Berlin tempted a handful of celebrities away from Hollywood during awards season for their annual film festival.
Elle Fanning in Valentino
Embed from Getty ImagesControversial opinion alert: I love this. She’s a modern-day Little Red Riding Hood, and while that story is exceptionally disturbing when you dig a little, Elle looks like she stepped out of a fairy tale.
Toni Garrn in Boss
Embed from Getty ImagesNice, but boring. The 90’s column dress with spaghetti straps has never been, nor ever will be, my thing.
Greta Gerwig in Valentino
Embed from Getty ImagesThis has so many elements I like. The princess silhouette. The whimsical pattern. The sparkles. The fact that it’s Valentino. But I still don’t like it. I think it needs 50% less sheer, and maybe a black background instead of the drab tan?
Patricia Clarkson in Christian Siriano
Embed from Getty ImagesLovely. I would wear this in a heartbeat.
Helen Mirren in Rami Al Ali
Embed from Getty ImagesClassy as always. Is she even capable of looking bad?
Tilda Swinton in Chanel
Embed from Getty ImagesThis is classic Tilda. Taken virtually unchanged from its runway presentation, this is…really something. I gotta give her credit though, she makes a very chic female Charlie Chaplin.
Isabelle Huppert
Embed from Getty ImagesJust the coolest, as always. Is there some kind of black magic I can use to trade places with her for a day? I literally cannot imagine what it would feel like to be that coo. Sigh…
Mia Wasikowska in Prada
Embed from Getty ImagesThis is fine. Mia tends to stick with a pretty monochromatic palette can be boring.
Mia Wasikowska in Givenchy
Embed from Getty ImagesSee? The best I can tell, this dress was originally shown in a lovely red and pink, so Mia must have specially requested a version in boring, basic black. Which…why??
Patricia Clarkson
Embed from Getty ImagesFabulous! Her clutch reads “Women of the World, Unite!”, and sadly I don’t have a designer credit for it or the dress.
Emily Mortimer in Novis
Embed from Getty ImagesI like this quite a bit. It’s actually very similar to my senior prom dress, which makes me all sorts of nostalgic.
