Harry Potter Fashion Roundup!

 

All of them looked great at the London Premiere, I love this picture of the four of them. It is so surreal to see Rowling stand next to the 3 people who have personified her main characters for the past 11 years.

Jo Rowling looks exceptionally lovely and elegant (I think it's cute how her and Watson have a little matchy-matchy going on here with the black lace). Rowling looks very age appropriate and I was glad there was no boobage at this premiere. Not that she doesn't look great for a 45 year old woman, but I think the elegance is more appropriate for a premiere and for an author of her stature.

Emma Watson is adorable in anything, even with her shocking new do, and I really like this dress, it is very fun, but I would have liked to see her in something more glamorous. This looks like something you would wear to the VMA's to me. What I love about her style is that she knows how to be sexy and have fun with fashion without looking like a total slut. The dress is age appropriate and kinda risky without being over the top.

Dan Radcliffe was smart to wear blue. He always looks so miniaturized in a suit, like a tiny Ken doll or something, I think that blue really suits him with those piercing eyes he has, and keeps the traditional wear from being too stuffy and boring. He looks dapper!

Rupert Grint (or as Regis Philbin likes to call him "The Grint") is surprising well dressed! Usually he shows up in a tee-shirt, jeans, and Converse shoes which reflect his laid back personality. I couldn't believe when he showed up to the L.A. Order of the Phoenix premiere in a white Tee with an image of Radcliffe's Harry on it. That was a definite LOL moment. Although I will miss his Keep Calm and Carry On Tee if he doesn't unearth it for the final Potter press rounds. 

 

I don't know if they all coordinated "let's all wear black" for the New York premiere, and I know that they are probably mourning the end of the series, but this is a premiere not a funeral.

Watson's dress was BORING! If Calvin Klein was going to CUSTOM DESIGN a dress for me, I would certainly pick something more exciting than an LBD. I would also probably be trying to overcompensate for my lack of hair, but maybe she is trying to streamline her look down to something very simple? 

Again Radcliffe looks great in blue, Rupert dusted off another suit to look dashing, and Ralph Fiennes is probably just waiting for his hair to grow back (I didn't know that he shaved it for his Voldie Villian role).

It is great to see Tom Felton less pale, the color and liveliness really suits him and I am sure he is so glad to not be dying his hair platinum blond any more.

Bonnie Wright looked absolutely AMAZING at both premieres last time around. She is a beautiful girl, but absolutely everything about this outfit is wrong. She is so covered up, her lipstick is too dark, and her hair looks dreadful. Plus, who wears stockings anymore? And what is hanging down the front of her dress, a tie? Again, she looks like she is going to a funeral, not a premiere.

This is a perfect example of Lace Gone Wrong. She looks like she fashioned this dress from some Victorian curtains (and with no magical help what-so-ever) Come on Clemence, you are playing the hott Veela chick, sex it up a little. You are British, not Amish! Since when are hardback books a fashionable accessory?

Okay, Poesy's and Wright's outfits were bad, but this is barfable! Katie Leung! Cho Chang! You are the cute little Asian girl Harry has his first kiss with, look cuter! Didn't Potter give you girls enough money to buy yourselves cute dresses? Pea-Green and brown with purple iridescent lip stick...can you get any uglier? 

Felton is the only actor who consistently brings his main squeeze along to events. And she always dresses nice too! I cannot get over how much older she looks than him, but I can see why he wants to show her off.

They looked much more laid back at the New York premiere and I love the button down shirt with the jacket on Felton (it is much less stuffy than a tie). I think that the slits are a bit too many in the girls' red dress, but at least she splashed some color into the event.

Strangely enough, I like the brown suit he wore to the London premiere and the way he offset it with the light blue tie, it's cute and fun! His girlfriend looks much more glamorous than the female Potter stars (hope they took note).

Of course as I said before Watson looks great no matter what. I hated her pixie cut at first, but now I find myself loving it. It is very symbolic for her to shed her Hermione hair and transition into her adult life. I am not a fan of the trinket in her hair however, a headband would have been okay, but face it...YOUR HAIR IS PRACTICALLY NON EXISTENT EMMA, you don't need any adornments to hold your style in place.

Now here is a girl who got it right! You may not recognize Evanna Lynch aka Luna Lovegood without her pale blond hair, but here she is looking sophisticated, glamorous, and age appropriate. The dress and shoes are very shimmery and even though the pale pink hue is close to her skin tone she still pops with that newly red hair and pretty makeup. LOVE IT!

