Downton Ladies, all black, dull, dull dull

cyb · 12/02/2012 19:30

Are the pics online ?

JasperJohns · 12/02/2012 19:33

Edith Bowman always, always gets it very wrong.

Rudawakening · 12/02/2012 19:34

Edith bowmans dress is the worst dress I've seen on a red carpet anywhere, ever. What was she thinking?

It's on dailymail website if you want to see it.

herecomesthsun · 12/02/2012 21:02

Daily Mail (sorry) - love the Westwoods!

Whitershadeofpale · 12/02/2012 21:07

Loved Michelle Williams and I'm sure I heard her say on the red carpet it was from H&M.

OtterNonsense · 12/02/2012 21:10

Love Viola Davis' dress - looked even better on telly.

ConstanceChatterley · 12/02/2012 21:12

Quite dissapointing I thought. So many really poor choices. And not just with dresses - so much lank, ungroomed hair too. I don't know how they get it so wrong with stylists, hair and makeup people etc.

Agree about Downton ladies - Joanne looked the best of the three I though, I love her half up half down 'do. Elizabeth McGovern needs to sort her posture out for a strapless dress.

Michelle Williams looked stunning though, but she always does. Agree about Gary Oldman's wife - knockout. Livia Firth looks lovely and so does Holliday Grainger. But otherwise, really bad. Emilia Fox needs to go back to blonde, that red is not flattering.

Douglas Booth on the other hand....phew

ConstanceChatterley · 12/02/2012 21:16

It may be H+M but it was still bespoke/custom made for her. Good publicity for them, she's easily the best dressed there.

SixtyFootDoll · 12/02/2012 21:32

I love emilia fox's frock. Michelle Williams looks stunning, and I like Gillian andesons too.
Tilde looks fab as always.

Am so bored of Hendricks cleavage.

SixtyFootDoll · 12/02/2012 21:32

Oh yes Violas dress is much better on tv

gregssausageroll · 12/02/2012 21:48

Meryle Streep for me although it looks more of a dress that Helen mirror would wear. The girl in the yellow dress looks like she needs a good bra.

JoantheFennel · 12/02/2012 22:29

Penelope Cruz dress was very chic.

JosieRosie · 13/02/2012 11:31

Loved Meryl's dress, fabulous cleavage. Christina Hendricks always goes way OTT with cleavage IMHO. Hated Penelope Cruz's dress - weird square boxy thing, made boobs look bizarre. Grin

Viola's dress beautiful colour. Michelle Williams gorgeous, especially her bag that looked like a paperback! Jessica Chastain's was stunning too. On the whole, a bit meh. Maybe they're all saving the total knockouts for the Oscars!

anniewoo · 13/02/2012 17:25

Diesn't Elizabeth Mc Govern look amazing for a woman in her 50's.

JoantheFennel · 13/02/2012 17:32

With help from her plastic surgeon of good genes

GetOrfMoiiLand · 13/02/2012 17:40

Christina Hendrick's cleavage always looks extraordinary (and not in a good way). What on earth does she do to it. Not attractive imo, and she is a lovely looking woman.

Michelle Williams' dress is very similar to what Kate Winslet wore to the Golden Globes, but MW looks a lot better.

Gillian Anderson looks well (looks a bit like Sarah Beany) but Laura Bailey looks haggard.

It's a bit meh though. No really outstanding dresses or styles.

JoantheFennel · 13/02/2012 17:43

Christina Hendricks celebrates her cleavage and has her own style, I think that's refreshing.

anniewoo · 13/02/2012 17:44

Yay: michelle williams
Tilda swinton
Kristen wiig
Gillian anderson
Naomi harris
Berniece marlohe

Nay: Christina hendricks

Laura bailey wtf!
Jessica brown finlay

Meryl ok
Jessica chastain - the necklace not needed

OhDearWormyGod · 13/02/2012 17:47

How does one celebrate one's cleavage? Do you think she holds it little champagne receptions and the like?

GetOrfMoiiLand · 13/02/2012 17:48

Good LORD at joanne Froggat. She looks great. She normally plays downtrodden characters in TV shows doesn't she.

gladbag · 13/02/2012 17:52

Tilda Swinton looks fabulous. I heart her.

JoantheFennel · 13/02/2012 18:09

If I had a cleavage like Christinas I think I would hold it a champagne reception. You could balance a glass of champagne on those tits.

chipstick10 · 13/02/2012 18:36

christina hendricks has a massive pair. Wot is she supposed to do?, flatten them down or wear a dress up to the neck which would just look totally weird. I love the way she wears wigs. A bit like bonham carter who imho clearly wears wigs and hair pieces.
