Most people look forward to checking out the fashion and who's wearing what (or more importantly, almost wearing - Brandi whatsherface anyone??? Not that anyone was looking at her face. A fashion correspondent??? Irony, anyone?). It could be disputed the red carpet is far more of interest, and way more entertaining than the actual
Come on, you know it's true.
Personally I am way more entertained by the spectacular fashion fails (Bjork, anyone?) than the so-called 'good' stuff. I mean, these gals have a year and a bazillion stylists and designers clamouring to dress them and they turn up wearing THAT?
There is one particular person that I look forward to seeing all year and who time after time never disappoints.
She lives up to (and beyond) the reputation for British eccentricity and despite a pretty face and a lovely body, year after year she persists in looking like some sort of bag lady who accidentally stumbled onto the red carpet (usually with hair looking like she's had a close call with a few security guards).
The best part of her is that she clearly just doesn't give a f*!k. She's totally taking the piss out of every starlet, C grade
Which makes it even funnier.
Of course I could only be talking about the inimitable Helena Bonham-Carter.
So it was with enormous disappointed that she regaled us with this year's dress (see right) which, truly, really, I actually kinda like. It's flattering and I'm a huge fan of sheer black and white combos.
And it's like she's just phoning it in with only a few token straggly pieces of hair but otherwise looking quite respectable.
I'm devastated.
I feel like she's given up. Will next year see her polished and wearing (gasp!) matching shoes????
Don't do it, Helena. I can't take another year of this disappointment.
