Haley Bennett – Celebrity About

Here are some fashion photos from last night’s BAFTAs. There was some wild fashion in London, honestly. People were a little surprised by Florence Pugh’s new look on the red carpet. We had not seen her new hair cut and color, this was the big debut. Thoughts? I think her old honey-blonde color suits her better, but I’m not against people going darker. The cut is A LOT, but maybe the whole thing is for a movie. Her dress is Carolina Herrera and it’s one of the worst dresses of the awards season, hands down. Florence really loves mullet dresses and minidresses-with-trains, and I feel like she’s worn (better) versions of this style before. But this is just awful, I can’t believe her stylists let her leave the house like this.

A rare red carpet appearance from Emma Watson. She wore Oscar de la Renta, a black-and-white mullet dress. It’s okay? I feel like her hair stylist was trying too hard to make Emma look “a little bit undone” yet maintain the strong center-part. Eh.

Lea Seydoux in Louis Vuitton. Yes, the “sleeves” are unattached to the dress. It’s a very strange look. I’m not entirely sure about her pixie cut either.

Caitriona Balfe in custom Armani. More velvet, there was so much velvet at the BAFTAs. Yeah, I think Balfe is gorgeous but I’ve started to realize that her personal style is a bit “off.” She doesn’t do “pretty princess.” She likes more off-beat looks.

Daisy Ridley in Vivienne Westwood. I actually love the dress, but I almost always love Westwood. The styling is a bit too severe for this dress, right?

Haley Bennett in Valentino. This is… a bit much. It’s a reminder that celebrities missed wearing big ball gowns to awards shows too.

Adwoa Aboah in Saint Laurent. I love the simplicity of this sack dress. So elegant.

The big London premiere for Cyrano was held last night in London. In case you haven’t seen the trailer, I’m including it below. It’s directed by Joe Wright, who loves a costume drama with corseted heroines. It’s looks like a mostly-straight adaption of Cyrano de Bergerac, the popular 19th century play about a dude with a huge nose and a beautiful soul who tries to help a young, good-looking guy (Christian) win the heart of Roxane, the woman both Cyrano and Christian love. In this latest adaptation, they chose (good-looking) Peter Dinklage as Cyrano, Haley Bennett as Roxane and Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Christian.

I wanted to cover the premiere because I love Haley’s dress and how bonkers it is. I like Haley a lot as an actress, and I’ve always wanted her to have a bigger career. Sometimes, I wonder if the fact that she looks like Jennifer Lawrence’s shorter sister has hampered her career. But Haley is fun and talented and I love that she went all-out with this crazy dress. The dress is a custom piece from Elena Dawson. It’s perfect.

I kind of want to watch Roxane, the Steve Martin movie again. I haven’t seen that since I was a kid. There are so many Cyrano variations, but this might be the first time they’ve cast Cyrano as a little person. It’s going to be tough because Peter is actually VERY attractive.
