Emmy Rossum

[adorevintage]

Emmy looks lovely, she carries herself so well considering her age and how other actors her age act...

 

[Kalista]

Yes, she does look lovely and is a pretty good actress as far as I've seen but she's not breathtakingly beautiful, in my opinion. As for her style she's gone for an elegant approach which makes a change from seeing all the 'boho babes' or 'trashy teens' who seem to overcrowd the red carpet these days...

 

[agathe]

She annoys the hell out of me.

 

[fashion_victim]

I personally dont see her appeal at all. She is cute and I know that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but i really cant understand why people say she is "breathtakingly gorgeous".

SPAM not allowed at tfs, thank you

I think she is so beautiful, and she was great in Phantom (I've seen the broadway show and I own the origonal soundtrachk, and even though her voice is slightly different from Sarah Brightman's it is lovely. It'll be interestingto see it she ends up as more of a singer or an actress. I love her style- she really knows what works for her. As for her personality, well I've never met her so I can't say for sure, but in her interviews she comes across as very intelligent and mature.

Love the white suit

 

[Spacemiu]

uhg she is so anoying

 

[lostgirl]

I don't understand why people find her annoying. I saw her on Leno (and I've read a few interview) and she seems very smart and very nice. As for that unflattering interview, first of all I've read much worse. Second, she strikes me as being very candid and open so it's easy for what she says to be taken out of context. And whether or not people find her beautiful, well, it's been said many times that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thnk she will branch out from Ralph Lauren and try some new stuff as her career progresses. I personally hope she has a long career ahead of her.

yousuf karsh

that black and white picture of her reminds me of another stunning picture taken by my favourite photographer....portrait of audrey hepburn. and just his over-all style...

this is what I aspire to be

either way, it is a very elegant picture, just look at the shading....so lovely!!!!!!!

Emmy's in the current issues of Vogue and W - vogue is a small featurette on her red carpet style - W has a shot of her with her boyfriend, David Wildenstein (Yes, I think he is the son of Jocelyn Wildenstein, the woman who got plastic surgery to look more like a cat)
She's wearing RED tonight at the Oscars and looks stunning.

Emmy Rossum at the Oscars. I didn't love her dress myself, but it was nice to see some colour.

 

[OlgaKorbut]

^ Yes, great colour. The dress was nice, but boooring.

 

[Misako]

Her dress reminded me of Rochas, actually. ACTUALLY, I would've LOVED to see her in some of those Rochas gowns. I like RL for her, and I understand why she loves it (longtime wearer) but I wish she'd kick into some Rochas and Lanvin gowns - they'd look fantastic on her.

PM: What do you have in common with Christine?

ER: We entered the Opera when we were 7 years old. My experience was a very happy one whereas she is confused. Christine suffers from emotional disorders. Not me. We are very different. . .

PM: You never had a mentor?

EM: When I was 7 years old, my professor of music suggested to me an audition at the Metropolitan Opera. I took his advice and I was accepted. I sang for the Met for five years. Then, I decided to become an actress. I never had somebody to hold me by the hand. It's funny, so many people make this trade for the glory and the money. That was never my case. With the Opera, I was paid 5 dollars a night and I was high in the sky.

omg, i'm sorry to keep flaming on Emmy but this is just too much. Clearly her publisist is noticing her rising stardom and telling her to portray herself better. In so many past interviews she said she hated doing opera because it was biased towards boys and how girsl are never the main roles and how she hated her salary and how 'the animals on stage got paid more that we did', if anything from all her interviews this past year, she sounded like she hated singing,'happy experience' my ****. and now she's going after the down to earth, happy to have one job,modest girl saying how 'she was high in the sky', give me a break.

 

[evexa]

I LOVED Phantom, even though it was a VERY accurate film representation of Lloyd Webber.

She was perfect for it but would I put her in anything else? Maybe not...

 

[Misako]

Er - she never said she hated doing Opera...I've read a lot of her interviews, and I don't ever recall her saying she hated performing at the Met...

Emmy-Rossum.net has most of her interviews, etc, and I just went through them, and none of them say that at all. I don't know where you're getting that from.

she recalls a particular Zeffirelli production in thich she appeared with a horse that she knew for a fact was making $150 a night, thirty times her standard five - dollar stipend. "Any time you're earning less than the livestock," she says cheerfully, "you know you're there because you love it."

from Teen Vogue...

The point is, at a time in life when many children would have been chewing over their algebra, Rossum was on the Met’s capacious stage, in Carmen or La bohème or Die Meistersinger or Turandot, “standing next to” — not behind — Placido Domingo. She laughs at the memory. “Placido used to pinch my cheeks and call me ‘bella’. Now, when he sees me walking around, he still remembers my name, though I’m sure he has no idea that I’m an actress. It’s so fantastic to me that I grew up thinking ‘Oh, Placido’, not really thinking about the weight of who he is.”

...from the Sunday Times

Rossum first appeared The Metropolitan Opera at age 7, earning $5 a day as a member of the children's chorus.

"There were horses and donkeys on stage in a lot of the productions and they were getting paid $150," she said. "So when you realize you are valued less than livestock is when you realize you are there because you love it."

...from an internet article, Fans of the Opera

Q: Did they incorporate school into their program at all?

EMMY: Hahaha, no. I was attending Spence, which was a private school here in
New York. I went there until 7th grade when they gave me an ultimatum,
because I was missing about 40 days a year of school for rehearsals. They
asked me if I thought Placido Domingo would be willing to rehearse after
school hours. Of course, I'd had to ask him but I wasn't for sure if the man
would go for that. After that, they said "Choose." And it wasn't a choice
for me. Since then, I've never ever done anything in a conventional way but
I did my high school through tutors and the Internet through Stanford
University and now I take classes at Columbia University.

...from Emmy Rossum on Phantom of the Opera

Plus, I doubt she would've chosen to leave her school for the Met if she hadn't enjoyed it there...

the only mention of solos going to boys was spoken by the Met. children's chorus director in Elle, and just Emmy saying that it was an old opera tradition.

I don't see any negativity at all...

 

[lostgirl]

It seems like most of this thread is focused on emmy's red carpet fashion but she wore some beautiful costumes in The Phantom of the Opera, so I thought I'd share some pics:

If you haven't seen the movie I'd reccomend it highly!

 

[twilight fairy]

I loved Phantom blush: )..but I reallllly don't like Emmy Rossum. Whilst I love her facial features - I think she possesses a sort of classically beautiful face - I found her to be extremely annoying and arrogant in most interviews. And her acting skills..pfft.

 

[lostgirl]

I thought she was the perfect Christine because she is classically beautiful, and she has such a lovely voice!
