These are photos from the London premiere (at the London Film Festival) of Conviction, that Hilary Swank film that is getting so much attention because of Gloria Allred and Hilary’s sketchy styling (seriously, I can’t believe I’m doing so many Hilary fashion posts). As for Hilary’s Donna Karan dress… well. I really, really liked it when I saw the thumbnail of it. That happens to me all the time – sometimes a dress looks really cute in the thumbnails, and then you see it blown up and look at the detailing and how it’s fitting on her body, and all of a sudden, the eye is no longer fooled. This is one of those times. It could have been a show-stopper dresser… but it’s just not… on Hilary. The fabric isn’t sitting right on her waist and hips, and the neck is much too high. I will give her points on hair and makeup though – this is the best she’s looked from the neck up in weeks.
Minnie Driver (who is in the film too) had the exact opposite effect. When I looked at the thumbnails, I thought this Marchesa dress was horrible. The necklace is not a necklace – it’s built into the dress. And the color could come across as just a shade too garish. And yet… it really works on her. The effect is really pretty. Okay, it’s a little pageanty. But pretty.
And of course, my lover Sam Rockwell was there. It’s like he knew what I wanted and he decided to give me a little present. His hair…okay, his hair is still questionable, but the scruffy little beard is giving me a fever, and he’s making some really sexy/hot/funny faces at the camera. So it’s a win for me. Okay, I hate the tie. It would look better on my wrists, ya know?
