Red Carpet Sans Chatter. And Michelle Williams.
Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 12:11PM So busy online with Oscar speeches, final predictions, and sprucing up the Oscar charts for posterity (ongoing though now you can see results of the reader's polls -- that's you! -- in the big six categories) and so busy offline with [insert non-cinematic things here, mostly involving earning moneys to keep this cinematic blog going] that we never had a chance to talk movie event fashions in the buildup to Oscar.
So herewith, talented beauties at recent premieres, awards nights and festivals we meant to chatter about. ...presented without chatter (though maybe you'll add some).
Marcia Gay Harden, Sandy Powell and Rooney Mara at the CDG Awards. Penelope Ann Miller & Missi Pyle (who we were just monologuing with) at a Hollywood Reporter Pre-Oscar event.
Sibel Kekilli, Léa Seydoux (did you love her in M:I-GP? I totes did), Christina Ricci and Charlotte Gainsbourg at Berlinale.
Malin Akerman and Jennifer Aniston at the LA premiere of Wanderlust and Angelina Jolie and Michelle Williams at different premieres in France.

Presented without chatter not in honor of a certain buzzing silent film, just for lack of time. It seemed wasteful to not share the photos after editing.
Presented without chatter but for to say, Christina Ricci!!! Post Pan Am won't someone give that career a solid role again. Also: Michelle Williams and Angelina Jolie both sure surprised with more extravagant (for them) looks. We'll see half of them again at the Oscars. Who is going to wear what? Can't wait.
P.S. Care to guess what color / style Michelle Williams wears on Oscar night? She's already burned through black, pink, blue, red, and an array of champagney off white. Though black and white paired seems to be the preferred fall back. Winner wins bragging rights and... something. She's less predictable with the palette than Rooney & Glenn & Meryl among the non-Viola Best Actress nominees.

I'm guessing/hoping that Michelle will be inspired by Kikis great Cannes-look and go mustard yellow!
I think she'll wear pink again. I really don't like her quinceañera looks.
Mysjkin -- but maybe Kiki was inspired by Michelle's 2006 Oscar look!
I was going to say white for Williams, but she did that LAST year. I honestly have no clue. I'll say golden just for the hell of it.
I say purple.
And can I say how much I love red and pink (together). First Emma Stone and now Malin Akerman rock the peanut butter and chocolate of sartorial colors.
P.S. I love that Penelope Ann Miller's back on Hollywood's radar -- she seems so grateful to be -- and that Missi Pyle, who sure is skinny, also has a reason to be everywhere.
P.P.S. Christina Ricci looks chic and delicious. More, please!
Nathaniel: My Oscarfashion memory bank is clearly not what it should be! ;) But hey, she looked great in 2006, so at least I didn't miss the mark on what would suit her :)
