Let me just unload. I dislike dresses with only one sleeve. I dislike orange dresses. I dislike asymmetrical hemlines. I dislike obvious wrinkles on expensive dresses. I dislike “undone” hairstyles combined with “polished” ensembles. And even with all of the minuses piling up, I actually think Sophie Hunter looks pretty good here. Yes, the orange dress is fugly, but she wears it well. Yes, her hair needs something, even a loose chignon would be better than this, but still… it’s not awful. Yes, everything is sort of awkwardly wrinkled, but… she looks okay.
These are photos of Sophie at the big opening night for her husband’s opening night. As I said yesterday, Benedict’s endless previews are now done and all of Hamlet’s kinks have been worked out. Maybe it was the endless “previews” or maybe there’s some lingering Cumber-exhaustion, but the opening night red carpet was pretty weak. Benedict didn’t even walk the carpet – the carpet consisted of Sophie, Mark Gatiss, Allen Leech and Dan Stevens and that’s about it. Sophie really was “the star” of the carpet. Too bad her ugly dress clashed with the carpet.
Her dress is by Osman, which is a label we haven’t seen on Sophie before. We’ve seen her wear a lot of Erdem and some notable Valentino (her wedding gown was Valentino) and Lanvin (the red dress at the Oscars). Her shoes are Valentino Rockstud slingbacks. Not my style, but whatever.
Deadline had an interesting review of the play – go here to read. They say that a lot of money went into this production but there are some real fru-fru moments that are slightly ridiculous. They say Bendy is good though.
