My mom is a psychologist and I’m very similar to her. I love the challenge of working a character out. Ultimately, I don’t agree to do a film because I think it’s going to be a success. I do it because I think I’m going to learn something from the character I’m playing. I’m not sure what yet, but I know I am going to learn something from Elizabeth [Taylor, in an upcoming BBC film]. I know that, somehow, I’m going to grow as a soul from playing her.”</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>On acting being less of a priority since becoming a mum:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p> “It’s not my sole purpose so there’s less pressure on it. Which, of course, means I do it better. But I also find it’s less important to me now whether I’m c**p or good. I take myself so much less seriously than I used to. I used to be so self-critical, it was painful. Now I think, ‘OK, so I acted badly today. I’ll try and act better tomorrow.’ I mean, for God’s sake, it’s not like I’m a surgeon or anything. It doesn’t really matter, does it?”</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>On playing different roles:</strong><span> </span></p> <blockquote> <p><span>“I learned how to be a southern belle, which I’ve always rather wanted to be. And how to be a w***e, which I’ve also rather always wanted to be. And I learnt how to fire a double-barrelled shotgun from a prosthetic leg. It’s frighteningly empowering firing a gun, you know? I’m afraid I learnt that too…”</span></p> </blockquote> <p>Seriously though, Helena gives good face.

However, to be honest I felt that overall I was disappointed by the looks we saw. Nothing felt all the special or risky, and nothing really wowed me.

Flaunting a lot of side boob and a sexy open back she managed to still look elegant by pulling her hair up into a sleek tight updo and rocking a matte red lip.

Museum Costume Institute Gala<span> </span></strong></p> <p><span>I am a tad late posting this as the <strong>MET Gala</strong> took place this past Monday, but as they say - better late than never, right?</span></p> <p><span>Anyways, this years theme was </span><span></span><em>“Punk: Chaos To Couture”</em><span> and although many stars attempted to get into character and tap into their inner ‘punk’ on the most part it was a failure. Even worse, apparently the only punk band that exists is <strong>The Sex Pistols</strong> and the colour of punk is pink mixed with florals as seen many times on the carpet. </span><span>However, this being said there were still a few hits among</span><span> the ladies on the carpet for those whom kept the costume aspect to a minimum using touches of studs and dark makeup to reflect the theme rather than looking as if they were trying to hard by attempting to pull of their version of a punk look. There were also a fair amount of ladies who forwent the punk theme altogether and looked stunning.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Nina Dobrev</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>Let’s start off with one of my favourites from last years <strong>MET Gala</strong>, ‘<em>The Vampire Diaries’</em> star, <strong>Nina Dobrev</strong>. Getting into the punk vibe while still looking pretty and on trend, Nina wore a </span><span><strong>Monique Lhuillier</strong> pantsuit which featured a corseted top, black leather harness halter and a sheer, playful tulle skirt. Side swept locks, <strong>Rupert Sanderson</strong> pumps and bold yet simple accessories completed the look. <br/></span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Katy Perry</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>In true <strong>Katy Perry</strong> fashion the raven haired beauty wore a lavishly embellished dress from the </span><span><strong>Dolce & Gabbana</strong> <em>Fall 2013</em> collection. Accompanied by the designer duo themselves, Katy explained that she wanted to go dressed in the vain of the original punk woman, </span><span><em>‘Joan of Arc’</em>. She accessorized with </span><span>crucifix earrings, an opulent crown and a a rather boring pair of black ankle strap pumps.</span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Amber Heard</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>As the guest of </span><span><strong>Peter Dundas</strong>, the designer behind<strong> Emilio Pucci</strong>, Amber wore this custom vibrant red </span><span>chantilly lace gown with ruby red crystal embellishments, sheer panels and a dramatic deep back. She accessorized with a matching <strong>Pucci </strong></span><span>minaudière and kept her makeup simple and her hair glossy and side swept. </span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Rooney Mara</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>Doing double duty as guest and co-host <strong>Rooney Mara</strong> stunned in a white </span><span><strong>Givenchy Couture</strong> lace gown with zipper accents. Although I thought she looked amazing, I am disappointed that this feels like more of the same from Rooney therefore making it a tad boring. Moreover this dress was previously worn by </span><span><strong>Penelope Cruz</strong> in May of 2011 at the </span><span><em>‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’</em> London premiere. It may not seem like a big deal but for the <strong>MET Gala</strong> I expect to be wowed and I expect to see gowns that I have not seen before. </span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Blake Lively</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>Mrs. Ryan Reynolds showed up to the <strong>MET Gala</strong> stag this year and looking every but the blonde bombshell that one expects from her. This year she poured herself into in a <strong>Gucci</strong> gown which featured a skin tight strapless bodice and a dramatic black skirt and layers upon layers of organza embellished with silver and black feathers. </span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Cameron Diaz</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>Cameron showed up in a stunning bold blue custom</span><strong> Stella McCartney</strong><span> gown with a matching cap and a clinched waist care of a long spiked gold belt. Not pictured (for the life of me I couldn’t find one) is the amazing open back on the cape which gave the gown that little extra something sexy. A Stella McCartney box clutch and studded platform heels competed this winning look. </span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Kristen Stewart</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>Standing out among the sea of gowns was Kristen in a stunning lace garnet </span><span><strong>Stella McCartney</strong> jumpsuit with exaggerated hips. I personally loved this look and felt it was one of the rare looks that somewhat fit the theme of the evening without looking as if it was trying to hard. She completed the look with a dramatic eye, retro hairstyle, </span><span>gold <strong>Stella McCartney</strong> clutch and simple black pumps. </span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Jennifer Lawrence</span></strong></p> <ul><li><span>J.Law (her and I are on a nickname basis now) once again collaborated with <strong>Dior</strong> (whom she is the current face of) and came out on top in this elegant black strapless ankle dusting gown with jewel embellishments. She completed her look with a small netted veil, simple eye makeup and a punchy red lip. </span></li> </ul><p><strong><span>Cara </span></strong><strong>Delevingne</strong></p> <ul><li><span>The british model wore <strong>Burberry</strong> to the <strong>MET Gala</strong> for her first time attending the event, a nod to her and punk’s British roots.

