In the event you’re a fan of flicks, it is at all times a deal with to see a movie as talent-packed as “The Northman,” which stars Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Pleasure, Willem Dafoe, Alexander Skarsgard and extra. It is about…nicely, to be sincere, I’ve seen the trailer, however I nonetheless could not inform you what it is “about” — I sort of suspect “plot” is not actually the purpose right here – but it surely’s from director Robert Eggers, who has accomplished some wild and trippy stuff, so I am positive it is nice.
However for those who’re a fan of vogue, the true deal with comes when the press tour begins. Attending to see Taylor-Pleasure and Kidman on the identical purple carpet? Be nonetheless my coronary heart! The 2 appeared on the Los Angeles premiere of “The Northman” in fully totally different appears to be like that by some means nonetheless performed nicely collectively.

On one facet of the coin was Taylor-Pleasure, who went for a vaguely on-theme costume from (who else?) Dior. It is a plain, halter-necked robe that’s attractive in its simplicity: The silhouette is completely fitted on the bodice after which gently drapes away from the physique, and the open again ends in a collection of fanned pleats. The statement-maker right here is the pearl-embellished neck piece, a kind of filigree collar that takes this costume to the subsequent stage. A thick swipe of black liner and an extended braid end out the look.

Kidman went in the other way, working with stylist Julia von Boehm to place collectively an outfit round this Prada costume. The place Taylor-Pleasure went easy, that is something however: the robe is an virtually acid-green that is coated in a bronze mesh, embellished on the skirt and shoulders with crystals. Clearly, the function which stands out essentially the most are the explosions of pink feathers from every arm, which, in a method that solely Prada appears to have the ability to pull off, feels cool reasonably than cloying. A pair of black Prada sandals match the mock neck of the costume, and her mirrored clutch provides a contact of visible curiosity that does not compete with the remaining.
The jury should still be out on whether or not I will see “The Northman” (I am unable to even work out from the trailer if it is scary, and I’m an enormous child) however I am formally keen to declare this purple carpet second with its stars a win.
