Eclipse Premiere Fashion

(These pics are from the UK after party but were cooler than the LA forum so I said screw it)

THE TWILIGHT SAGA ECLIPSE LA PREMIERE:

So it was that time again for the boys and girls of the Saga cast to put on their dapper/glam duds and strut their stuff down the red carped lined with crazed screaming fans to usher in Eclipse. For the most part the cast looked fair. Only a couple dazzled me, a few left me wondering what the hell they were thinking and most looked well just fine. Here are my pics for the best and worst dressed at the LA premiere as well as a couple of cast mates that I find I am still sitting on the fence pondering.

Best dressed:

Julia Jones in Marchasa. I totally did a breath suck in when I first saw the pics of Julia. This beaded mini showed off her amazingly toned body and beautiful skin and there was nothing about this entire look that I did not like. She was all VA VA VA VOOM and then some

Tinsel Korey in ? (if you know the designer pass it along)

The wolf pack girls totally left everyone in the dust and Tinsel's floor length black beaded gown fit her like a glove ( I picked a side shot here but the front view beading and neckline were beautiful) and boy did she have no problem vamping it up for the photogs that lined the red carpet. She played Hollywood vixen to the hilt and looked amazing doing it.

Bryce Dallas Howard in vintage Dior. I know that I will probably get some crap for this choice but frankly I don't care. Bryce is the epitome of old Hollywood glamor in this gorgeous yellow gown. The color of the gown complemented the creaminess of her skin and the brilliance of that blaze of red hair. It was perhaps a bit to Oscar(y) for a movie premiere but the total effect of her look took my breath away.

Worst dressed:

Elisbeth Reaser in Zuhair Murad. The Cullen clan women just about killed me with the looks they chose to wear to the premiere. Lizzy and Nikki looked like they came straight from a matinee show of the ice-capades. I absolutely hated both of their dresses This two-toned beaded mini was the worst of the two but not by much

Nikki Reed in Marchesa. Marchesa was the designer of the night. At least three of the cast were wearing the fashion houses creations. One I loved (Julia) one I hated (Nikki's) and one is a fence(r) and still to come. The one good thing I can say for Nikki is that she has a smile that could melt the coldest of hearts and a flawless face. I just wish she didn't look like Michelle Kwan at the Olympics.

Kristen Stewart in Elie Saab. The 1st few shots I saw of this dress (from the back) I thought WOW. Then she stood front and center and I went WTF? Wool was a strange choice for June and the dress was ill fitted (a on going theme in KStews fashion choices) The dress resembled AstroTurf and popcorn ceiling. I love that Kristen takes chances with her fashion. It's good to be daring when you are young. I just don't think her choices always work.

The on the fence(ers)

Robert Pattinson in Gucci. This is another choice I will get crap for though little of it will have to do with my dislike of the suit. I am a lover of Gucci and if this suit was on the catwalk or in an editorial spread I'd probably love him it it. I just don't think that this translates for me in the real world. Many people have commented on the daring of the suit and how boring other male members of the cast looked. But frankly I'll take a classic well fitted suit in a "boring" color (black,navy,grey) over this maroon number that is very similar to the color of my couch. I suppose though I should thank my lucky stars that he is clean with no holes in any part of the ensemble.

Dakota Fanning in Marchesa. This dress is lovely. Dakota is lovely and it is a look that I have seen on her many times before. The color may vary a few shades but there has been a very similar theme,cut and color to her choices. I hope for something with a bit more pop in the future.

Ashley Greene in Alexis Mabille. You know how people say that some women would look good even if they were just wearing a sheet? Well Ashley decided to test out that theory here. I just don't know how I feel about the deconstructed drapiness of this frock. The color also does not thrill me. She was however giving amazing hair and face (as usual) and I am sure any man would love to see her in her bed sheet dress first thing in the morning.
