Cannes 2

Cannes 2 von fourtyand auf Polyvore

Rachel Weisz is very beautiful. I like her face a lot, elegant and timeless. 

With her 45 years she was brilliant in a teal silk evening gown. The Prada dress remined me of a Hollywood-Diva. It had a eyehole cleavage and it fitted her expertly. She wore it with glittering earrings and a black clutch. I like the color of the dress very much. The fabric is beautiful but not very figure forgiving. Unfortunately, this dress is only for models and actresses.

Which dress did you like the most in Cannes this year?

Mothers day is always a nice day to remember what our mothers have done for us. Famous mothers and daughters are presented on Popsugar here. You can find pictures of Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson or Meryl Streep and Louisa Jacobson Gummer. In my collage above there is also a picture of all three daughters of Meryl Streep. 

First pictures of Meryl Streep in her new film "Ricki and the Flash" were shown last week. The pictures and some background information has FashionGoneRouge here. I am already looking forward to this movie since I like Meryl Steep a lot and she can really sing. In the meantime there is also a trailer to watch here. 

Audrey Hepburn would have turned 86 this week. She has become an idol for many women and was very famous for her fashion and style. For all those who love the 50s fashion and the Audrey Hepburn there is a post here on Refinery29.

Who is the prettiest? Oscar robes 2015

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Everybody knows. For me, this year I was not so much impressed with the robes of the stars at the Oscars. Either I don't like the color (Emma Stone in Ellie Saab) or the look is repeating itself (Gwyneth Paltrow in Ralph und Russo). But despite that, I have found three prettiest, at least for me:

Keira Knightley auf polyvore

The heavily pregnant Keira Knightley looked sweet and radiant in her Valentino Couture dress. The gained weight suits her very well. The flowing creme Valentino robe is embroidered with delicate flowers and French words. It's both romantic and gorgeous. 

Cate Blanchet auf polyvore

Cate Blanchet's robe from Maison Margiela Couture with jewelry from Tiffany & Co. is not really a new look. But she wears it with great elegance. This dress with train in black is a real classic. The bright turquoise choker enhances the plain dress. I would wear this instantly. Her appearance at the Oscars 2014 was also one of my favorites, look here. 

Jamie Chung auf Polyvore

Jamie Chung was one of the first stars on the red carpet. She wore a wonderful sleeveless robe from Yanina Couture with layers of tulle and embroidered sequin stars. The diamond earrings from Leticia Linton were the only jewelry and let the impressive dress be very effective. Her radiant skin and nude lips fitted perfectly to her silky hair.

Movie to visit: Theory of Everything

Theory of Everything  auf Polyvore

The fascinating story of the well-known astrophysicist Stephen Hawking starts in the beginning sixties with a young man (Eddie Redmayne) who is studying at the University of Cambridge. He meets Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones), also student and an attentive spirit. Despite their contrary views, especially about god, they fall in love with each other. But soon Stephen notices changes in his motor function and after a breakdown he gets diagnosed ALS (a degenerative neurological disease) with only two more years remaining to live. A big jar for the young couple but Jane still wants to marry him. 

Stephen becomes a doctor and continues to impress with his scientific achievements on the fields of physics and astronomy. Years go by and his physical activities are continually decreasing but his mind is staying awake und he also shows a lot of humor in mastering his harsh fate. The couple gets three children and the family, especially Jane, tries to act like a normal family. As the movie goes on, it is displayed how hard it is to live a normal life on such premises.

The film is based on the novel “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen” written by the real Jane Wilde (former Hawking) and focusses on the relationship between Stephan and Jane. Their weaknesses and their strenghts and both their complicated personalities are shown. The fate of this great mathematician is displayed in a very touching way, It lets us think about live, love and the universe. A story about not giving up and incredible courage to master live even with great misfortune. I recommend everybody to visit this movie, because you will definitely leave cinema with a cheering feeling. 

