Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway played with ‘bride and groom’ fashion at the premiere of their new movie, Bride Wars, last night, and the result was a fashion marvel and a major misstep. With not one, but two A-list beauties sharing top billing, we fashion hounds expect couture on the red carpet not a cutsie marketing ploy. Sorry, ladies.Kate Hudson dazzled in a stunning black and white Oscar de la Renta gown, while Anne played groom with a tailored tuxedo jacket over what appeared to be black skinny jeans. Seriously. Skinny jeans. Two words I had hoped to never write again –particularly about the usually chic Hathaway.
And the misstep didn’t end there. The Hathaway hair choice conjured images of an Elvira-spawned lovechild with a profile reminiscent of an Olympic ski jump. It’s just all kinds of unfortunate.
Luckily, there were diamonds to cover for the calamity. Kate wore a cluster of diamond bangles, Anne sported a chunky diamond right hand ring, and a surprisingly svelte Kristen Johnston won the night with an icy diamond statement necklace. Well done.
The Hudson-produced Bride Wars tells the tale of two best friends turned rivals who are forced to share the same wedding date at The Plaza. Cat fights, backstabbing and crying jags ensue. The glittering New York premiere had its after party at (where else?) Tiffany’s, and the movie features a five-carat rock worth close to $400,000 from the iconic jewelry store.
I’m sure Anne and Kate look adorable in the film, which opens wide this Friday, January 9th. But a note to Anne’s stylist? Make the ski-slope hair and suit trousers stop.

Thank you for your lovely compliment about my "look", my manager forwarded me your blog. I love that i "won the night" with my diamond necklace, especially since its a 15 dollar necklace I got from Loehmann's this weekend. Which supports the adage...Never get too serious about fashion, and NEVER let your diamonds (real or otherwise) wear YOU! My best to you...and thanks again! Sincerely, Kristen Johnston
Wise words, indeed Ms. Johnston. I sincerely hope this is really 'you' - and if it is - not only was your work on 3rd Rock... as brilliant as your $15 dollar necklace choice (who knew?), your SATC episode is THE very best guest starring appearance in the history of the show. Although that in no way influenced my objective ramblings about your big win last night, of course.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post. And thanks to your management for their wise choice in reading material today. I can only hope Anne Hathaway's rep is still on an island vacation...
True dat about KJ's SATC appearance! Her character ranted about how all the fun has gone out of nyc, and then she falls out of the window. Now THAT'S a way to exit a scene!
I loved the idea that they dressed as a "couple" to the premiere. No one would have expected something like that. That is one good picture of the two of them together.
The movie was ok, and what can I say about Kristen Johnston, she is tall and sexy, but the years hit her hard, but its ok, she is always going to be beautiful.
This cannot have effect in fact, that is what I believe.
No doubt, the chap is totally fair.

Well, I do not actually imagine it is likely to have effect.