Jamie Campbell Bower...what is there to say...I doubt that he would have looked much different even without the injury. He is the only new character in the bunch of Potter fashionistas discussed here but he really shouldn't have a very large role. He probably attended mainly due to his romantic affiliation to Bonnie Wright. He looks very sloppy. I am not sure if he painted his toes for the occasion or if that is dried blood leftover from his foot injury, but either way I say EW!

And the WORST HAIR AWARD GOES TO: Helena Bonham Carter as always, although this look is actually pretty tame for her. I like the dress, I think it is pretty and weird and bold in a good way (just like her!) Thank you for some color on the Potter carpet Bellatrix! You don't look like a scary Death Eater (just a hot mess)!

DWTS Ep. 9 (Aired 11-15-10)

Brandy

First Dance: I get that the Pasodoble is the love/hate dance but this was a bit strange and awkward. What was with Maks’s shoes? Were they tennis shoes? It seemed very modern and nontraditional, and I didn’t think her solo was very up to snuff.

My score: 9

Second Dance: Ooh, sexy outfit, Brandy! I think they spent a bit too long up on the platform, but I thought that this dance was much more passionate and sexy than the first one. It was very suave and sensual which the two of them do so well.

My score: 10

Bristol Palin

First Dance: Swishing her cape can be considered a solo. There is still stiffness in her body and I just get the overwhelming feeling that she is holding hack. It was her best dance so far, and her big hair helped give her some personality and sex appeal. She hit all her marks well, but I just wish that she could get rid of that vacant stare.  

My score: 9

Second Dance: She still looks bored. Her eyes are unchanging, she just looks very pretentious. The music was very bizarre, I didn’t know if it was religious or from a fantasy movie soundtrack. It felt rather strange, but it was pretty and haunting.  

My score: 9

Jennifer Grey

First Dance: Her solo was apropos they just put a smile on my face. She is so joyous when she dances. Great song, I totally get why she wanted to dance to it. It is so hard to believe that she is twice his age when you watch the two of them perform. I loved it, it was adorable.

My score: 10

Second Dance: I loved her dress! Beautiful, angelic, graceful, heartfelt, simplistic, free…She stuns me!

My score: 10

Kyle Massey:

First Dance: He has come even further than Bristol. He is absolutely adorable. He kept up so well with Lacey and he brought fun, charm and excitement. Loved it, like always. His technique was spot on and

My score: 10

Second Dance: OMG, I could not believe that they were dancing to the song from Slumdog Millionaire. He has really become an accomplished dancer and he always impresses me! Fun and exciting like always!

My score: 9

Surprises: Bristol really shocked me; I guess it makes me wonder if even the worst dancers are given a chance can they really improve tremendously?

Disappointments: NONE!

Watch-ability: Best night of dancing so far, and nothing was cringe-worthy or uncomfortable.

Who is getting my votes? Kyle: 5 I wanna see him next week more than Bristol!

Who should get the boot? Bristol is still the weakest link, and has the worst scores.

ANTM Ep. 9 & 10

It is clear from this photo that Liz was right to go last week. She posed great as a man but she just looks like a whore in this photo, and she was getting on my nerves : ) Kayla and Jane both looked so amazing in these period costumes, I really enjoyed watching this shoot and wished the girls had been a bit stronger as a whole.

I think that Chelsey is probably the strongest girl in the bunch. She is mature, sophisticated, smart, experienced, and strong. Plus, she has the right look to go commercial or high fashion. She knows more about fashion than any of the other girls and is the most appreciative of all the amazing opportunities. I love her look, and she has been in my top two favorites during this competition. I think she deserves to win, and if she doesn't win the competition I hope that 1) she at least gets best photo before she's eliminated and 2) doing the show will get her noticed and help get her foot into high fashion.

That being said, I love Kayla's look and she is the other one of my favorites. She is the girl I want to win. It is so admirable how far she has come and it is great that she has been able to overcome her difficulties in modeling with men. She is such a passionate person and so down to Earth, you can't help but to root for this girl who went from a pauper who used to sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag to a high fashion princess who's wildest dreams within her grasp.

DWTS Ep. 8 (Aired 11-8-10)

Brandy:

First Dance: It was beautiful, romantic, and elegant. This competition means so much to her, I am surprised that she didn’t make Carrie Ann cry. They are such a well suited couple and it is great to see their chemistry become so strong. It was technically perfect and amazing to watch.

