The Dark Approach: Emmy Rossum in Beautiful Creatures

Finally, a witch who embraces the gothic.

Beautiful Creatures is supposed to be the "new" Twilight. It's based on the first novel of the Caster Chronicles series (which I have no intention of reading), which is set in a small town in the south, and has a brooding lead female character who falls in love with some guy in her class. But, instead of vampires, the story focuses on a family of witches (but they prefer to be called casters). 

Hmm.

Even though the Twilight series is quite rubbish, it manages to create some dramatic tension. This film did not. 

The only thing I loved when watching this was Ridley Duchannes, a.k.a. Emmy Rossum. She's an evil bitch witch, with a killer wardrobe. Lots of lace, lots of sheer, lots of black.

This is how witches should dress. You hear that, Angelique?

That Dress: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

So I went to see the new Twilight film tonight.

Whilst I was supremely disappointed with its overall lack of an anti-climax, I was also quite pleased with Bella's choice of clothes. I mean, the girl went from wearing ugly jeans and hoodies to an actual DRESS (although, she did mostly just wear black leggings and a military-style jacket, but still).

But it's not the dress that she wore in the last installment that is important. It was the one before that.

Out of all the films in the saga, Bella's wedding dress is without a doubt the wardrobe highlight.

Carolina Herrera, you did me proud, and I curtsy to you.
