I fell in love with the costumes and visual direction in Sofia Coppola's Marie Aintonette, starring Kirsten Dunst. This movie is too beautiful not to picspam...

Mirror, mirror on the wall....

tinyyuan — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:27:02 GMT

Well, the heading pretty much gives away what this post is about. Is anyone watching the new Snow White movie called Mirror Mirror? I believe it's a modern version of the classic fairytale. It's supposed to be comedic and charming, just like in the trailer. I'm excited to see Julia Roberts as the evil queen and I bet she will be lots of fun in it. It's also interesting to see Lily Colins as Snow White for I didn't picture her in this role. She looks so gorgeous in her pretty costumes, though! I'm actually intrigued by the other film adaptation of this tale as well which is coming this June called Snow White and the Huntsman. It stars Charlize Theron as the evil queen and Kristen Stewart as the fair princess. It looks like this is a darker version of Snow White compared to Mirror Mirror, which is lighter and funnier.

Anyway, I'm pretty sold on Armie Hammer as the prince because well, ahem, it's Armie Hammer. He looks so handsome and dashing in his regal attire. And Lily has an ancient beauty about her that I like, which is why I had to do a picspam of her.

Here are just a few of my favorite photos of the up and coming star Lily Colins...

Isn't she beautiful? I've loved her since seeing her in The Blind Side. She's such a natural actress and there's something magical about her.

Cannes Film Festival 2011

tinyyuan — Wed, 25 May 2011 05:26:19 GMT

Why is LJ such a fail these days? Is it because everyone is now on Tumblr? I miss the good old days when this community was still alive and people were actually writing their entries so people could comment on them and such. Yeah, remember that? *Sigh*

Anyway, this is going to be one of those random posts again where I review my favorite fashion from a major public event -- this time it's the 64th Cannes Film Festival.

First off, I thought everyone looked fantastic at the event this year but of course there are those standout fashion choices that stay in my mind. Here is my top 10 best dressed list:

1.Bar Refaeli - I'm not choosing her because she's Leo's girlfriend. She actually looked quite pretty at the Cannes Film Festival this year. I liked the way she (or her hairstylist) tied her ponytail. It gave her an extra edge. The blue gown may have washed her out a little bit, but boy did it show her curvacious figure. The girl's got a rocking body! Overall, I liked her whole ensemble.

2. Angelina Jolie - I was a little disappointed we didn't see Angie really rock the red carpet this year. She looked kinda "meh" to be honest. I think she could've added an extra touch by curling her hair or pulling it to the side (which she did--but I wanted to see more). Her gown was too puffy and the color didn't grab my attention at all. However, I have to say that she's aging pretty well.

3. Diane Kruger - Unf. This woman is looking better with age. She knows how to dress to impress, that's for sure. I loved the cream satin gown she wore to the festival. She looked fabulous in it, to say the least. I think she is seriously one of the best dressed actresses to ever grace the planet. I like how she can show her feminine side while giving us a little attitude at the same time.

4. Fan Bingbing - She is truly a classic beauty. I am in awe of her elegance and charm. I can't figure out which one of her dresses I liked the most, but I think she looked best in the purple gown. I like the how color fades towards the bottom and I love what she did with hair. Her braids were gorgeous and she looked stunning on the red carpet.

5. Gwen Stefani - Oh Gwen, we need to see more of you! I absolutely adored her silver outfit. She looked ravishing in it. Her platinum blonde hair coupled with her stellar long pants and shoes made a perfect combination. Gosh, that woman has some super long legs. Put more records out soon, Gwen!

6. Kirsten Dunst - She looked beautiful as always in a sleek, metallic silver dress. I like the white features underneath and her hair looked nice. I haven't seen her new movie "Melancholia" but from I've read, she won for Best Actress. I can see why because her performance looked gripping from the trailer I saw.

7. Penelope Cruz - Definitely the best dressed at the event. Penelope never disappoints when it comes to red carpet fashion. Wait, she never disappoints, period. I love how her hair was tied in the back. She looked so radiant and stylish at the same time. Where else can you find someone as chic as her? The lavender dress popped out so much to me. The fancy lacing and design at the front of the dress was beyond beautiful. She made the much younger actress standing next to her look like an old lady. How does she do that?

8. Uma Thurman - I don't know how she can manage to look so young all the time. Her white gown really stood out to me. Maybe it was how she walked in it or it was the train at the back but she looked so elegant in it. Uma always carries herself in a classy manner and this time was no exception. She really captured the essence of how a movie star should dress like.

9. Wei Tang - There wasn't anything special to her look, but I love her free flowing hair. It looked so natural and she has a good head on her shoulders. I really liked her black dress. It was so cute and it reminded me of one of those heritage costumes for some reason. This girl's got some flair to her.

10. Zoe Saldana - Gosh, well isn't she bold! Not many women can wear a candy cane patterned dress and pull it off! She looked so great in it that I didn't find the stripes distracting at all. In fact, I think they added to her beauty. She is so unique and her fashion really reflects that. I also liked the belt she tied around her waist to go with the black dress she wore. She looked so chic!

MET Ball Recap

tinyyuan — Thu, 05 May 2011 12:19:32 GMT

Hello everyone, I know it's been forever since I posted but I just want to do a recap of my favorite designer dresses at the 2011 MET Ball. I love fashion and this year's red carpet showdown did not disappoint. So here are my choices for the best dressed at the Met Gala this year...