First off I am a massive <strong>Star Trek</strong> and <strong>J.J. Abrams</strong> fan so you can only imagine how excited I am that <span> </span><span><em>‘Star Trek Into Darkness’</em> is coming out soon. Secondly I have a massive girl crush on <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong> and love her style and bold choices that only she can pull off because she is so comfortable and confident in whatever she is wearing. Combine the two and I cannot even handle myself.</span></p> <p><span>For the flicks London premiere yesterday she chose a <strong>Vionnet</strong><em> Pre-Fall 2013</em> gown with a pretty embellished bodice and piecey white skirt that gave a peak at her lean stems. She completed her look with a side swept updo and <strong>C</strong></span><span><strong>hristian Louboutin</strong> peep-toes. </span></p> <p><span>So far she has looked steller at all premiere and media events for the film and if this is an indication I am excited to see the rest of the <strong>Star Trek</strong> promo tour. </span></p> <hr><p><strong><strong><a

I think she has<span> really come into her own and become a bold, brave young woman and I for one cannot wait to hear what she has been working tirelessly in the studio on. Here she is on <strong>ELLE UK</strong>, making this her first cover for a major UK publication. However, with that said I am not a huge fan of it. I do love the styling but the armpits are way to much of a focal point for my taste. </span></p> <p><span>For the 10 page spread shot at MILK Studios in Hollywood Miley is decked out in looks from </span><strong>Emilio Pucci</strong><span>,</span><strong> Fendi</strong><span>, </span><strong>Saint Laurent</strong><span> and </span><span><strong>Simone Rocha </strong>and more all  while rocking her signature mohawk.  </span></p> <p>In the article Miley finally dishes on where her relationship stands with fiance <em>Liam </em><span><em>Hemsworth</em>:</span></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span>“We have a house together and dogs, i</span><span>t just seems right to be wearing this ring and to be committed.

The faded out pastel colours, blonde wispy hair, delicate pink flowers and structured girlie as can be <strong>Prada</strong> number all contribute to what may be one of my favourite <strong>Harper’s Bazaar</strong> covers of the year. </p> <p>In the the inside editorial Carey dons pieces from the likes of <span><strong>Fendi</strong>, <strong>Bottega Veneta</strong> and <strong>Erdem</strong> as well as her husbands <strong>Hunter</strong> wellies. </span><span> </span></p> <p>In the issue hitting news stands today, Carey discusses playing Daisy, why she chose <strong>Prada</strong> on her wedding day and her prized note from <strong>Daniel Day-Lewis</strong>.</p> <p><strong>On playing Daisy in Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’:</strong> </p> <blockquote> <p><em>“Daisy was difficult to work out, but so fun to play… Baz also gave me about seven biographies of Zelda [Fitzgerald] and a stack of love letters from Ginevra [King]. You can so easily see where Fitzgerald has taken Daisy from. Just the way Zelda and Ginevra wrote – there were lines we stole for the script.”</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>On why she chose to marry in a Prada wedding dress:</strong> </p> <blockquote> <p><em>“I have worn a lot of <strong>Prada</strong> and always loved their clothes. I always felt very comfortable. They were the first designer house that ever lent me anything; I wore Prada to the Oscars. The people who work there are so lovely and really just non-scary fashion people.”</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>On Daniel Day-Lewis:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span>“He wrote me this beautiful handwritten note a couple of weeks afterwards just saying how nice it was to meet me and that he’d like </span>An Education<span>. His penmanship was beautiful. The note was the most beautiful thing. If my house was burning down I would save that. It is so precious.”</span></em></p> </blockquote> <p>For a little more Carey make sure to check out the latest trailer for ‘The Great Gatsby’ featuring <span> </span><span>Lana Del Rey’s </span><span>“Young and Beautiful” for the motion picture soundtrack.</span></p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AnUHtjqEKjU" width="560"></iframe></p> <hr><p><strong><strong><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/2385004/the-blonde-journal/follow" target="_blank">BlogLovin’</a>   :     <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ohthatbroad" target="_blank">Twitter</a>    :   <a href="http://instagram.com/theblondejournal" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></strong></strong></p> <p></p>http://theblondejournal.com/post/49369895410http://theblondejournal.com/post/49369895410Wed, 01 May 2013 13:36:00 -0400the great gatsbycarey mulliganHarper's Bazaar UKeditorialcoverscelebrityjune 2013<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e56df08f79791ce0a0d5f98ddde48145/tumblr_mm3bt0Gmff1qzio2oo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4f2d756af889d8a05f9d3100b1448a64/tumblr_mm3bt0Gmff1qzio2oo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/08fba0a46f3eb68608ae65a52b4091be/tumblr_mm3bt0Gmff1qzio2oo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/43644c00e48162eec57cb4efbeb24634/tumblr_mm3bt0Gmff1qzio2oo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><ul><li><strong>Fashion Magazine</strong></li> <li><em>May 2013</em></li> <li>Model: Isla Fisher</li> <li>Photographer: Chris Nicholls</li> <li>Stylist: Zein Esmail</li> </ul><p>Star of the much anticipated ‘<em>The Great Gatsby’, </em>37 year old actress <strong>Isla Fisher</strong> covers <strong>Fashion Magazine</strong>’s<em> May 2013</em> issue in a vibrant turquoise <strong><span>Burberry Prorsum</span></strong><span> dress while showcasing her signature flowing red locks.

