"Surreal and bizarre," said Juno star Ellen Page, who was too busy taking it all in—and meeting Hollywood heavyweights like Sissy Spacek—to linger over her lunch. Still unskilled at the practice of naming the designers of her red carpet outfits, Page preferred to crack a joke when asked what she was wearing. "Today I took my old prison uniform and I just learned how to sew and made it into a new dress, [added] a leather jacket and slapped on some heels!" she quipped.

Oh, I saw that picture of Ellen in the striped dress today in the New York Times. She looked really good... what a perfect outfit for the occasion.

I absolutely adore Ellen Page! I didn't know who she was until I watched Juno. She's such an edgy & quirky lil' thing who's amazing at playing "big girl" roles! I can't wait to watch Hard Candy (even though i heard it's a really traumatizing and disturbing movie).
 
I :heart: her in juno! She's a great actresse! I hope to see more of her!
 
love her in stripes and leather jacket.something very french chic bout it
 
I also love the stripes on her! I'm not so crazy about the green dress, it looks ill fitting.

Here's what the accompanying article says about her...

n 2005, at the Sundance Film Festival, a star was born, but almost no one noticed. Well, actually, a few studio executives who saw “Hard Candy” raved about the performance of the unknown Ellen Page — she played an avenging, psychopathic 14-year-old who entices and then violently tortures a would-be pedophile. But the movie was so relentlessly disturbing (at one point, Page’s character ties her enemy down and slowly begins to castrate him) that when “Hard Candy” was released the following year, no one went to see it. What the audience missed then is what they later found in “Juno” — the birth of a different sort of actress. Unlike her glamour-girl peers who double as tabloid superstars, Page, who is now 20, is a tomboy — her on-screen persona is sharp, clear-eyed, determined and self-consciously original. In “Hard Candy,” she managed to be adorable and persuasive while wielding a large knife; in 2007, that same spirit and charm animated “Juno,” a kind of fairy tale about a pregnant 16-year-old who decides to have the baby and give it to the couple (in the end, half the couple) she chooses. In “Juno,” the lack of realism — no one questions Juno’s decision — and the lack of politics are trumped by the overwhelming appeal of Page’s acting. She is so alive on screen — so unique, so ingratiating — that she makes the character, and the entire film, believable.

As is often the case with cinematic breakthroughs, Page had two of them: the first, “Hard Candy,” was her initial artistic birth; “Juno” then deftly married artistic cred with popular acclaim. Page is now a star. With breakthrough performances, as with almost everything else in life, context is everything. Diane Keaton was in three Woody Allen films before Allen wrote “Annie Hall” as a love letter to her quirks. Despite her brilliant comedic turns in the other films, “Annie Hall,” was, and is, the Keaton performance that cemented her cinematic identity. Just as Juno MacGuff probably has high-school girls trading their Uggs and belly-baring T-shirts for tartan plaid Converse sneakers and red hoodies, Annie Hall spawned legions of loyal followers. I, for one, started wearing a fedora and sewed copies of her outsize dresses. I think I may even have said “la-di-dah” once or twice.
