I studied Russian in college, which means that I’m pretty pumped (and somewhat apprehensive) about the Anna Karenina movie that comes out today. It’s one of my favorite books of all time, so I’m quite curious to see how it will look on the big screen with a Hollywood budget. I’m also intrigued by the choice of casting Keira Knightley as the title character, and I’m wondering if she’ll really make the role work. Recently the actress attended the premier of the film in a pastel gown with flowers, and I’m a bit unsure of the look, too. Check it out and let us know what you think of it!
I’m a huge fan of fall fashion and, well, it’s November, so I expect to see lots of it. Which is why this very spring-ish gown stands out amidst a sea of dark colors. And, honestly, I can’t say I like the deviation! It’s a pretty dress, but it’s just not in season, and it looks like she’s attending prom or something. This is somewhat of a miss for me!
Hit or miss, Lovelies?

That dress has seemingly hidden pockets and still manages to look feminine. I now nominate it for the best dress ever. Also, I want one in black.

miss. the flowers are interesting put the way it hangs or rather doesn’t hang but folds or wrinkles makes me think of window curtains–thick ones.

Miss. Nothing held up by a woman’s boobs should ever have pockets. I’m just saying….

hit.

I like it.

it looks too much like a wedding dress…

not only would Keira Knightley look good in a brown paper sack, but these colors look extremely good on her and the make up is perfect. I agree that fall colors are good for fall, but to be strictly honest I’ve never liked browns, reds and oranges anyway, so bravo to her for looking like a breath of fresh air.

I saw Anna Karenina this weekend. Although I have yet to read the book so I can’t comment on her portrayal, I recommend it. It was artistically bold and the costumes were beautiful!
guest
She looks absolutely beautiful. =]

Beautiful dress…her coloring may have been enhanced with a dress of a more intense color.. But it is a beautiful dress..
I think designated ‘colors’ for a specific season just doesn’t apply it anymore
