Royal Toil
Cate Blanchett plays Queen Mother at the Berlin Film Festival premiere of The Missing. She's simply sovereign in a royal blue strapless ball gown, with dangling crown jewel earrings, a noble bob and dainty Jimmy Choo heels. Even with her heir pretty apparent, Blanchett manages to make expectations look great. Long may Cate the Great rule the red carpet!
Droop Dread
Kirsten Dunst has us hanging by a thread at Louis Vuitton's 150th-anniversary celebration in New York. Her mid-calf, hip-sashed silver satin Vuitton halter dress is straining to provide the buxom babe with enough support. And Dunst's dreadful posture, combined with her new supershort gamine haircut, doesn't do much for her sex appeal. Won't someone tell this Spider-Man squeeze she's no slouch? Straighten up and fly right!
Noir Thank You
Nicky Hilton is a regular Samantha Spade, Private Eye, at the Gotham and Los Angeles Confidential party in New York. She's sniffing for fashion clues in a pinstripe jacket, navy silk charmeuse top, satin cigarette slacks, spike heels and a fedora tilted over one eye. Hey, if she needs any help, all she's gotta do is whistle. You know how to whistle, doncha, doll? Take a lesson from your sister's Net flick--just put your lips together and blow.
Six Feet Blunder
Daryl Hannah casts a real pall over the Marc Jacobs fashion show during New York Fall Fashion Week. Her widow's weeds--frumpy funereal black satin and crepe frock, tweedy overcoat, clunky black ankle-strap heels and creepy fishnet stockings--are depressing enough, but her embalmed expression and mournfully messy mop make us want to dig our own graves. Hey, isn't fashion supposed to be fun?