My score: 10

Second Dance: I thought it was fun, cute, and upbeat. I agree with Carrie Ann that it was weird that they didn’t start dancing right away, but I also agree with Maks that “instant dance” doesn’t necessarily mean dance instantly…That was all rather awkward in scoring…

My score: 9

Bristol Palin:

First Dance: She is still just stiff and awkward. She has improved a bit, but I don’t see any conviction or passion for the routine. She just has one look she doesn’t have differing expressions. It was her best dance, but she is still the weakest dancer.

My score: 8

Second Dance: She looked rather lost at times and really struggled here. All I got from this dance was that she has learned how to shake her ta ta’s but she is over the competition, you can tell. She can’t compete with the others talent and she is still a bore.

My score: 7

Jennifer Grey:

First Dance: It is so heartbreaking that her body cannot keep up with her talent. I was sad to see Derek was dancing for her a bit because of her problematic knee. She looked adorable and it was a very fun and well executed routine. She really impresses me and as much as she seems to be falling apart in rehearsal she always seems to pull it together on show night!

My score: 8

Second Dance: She is so technically precise and her flexibility and stamina is amazing. I have a hard time believing she is 50. Their dance seemed to be a bit slower than the music at times, but she is such an amazing sexy swan.

My score: 10

Kurt Warner:

First Dance: I still noticed how huge his dinner plate hands looked but he is so suave and graceful on the floor for such a big guy. I am always impressed with his performance and charisma; he is so joyous on the dance floor. 

My score: 8

Second Dance: He kept up with Anna really well in this routine. He was energetic and fun and the surprise song didn’t seem to affect his performance. He didn’t seem lost or off at any moment I was very impressed!

My score: 9

Kyle Massey:

First Dance: His feet were still a bit funky but he has improved so much technically and he looked like a serious accomplished dancer in this routine. Very suave, joyous, and mature, I didn’t giggle, I took him seriously. LOVED IT!

My score: 9

Second Dance: He went a little off just a few times but he did amazing considering the short rehearsal time. It was fun, cute, energetic, and such a joy to watch! Very impressive and adorable tricks and gimmicks! LOVED IT AGAIN!

My score: 9

Surprises: The way that Maks and Carrie Ann went at it! I was embarrassed for Brandy. Maks is sure hotheaded.

Disappointments: I feel so sad that Jennifer is having to endure so much pain to get through the competition and it is unfortunate that her body cannot keep up with her spirit.

Watch-ability: This was a fabulous night, probably the best quality of dancing so far!

Who is getting my votes? Brandy: 2, Kyle: 1, Jennifer: 2

Who should get the boot? BRISTOL THE BORE! What is the entire state of Alaska voting for her? 

All pics are from Facebook fanpage : )

DWTS Ep. 7 (Aired 11-1-10)

Brandy: What is this BS about Brandy not feeling sexy? She was sizzling on that stage, I’m sure it didn’t hurt having Maks as a partner. The technique was amazing and she was so into her character. It is unfortunate that she just made a little mistake.

My score: 10

Bristol Palin:  I can’t get over how chunky she looked next to Mark. She didn’t commit to her movements with intensity and she just looked vacant. It wasn’t nearly as charming as Kelly’s rendition, but at least her technique is improving. She sounded like she’s been taking talking lessons from Audrina…

My score: 7

Jennifer Grey: She did an excellent job with the intensity and the technique. Huge improvement from last week, but I still feel like she was missing her facial expressions. It was sharp and on the mark, great finish to a great night!

My score: 9

Kurt Warner: I don’t think this was a very exciting dance for him to recreate. I think he did a good job maintaining his posture in hold, and moved fluidly on the floor. I liked it!

My score: 8

Kyle Massey: The dance was so awesome to begin with I really enjoyed it the second time around too. He did an excellent job following up Maks! I thought it was awesome how serious and committed he was to his movements. I was giggling but I believed him as the angry and intense manly man.  

My score: 9

Rick Fox: I guess he couldn’t jump off the stage which was a bit of a disappointment because that was the best part of Helio’s routine. He looked like a leprechaun pimp in that outfit. Their greens didn’t match…They didn’t look like they were dancing on tempo. Their routine felt slow in comparison to the music. He went over the top with those expressions. It was off time, and felt awkward to me, I didn’t like it.

