more from An Education

Incredible dress.  But even better is Rosamund Pike's, in the background.  It's worth seeing the movie just for the clothes.  (It's also worth seeing because it's actually about something more than clothes and boys.  Things like the point of education and independence and responsibility of parents and how people's decisions affect more than just themselves and on and on and on.  You could say I like it a bit.)

This is glamour to me.

Jennifer Connelly, on the left, photographed for Vogue. I don't adore the dress, but the spirit is right.  And, heck, it's a great picture.

Carey Mulligan on the right.  I probably wouldn't have the guts (or, let's be honest - the money) to wear it, but wow. That's some dress.

She wears the pants

I have a big problem with trousers.  99% of the trousers I see on girls nowadays are, in my humble opinion, extremely unattractive.  They look either slobby, baggy, tight, or just cheap and juvenile. I wish we had the ladylike trousers of the 50's and 60's - when wearing pants was still a new thing for women.

The classic example.  Slim fit, and shows the ankles.  

Not my favorite, but still...

I think Carey Mulligan has this sort of thing going on here:

And it's cool. 

Carey Mulligan

That. Is. Awesome.  I would kill for a shirt with a peter pan collar. And the glasses are darn cool as well. She's classy - and a little quirky.

She deserves to be famous for more than her dress sense - but, I must say, her clothes are cool.

An Education

Not only is this, like, the best movie to come out in ages (it actually made you think! When was the last time you saw a thinking film?), the costuming was incredible.  Or, as Jenny would say (according to google translator), ils ont été incroyables.

The lovely Olivia Williams.

Okay, I didn't adore Emma Thompson's clothes - though they're still spectacular - but she must be included. I 

adore Emma Thompson.  Like, to a creeper degree. 

 Rosamund Pike was beyond hilarious. Actually, one of my favorite parts of the movie was her dumb blonde.

 Danny (Dominic Copper, on the left) has, officially, the best clothes ever in this scene. And the sunglasses he wears (not in this pic) are... are... awesome.
