Red Scare
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Now that Catherine Zeta-Jones has arrived, everyone else on the red carpet has something else to fear: Getting upstaged. She looks ravishing in a red Versace number. Jones looks as if she’s been pasted with exotic fish scales. That cascade of carefree black hair adds to the drama. More long languid curls from Nicole Kidman. Kelly Lynch keeps mispronouncing the name of the designer who created her gown: She says, Zac Po-ZEN, as if he’s some old-school French couturier who’s renowned for ancient tailoring. Actually, he’s a 20-something upstart who’s most acclaimed for his designs’ novelties. Zac PO-zen’s a star � trust me. But his brilliance dims slightly with the overblown “jellyfish” dress Lynch is wearing. No gray area anymore: Nicole Kidman’s one flawless female. She’s wearing Chanel couture to perfection. Karl Lagerfeld � who photographs Nicole on occasion � has oudone himself. To borrow the title of a Kingsley film, look at that “Sexy Beast” Charlize. Miss Theron sparkles in a jet-beaded Gucci slip. Uma, Gosh!!! What is up with that milkmaid get-up Uma Thurman’s wearing? Makes you wanna switch to the non-alcoholic version of St. Pauli’s Girl beer, no? Missing the mark? I wonder if that unassuming flapper-style dress Sofia Coppola is wearing befits such an occasion. She could win as best director.Permalink | | Categories: Fashion
