This is an emergency style post! I had the pleasure of finding out that the official trailer for My Week with Marilyn is out & ready for viewing! The film stars two-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams as the troubled starlet in London, who films The Prince & the Showgirl in 1957, opposite Sir Laurence Olivier (also movie’s director too!).
The movie doesn’t come out until November 4th, but I’ve been salivating over every last detail about the production of this sure-to-be awards season darling! To read more about the movie, check out my Silver Screen Style post which includes a movie poster, promotional image, & several stills from the movie. Also head over to Movie Buzzers to read more of my coverage of the film’s 2011 New York Film Festival premiere on October 9th!
In Sarah Jessica Parker‘s new movie, I Don’t Know How She Does It, she plays a working mom who loves her job & family with a passion. I recently wrote on Movie Buzzers about the movie that opened this past weekend, based on the best-selling novel by Allison Pearson.
I’m so happy to SJP back on the big screen, especially during all the press & promotional events for this film b/c we get to see our favorite Sex & the City star out & about & very stylish! I’ve included a bunch of stills from the new movie, which also stars Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, Christina Hendricks, Olivia Munn, Kelsey Grammar, & Busy Philipps.
What I love about some of these images is that the characters are wearing outfits that aren’t high-fashion, but very wearable for a career gal. Some of my favorite stores to shop for workwear include New York & Company, LOFT, Ann Taylor, The Limited, Gap, & Target. I like to find pieces that are both neutral, but still flattering to my shape. I don’t want to look too stuffy or that I’m hiding my style. For Style Darlings on a budget, you’d be swapping out pencil skirts, blouses, trousers, & pumps on a day-to-day basis to keep your look fresh & here’s where accessories (in moderation, of course) can really work to your outfit’s advantage!
Here we see SJP wearing lots of gray, beige, & black. Her character, Kate, is often traveling across the country & she needs to wear pieces that are both easy to pack & catch for her meetings & work events.
Look at pretty Christina Hendricks is even in modern-day attire like a tweed coat, dark red leather gloves, soft curls, & a fashionable handbag!
Check out the movie’s trailer too!
Check out our last post on Silver Screen Style featuring images from Michelle Williams’ upcoming role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. What are your favorite styles from movies? Where do you like to shop for office attire? What are your favorite go-to pieces that you can wear as a mom-on-the-go? Happy Styling!
I’ve been covering the very exciting details for the new movie, My Week with Marilyn, for quite a while over on Movie Buzzers (a movie news site for which I also write). There are so many images out right now, showing the staggering similarity between Marilyn’s long lost features and the two-time Academy Award nominee, Michelle Williams who is starring as the legendary sex symbol.
The movie follows a 1957 Monroe for one week during her London filming of The Prince & The Showgirl alongside & under the direction of Sir Laurence Olivier (played by Kenneth Branaugh). Also starring in the film is Tony-winner Eddie Redmayne as Colin Clark, the assistant who is documenting the entire week. The cast could not be complete without Dougray Scott as Marilyn’s third husband, Arthur Miller, Julia Ormond as Olivier’s wife-at-the-time Vivien Leigh, Dame Judi Dench as actress Dame Sybil Thorndike, Derek Jacobi as Sir Owen Morshead, Emma Watson as Colin’s love interest Lucy, and Dominic Cooper as Milton Greene.
I wanted to share these images b/c I love seeing Marilyn’s style during her very short & underestimated career. Looking at these also help pass the time for the My Week with Marilyn finally premieres on November 4th. When a trailer comes out, I’ll definitely be posting it.
Look at the striking similarities between the black & picture of Marilyn Monroe & Arthur Miller vs. a movie still of Michelle Williams & Dougray Scott!