My score: 7

Surprises: Teams Kristi and Apollo were not evenly distributed as far as talent goes. Kristi did not pick the strongest dancers that she could have. I get that Mark was her partner when they won the competition, but HE’S WITH BRISTOL!!! WTF? Those groups were not fair.    

Disappointments: I cannot believe that Gilles didn’t give Brandy a 10! I know that Jennifer is not 20, but it is so sad to see her bring herself down, she started so strong in the competition, but it seems to be catching up to her : (

Watch-ability: The dance recreations were creative and interesting.

Who is getting my votes? Brandy 2, Jennifer 3, Kyle 1

Who should get the boot? BRISTOL!!! Who is voting for this CHICK? She needs to GO!!! Is all of Alaska backing her or something?

DWTS Ep. 6 (Aired 10-25-10)

Audrina Patridge: She looked a bit zombiesque. I don’t know if she looked that intense she just looked rather angry. Her emotions don’t travel all the way to her eyes. I think she is good, but she is just lacking that oomph.  

My score: 7

Bristol Palin: I think she was channeling Violet Beauregarde in that outfit. She was just portraying a stern stare. It was an improvement, but still boring, at least she didn’t get totally lost and appeared to be attempting to look like a dancer. I appreciated her enthusiasm this week for the competition though.

My score: 7

Brandy: I think hers was my favorite crazy outfit of the night! They are the couple with the best chemistry. This dance had energy, intensity, and oomph. It reminde3d me of when Maks and Mel were so strong together! It is clear she put everything she had into that! It was awesome that she ended the show with a punch!

My score: 9

Jennifer Grey: She looked angry! This was such a great dance for her to let loose and show what she is capable of. She was sure feisty for such a little thing! Like a firework! She did loose control a bit which I noticed at the end, but I thought she did well through most of the routine.

My score: 8

Kurt Warner: What was up with the Star Wars outfit? I liked the outfits but they didn’t fit the song. This was the most intense and energetic I had seen him dance. He looked like he had lost some weight and was really into this dance. It was his best dance so far! The judges were messed up! It was certainly entertaining to watch!

My score: 9

Kyle Massey: His and Lacey’s outfits did not match which bothered me. He was very energetic but he looked like he struggled a bit. He seemed to be improving his footwork this week which I was glad to see the judges acknowledge.

My score: 8

Rick Fox: His silver Mohawk made me giggle. The dance felt like it was lacking energy and felt slow in comparison to the music. He kept the intensity up and performed well, but it didn’t wow me.

My score: 7

Surprises: I LOVED Kurt’s performance, I think the judges were way out of line in how badly they scored him, he deserved WAY better! Disappointments: Seeing Jennifer struggle so much is disappointing, but I think the judges are being too hard on her.

Watch-ability: I didn’t know that they were going to show the whole dance of the top 10 dances of all time and I really enjoyed seeing them! Strangely enough, I think I liked watching Shawn Johnson’s #10 spot dance the best!  

Who is getting my votes? Brandy: 2, Jennifer: 2, Kurt: 2, Kyle: 1

Who should get the boot? BRISTOL THE BORE!!!

ANTM Ep.7 Aired 10-20-10

I can't say that I was that fond of the photoshoot this week, because it wasn't very exciting and I didn't think that it was fair that some girls had to portray men and others got to portray women. It's obvious that it is a lot easier to play your own sex even if they are an extreme character. Both Esther and Jane both struggled on just how to stand correctly.

I was glad to see Liz rock it though especially considering that she didn't know who the designer was. However I do think she got lucky in a way but I couldn't help but be happy that she knocked Ann off the top! GO LIZ!

I was glad to see Chelsey redeem herself this week because she really is one of my favorite girls and I think her look is so interesting. She did well in this photoshoot which was needed after that dress catastrophe that Ann put her in for the Grammy Challenge.

Kendall has been so incredibly boring from the beginning, that I wasn't sad to see her go at all. She clearly has no clue what she is doing and her whole portfolio that was shown at the end when they went through each of her photos was BLAH!

I really did not care for this photo of Ann at all, I don't think she looked at all like the designer mostly because they didn't give her the right kind of hair, they needed to give her a wig similar to Esther's for her to truly embody the designer fellow. She clearly did not deserve best photo this week. ICK

Did anyone else think that the photographer was a hottie? More of him please Tyra!
