Red Carpet: Crazy Stupid Pockets, Friends With Penis Dresses
Friday, July 22, 2011 at 8:00PM Nathaniel: For this episode of Red Carpet Convos, I'm joined by our resident fashion-obsessive Jose and Guy Lodge of In Contention. We begin with a Lineup, culled from the premieres of Friends With Benefits, Horrible Bosses, and Captain America, respectively. This triple feature is now available at your local multiplex.
Emma Stone, Jennifer Aniston, Captain & Love Interest, Somebody
Guy: Oh, I see why you got me for this one
Jose: hehe I see Jen again
Nathaniel: Guy, I should admit right up front that I think Jen looks hot here and I mean that both ways.
Jose: is that thing made out of leather?
Nathaniel: Right? IN THE SUMMER.
Guy: Ha! I like that, in playing her first real vamp character, she's committed to the cause off-camera
It's like something Angie would have worn back when she was still fun.
Nathaniel: Spoken like a totally biased member of Team Aniston. Grrrr! I'm sorry but the news told me that it's over 100˚ outside -- I'm pretending outside doesn't exist (curtains drawn, air conditioning at full blast) -- so i can't even deal looking at this.
Guy: But it's short! At least her legs are breathing.
Jose: speaking of which, both Jen & Angie tend to do the same over and over when it comes to clothes, so I'm actually thrilled that this time Jen gave her standard look (black and mini) a slight twist
Guy: That's a very good point -- and the hair looks a little choppier and more summery. (Sorry, this is getting stalker-y on my part)
Jose: I still never will get dress pockets though, especially in such a tiny dress, does she have her whips and feathered handcuffs in there?
Nathaniel: Or mash notes from Guy. And a restraining order.
Guy: I'm all for dress pockets. Why should guys get all the comfort?
Jose: because we don't get to have fabulous bags * sad face *
Guy: I like stars who go a little bit casual (but still chic) for premieres -- save the real glamour for awards season, otherwise we'll never know when it ends.
Nathaniel: Point: Guy. But I don't approve of pockets on anything unless they're holding treats inside for pets... or hungry fans.
Guy: Anyway, at leat Jen's pockets aren't on the OUTSIDE of her dress. What's going on with Emma Stone?
Jose: don't mess with Lanvin, Guy!
Nathaniel: Her pockets are big enough to fit other starlets inside. If those are indeed pockets. I feel compelled to tell you that this is my least favorite color combination that has yet been invented.
Jose: her dress makes me sad for two reasons. it's obviously from the collection where Juli got hers for January and i think they would've been MUCH better if they had switched them, apparently pale redheads dig crazy pink Lanvin? I do think it's a fantastic, bold look though, a bit too old for Emma maybe, but I loooooove it
Guy: I actually like the red-pink clashing and the mini-Alexis Carrington shoulders... but it'd look so nice and trim without the sewn-on clutch bags. (I realise she's going to see Horrible Bosses, but how many flasks does she need to carry with her?)
Nathaniel: Actually she was at Friends With Benefits so back off. Flasks fully justified.
Guy: I'm glad she's a redhead again, though, even though she's a natural blonde, and even though I usually criticise starlets for doing the reverse... it's all very confusing.
Nathaniel: Yes.
Nathaniel: Moving on. Every time I try to think about what to say about Captain America and his love interest (Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell) I fall asleep.
Jose: LOL. I resent that this Chris Evans person is trying to pretend he's all geeky and stuff now, every time I see him all Benjamin Button-ized in the trailer I want to kick his ass
Guy: Is that Chris Evans? I didn't recognise him behind his cunning "look, I'm smart" disguise. And without his abs.
Nathaniel: Is he going for a Clark Kent thing here or is he ready to let himself go since he's said that those grueling two hour workouts to look like a super soldier made him want to vomit daily?
Jose: He's just being a drama queen. If I had those abs I would not bother with clothes EVER.
THERE'S MORE: Chris Evan abs (in motion), Ryan Gosling's perfection, Vanessa's unfortunate frock, Hayley Atwell's identity crisis and the über sexy cast of Crazy Stupid Love at their premiere AFTER THE JUMP.