Photos (c) Elle

#1 Giselle Bundchen - She absolutely stunning in this juicy red gown designed by the notably famous and late-great Alexander McQueen. She knows what color suits her and she has these classy pearl earrings that are just to die for. I like how she's standing in it and her hair is looking awesome lately. She never ages, either. Stunning. A

#2 Diane Kruger - Diane sure knows how to pick a dress! She's wearing a Jason Wu gown with sequins covering her top and a slit down in her dress. This really shows off her shapely legs and her elegant walk. When it comes to styling her hair, she knows just the right amount of perm to put in it and her posture is just ever so classy. Well done, Diane! A-

#3 Emma Roberts - Hmm, well this gown is interesting. It's plain white and it doesn't have a lot of decoration on it. I like how Emma looks in it, though. She definitely has that classic "Grace Kelly" vibe going for her. Her hairstyle is nice and the way she's holding her clutch is cute. I like that she has minimal makeup and as not to distract us from her beautiful face. Sometimes simplicity goes a long way. B+

#4 Penelope Cruz - Oh, Penelope. Never change, please. She always manages to look her best no matter what event she is attending. Her Oscar de la Renta dress is truly remarkable and it suits her femininity so well. I like how she's styled her hair, pulling it back and curling it a little to give her some flare. This girl is so hip it's no wonder she's one of Spain's most beloved actresses. A

#5 Gwyneth Paltrow - Talk about keeping it simple. This lady knows what it means to dress for the occasion. She's wearing a beige Stella McCartney gown made full of sequins. Again, here's a time when simplicity works wonders. She's a woman of grace and it really shows in her fashion style. Keep on rocking, Gwen! B

#6 Liv Tyler - The lovely Liv is wearing a Givenchy dress (great designer, by the way) embroidered with feathers and ruffles. Without looking like a complete peacock, Liv is careful not to go too far in her sense of creativity. I can see this dress being worn to the Oscar Awards, to be honest. It has a soothing feel to it and the color is not too hard on the eyes. Good job, Liv! B

#7 Rosie Huntington Whitely - Oh...my...goodness. I am floored by how amazing she looks in this custom-made Burberry gown (I gotta remember this brand). She looked the best out of all the women at the event and STILL managed to pull off a slit in her dress. I love how she brushed her long fluffy to the side as to make her look more regal than all the rest. This woman is giving some of the top Hollywood fashion icons a run for their money. It looks like her modeling career did her some favors that night. A+

#8 Isabel Lucas - One name - Louis Vuitton. Isabel selected the perfect dress for her that night. From the color of the dress to the decoration on her forehead, she looked captivating to say the least. I love that she went the extra mile in her wardrobe and tied a red belt around her waist; it was totally a smart move. A

#9 Elettra Wiedemann - I don't even to know this girl but I just want to acknowledge her ravishing sense of style. From her up-do to the tail flowing down from the back of her dress, everything looked in sync. She looked ravishing and it almost seemed like the crowd was staring at her. She was the life of the party in my opinion. And the short dress cut at the front was a good way to showcase her gorgeously long legs. Whoever styled her should get an award. A

#10 Iman - And to top it all off, the best dressed of the night was certainly Ms. Iman. I don't she will ever, ever age. The woman's got the body of a 20-year old. I like how her dress sparkles and how shimmering her hair is. The whole ensemble was top notch. She is such a class act. A Goddess all the way. A+

I wanna be where the stars are...

The Toronto International Film Festival is here and the city is flooded with stars right now.

It's a Friday afternoon and I have nothing to do. It's wet and damp outside, and I can barely walk. Thus, picspam time!

This British actress has been on my list of girl crushes for a long time. She is mature beyond her years and she's ever so elegant. You may not know her that well, but she's notable for her full figure and graceful smile. She's been in films such as Quantam of Solace, Clash of the Titans and most recently, Prince of Persia. Here's a picspam of the former bond girl, model and overall classy gal.

New layout and userinfo! Can you tell what my new ship is yet? XD

Who's that mystery man?

tinyyuan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:12:42 GMT

Ahhhhhh! He's finally here! James Franco is featured in a new promo for the soap, General Hospital. I still don't know who he's going to play, just that he's dark and brooding sexy! Oh, he may also be Jason's worst enemy. ;)

Can't wait for the 20th! :D

Cool beans.

tinyyuan — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:58:04 GMT

Weird. I just came across a clip from General Hospital with Adam Lambert singing "Mad World" in a montage. I never thought I'd make the connection between Adam and a soap opera, ROTFL.

Jessica Lucas Picspam

tinyyuan — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:07:41 GMT

This girl has easily become my new girl crush. She's currently on the show Melrose Place and I think she's absolutely breathtaking. Jessica Lucas is a young and pretty actress with a lot of potential. She's an underrated talent and I hope to see more of her on the silver screen!

Isn't she the prettiest girl in television? Gah, I have to say so.

Whoa...didn't see this coming.

tinyyuan — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 05:00:17 GMT

I put up a new layout and userinfo. I'm quite pleased with how they came out. I've had a girl crush on Evi ever since she graced the show Lost and I still admire her very much. So thus, new Evi moodtheme, too!

Please tell me what you think of the new look, guys! Thanks! :)

Friends cut!

tinyyuan — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:52:46 GMT

I did a small friends cut. I mostly removed some inactive journals. If you cannot read this entry, that means you were cut. Please don't take it personally. If you feel like I should add you back, please reply and I'll consider it. Otherwise, we can just go our own merry ways.

Don't forget to remove me from your flist if you were cut. Thanks.