Dressed in a vibrant canary yellow dress from <strong>Stella McCartney</strong>, Christina gives her best come hither gaze that she has become known for on <strong>HBO’s Mad Men</strong>.</p> <p>For the accompanying editorial shoot Christina dons garments from the likes of <strong>Dolce & Gabbana</strong>, <strong>Stella McCartney</strong> and more including one of her favourites,<strong> L’Wren Scott</strong>. Overall the looks had a very 50s, 60s italian seaside vibe that fit very well with Christina’s playful, retro sex appeal and the Beverly Hills home that surrounded her. </p> <p>Inside the issue Christina talks rejection, paparazzi and starring in <strong>Ryan Goslings</strong> new film:</p> <p><strong>On being rejected in the industry:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span>“I’ve been to a million auditions and have been rejected a million times, so it’s something that I’m used to. You’re either right for it or you’re not right for it. You could leave thinking you had the best audition in the world and they say you don’t look like the person I imagined.”</span></em></p> </blockquote> <p><span><strong>On Paparazzi:</strong><br/></span></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span>“I’m not out doing crazy things! I’m just not that famous, to be honest. I get to live a very normal life. I don’t have a situation like </span><strong>Jennifer Aniston</strong><span>, where I have people camped outside my house. I can take the garbage out and walk down the street and have ramen and it’s fine.”</span></em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>On starring in Ryan Goslings new film ‘How To Catch A Monster’:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><em><span>“Talk about feeling intimidated. Ryan called me and asked me if I was interested in doing this film and I said: ‘One, of course, yes, and two, why me? And three, I don’t want to disappoint you.’ He’s been fantastic, involving me artistically and letting me be along the road of casting and costume design. I’ve seen story boards and imagery and I’ve heard music. It’s the largest role I’ve ever had, so this is one I’m definitely aware of my anxiety about.”</span></em></p> </blockquote> <p>For a behind the scenes look at her cover shoot make sure to check out the video below.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QgZ8c_8TNyw" width="560"></iframe></p> <p></p> <hr><p><strong><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/2385004/the-blonde-journal/follow" target="_blank">BlogLovin’</a>   :     <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ohthatbroad" target="_blank">Twitter</a>    :   <a href="http://instagram.com/theblondejournal" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></strong></p>http://theblondejournal.com/post/49303121308http://theblondejournal.com/post/49303121308Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:24:00 -0400christina hendricksflare magazineflaremay 2013editorialcoversmax abadianlawren samplespotlightmagazinecelebrity<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/87e5df042f43c851a584ea48b8b97d8b/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ac623f26acfbbd08f78fe06ed4b5d86e/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7047b7c0d9999cef0877023a3699edd3/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1f131ad779940a8c6e885bf82eb6db57/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0bb827632550a6fc2f13e0ba290815d8/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/fca3447e5af6b091cf8d97c730c88d27/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/83ccde897707753caa4b425f6b346aee/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/91f61289eca2e57035981ef18c8d6810/tumblr_mm35zpauBs1qzio2oo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><ul><li><strong>Tank Magazine</strong></li> <li><em>Spring 2013</em></li> <li><em>The Print Palette</em></li> <li>Model: Antonina Vasylchenko </li> <li>Photographer: Toby Knott</li> <li>Stylist: Maya Zepinic</li> </ul><p>Your daily style inspiration.
