I love how you can see a peek of cream silk lining on that dress. It's a beautifully structured dress. I'm not crazy about her hairstyle, but I'm glad she didn't wear braids like so many celebrities do when they're wearing Valentino.
The dress is beautiful. I love how dynamic the dress looks, in other boring celebrity it would look safe and boring.
And about the Girl With the Dragon tatoo discussion her hair is longer on the 2nd film, when she becomes more feminine, I think they will style it a little like in the scene when she meets Mikael in the film in her house. On the third one, I suppose her hair is even longer since she is at the hospital. I think it will look different by the trial scene (oh god I cant wait for that scene!).
I think she looks great in both outfits
Balenciaga is edgy and kinda sharp. Valentino dress is delicate but still very elegant and not so girly.
She works them!
Love both looks! Also, I saw Side Effects and she's really good in it! I was very surprised by her performance, especially being I think the only person who was unimpressed by her in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. But she's really good in this film.
I like the Valentino, but agree with HeatherAnne about the hair; it seems a bit ballerina-ish or twee. Still, she looks lovely overall.
But that Balenciaga ... a favourite to be sure!!
