Cine-Picks Style #1

I love to see great fashion in film. I ESPECIALLY love to see great fashion on women over 40. For my first style cine-picks I've chosen five films in which the women range in age from 41 to 63 and they look fantastic....I like the films too:)

Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair (1999)

Although the film IS silly -very smart, very successful and very beautiful woman chooses to abandon her life to go on the lam with billionaire art thief - Pierce Brosnan looks great, they sizzle, and to quote Mr. Charles, "Rene Russo is smoking hot." I have to add, how refreshing that his love interest is  age appropriate. She looks sensational in every scene. Michael Kors designed her wardrobe.

Sharon Stone in The Muse (1999)

This was a delightful bit of a fairytale written, directed and starring Albert Brooks with Sharon Stone and Andie MacDowell. It's funny and charming and Sharon Stone looks fabulous. Regrettably I couldn't find any shots of her wardrobe, which was designed by Emanuel Ungaro.

Susan Sarandon in Bull Durham (1988)

I love this movie..Kevin Costner is perfect as an aging minor league baseball catcher ( and quite easy on the eyes) and Susan Sarandon is wonderful as a William James quoting, poetry loving, baseball temptress. I think she looks great in this film. Sometimes the clothes are 50's inspired, but there are a few vintage dresses that look like they're from the 40's. She also wears stockings with garters so one is never quite sure which era she's in..which perfectly suits her character.

Rosiland Russell in Auntie Mame (1958)

This is a classic. The ever changing set design is as fabulous as Rosiland Russell's wardrobe by the prolific Orry-Kelly.

Tilda Swinton and Marisa Berenson in I Am Love (2010)

Tilda Swinton is usually attired by avant-garde designers such as Haider Ackermann and Viktor & Rolf.  So to see her in this film, dressed conservatively, was a surprise. I thought she looked fantastic. Raf Simons, then at Jil Sander, designed her wardrobe. I'm not sure if he did Marisa Berenson's as well, but she, too, looked stunning.

So there it is, my first style cine-picks. Many more to follow!
