red for her
  • the style: it's not one I would wear myself, but it's unique without being strange, and I love it
  • the styling & makeup


Actress: Emma Watson

What I love:
  • the halter neckline
  • the gauzy swishy-ness of the skirt/slit
  • the fact that she chose white shoes to keep the continuity
  • the hairdo


Actress: Emma Stone

What I love:
  • the dual shades of pink, especially with her red hair
  • crop top pieces often remind me of Jasmine
  • how they chose the lighter shade to be the top piece
  • this is so unabashedly girly and fun: it's not really dramatic, just happy
  • the little gold clutch


Lawyer: Amal Clooney

What I love:
  • THE COLOR:  I get unreasonably excited when I see someone pulling off the color yellow, especially a light yellow
  • the ruching/pleating/whatever that is on the bodice
  • the almost pin curly hairstyle
  • the pop of red in her earrings & lip color
  • you can't really see it in this picture, but the swish is real with this dress


Model: Winnie Harlow

What I love:
  • this fabric: whatever it is, it has stars and ocean depths shining out of it and don't even argue with me
  • hair & earrings
  • the cut of the dress: it just wraps and plunges and billows into this frothy confection of aqua royalty


. . . . . . . . . . 





Heehee, just kidding. ;)  What are some of your favorite red carpet looks?  Or, do you not give a rip about such frippery?

    Oh man. You've picked some gorgeous dresses here.
    I would be most likely to pick the red one for myself. It's elegant but seems comfortable for a dress and I love jewel tones.
    The blue one is so gorgeous though and I especially love the way you described it :DDD

      Thanks!

      I love jewel tones, too. And I know, it's just such a lovely creation. <3

      Aww, thanks. I had fun trying to figure out how to describe it :D

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

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 reviewin...

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 Capul...

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 ...
