Penélope Cruz in Oscar de la Renta S/S 08. Cruz has proven she can pull off this difficult cut (recall the meringue number at the Oscars?), but the shocking colour is less than laudable.
Katie Holmes in Monique Lhuillier Fall 2007. Inspired hair, dramatic dress, but accoutrement (the man, not the mini bolero design).

I really, really like Holmes’s new ‘do. I did not like the previous short look at all. This new Louise Brooks bob with heavy bang makes her look fresher and more glamorous. Also there has been some cosmetic transformation that is working in her favor. Both are improvements that make her look a bit slyer and less jejeune.
Still do not like him, however.
Call me crazy but I actually like this dress on Penelope Cruz. That colour on any other woman would be tacky, but on her its mesmerizing.
And Katie just looks like Anna Wintour.
Katie is very Anna Wintour indeed, but I think I like it. I think the new ‘do suits her very well and the outfit, which happens to be as simple as sex, is definitely in her favour.
If Katie was to set herself free of her very cruise accessory she would become a fashion icon no?
I like her new do, she looks sophisticated, tres tres chic!
love katie’s new ‘do but didn’t know we were still into boleros…