Winner of the Golden Globes 2015

Fashion is very interesting for me but who are the great winners of the Golden Globes 2015?

As opposed to the Oscars, where 6000 members vote, the movies here are judged by only 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). Since 1943 chosen foreign jounalists, who live in South California pick the winners. The HFPA ist now a non-profit organization, which donates the millions of dollars from the TV-broadcasts mainly for educational funding in the film and TV sector.

The interesting concept of "Boyhood" from Richard Linlater is best movie (drama). The movie was made during 12 full years and therefore is really special. Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" won best movie (comedy). 

Eddie Redmayne got the award for best actor (drama) for his appearance in "The theory of Everything", the film telling the story of the well-known astro-physician Stephen Hawking. This is a movie I definitely will go watching. Michael Keaton won the statue for best actor (comedy) for his role in "Birdman" and is together with Eddie Redmayne favorite at the Oscars. 

Best actress (drama) won the gorgeous Julianne Moore for her role of a professor who develops Alzheimer very early in "Still Alice." Patricia Arquette is best supporting actress in "Boyhood". Best actress (comedy) is Amy Adams for "Big Eyes". Austrian actor Chistoph Waltz, who plays the leading actor in this movie didn't win a prizce. 

Best supporting actor is JK Simmons in "Whiplash". George Clooney received the lifetime achievement award.  Best animation picture is "How to train your dragon". A complete list, also for the TV-series you can find here. 

Julianne Moore in Dolce & Gabbana

One of my favorite actresses Julianne Moore took my breath away once again when appearing on the red carpet at the 2014 National Board of Review Gala in New York. 

Julianne Moore auf polyvore

The wonderful actress wore a very elegant Dolce & Gabbana dress consisting of a black lace top over a bustier and a black midi-length skirt with red carnations printed on it. Julianne made the look gorgeous with a sleek long braid and laced black sandals from Aquazzura. She presented herself together with her husband since 2003 Bart Freundlich and they made a very stylish couple.

As always, the actress ("Maps to the Star") with her wonderful red hair and the fair complexion looked much younger than 54. For makeup she used pink lipstick and strong eyeliner. And she also got the prize for best leading actress in the movie "Still Alice" for playing an Alzheimer patient. The movie will be in cinemas here in Austria in March. To get a good impression watch the trailer here.

Julianne Moore is even nominated twice for the Golden Globes 2014: for leading actress drama in "Still Alice" und for leading actress comedy/musical in "Maps to the Stars". I am looking forward to the Golden Globes tomorrow, naturally also because of the beautiful gowns on the red carpet. You can see my favorite looks of last year here. 

Movie to visit: Magic in the Moonlight

Magic in the moonlight auf Polyvore

Woody Allen's Magic in the Moonlight is situated in France during the years of 1920 and is a magnificant romantic comedy as known from Woody Allen. Made in the style of movies of the golden Hollywood age Magic in the Moonlight has turned out an amusing and amicable movie. 

The arrogant Stanley (Colin Firth) - a great magician - is asked by his old friend Howard (Simon McBurney), also magician, to come to France to detect a young woman for her fake transcendental skills. Sophie Baker (Emma Stone) plays the role of the young and delicate american, who charms all people around her. The son of a wealthy american family even wants to marry her. Stone is wonderful in this role with her magnificant blue eyes and her own glow.

Stanley ist a big sceptic and he doesn't believe in God nor does he believe in psychodelic humbug. Maybe Woody Allen's own believes? But Sophie manages to change the sceptic and shows him the beautiful sights in life like the smell of flowers or the moonlight sky. Ideal for this is the landscape of the  Cote d'Azur. First he believes in Sophies phsychic skills - she has her tricks and works together with Howard - but then his scetpism comes through and he ends up as a lovestruck fool.

I will not disclose much more but the movie with its great cast, the jazz soundtrack, beautiful costumes and the stunning landscape has put a spell on me.
