#oz the great and powerful
Best Dressed This Week
Excluding the beautiful grammy dresses on Monday, these are my top five picks this week!
Beyonce hit the red carpet for her ‘Life Is But A Dream’ premiere, her new reality documentary wearing a stunning floor-lenght embellished Elie Saab from the Spring/Summer 2012 Couture collection.
Mila Kunis was at the premiere of her new film 'Oz The Great and Powerful’ in Hollywood this week, wearing a stunning classical Dolce and Gabbana dress, with layered nude lace detail, she teamed it with metallic Louboutins and earrings by Sutra.
Olivia Wilde attended the Calvin Klein show in New York this week, wearing a blue netted dress, statement coat and black heels all by the brand. She teamed it with a sleek ponytail, aviator sunglasses and a croc clutch.
Another fashion week entry, with Olivia Palermo at the Marchesa show, she hit the front row with the brands very own AW embellished frock coat, teaming it with skinny jeans and black pump heels.
Victoria Beckham after a busy week showing her two collections at NYFW, hit the shops for some retail therapy in New York in cropped wide-leg trousers and a neat black sweater - all from her collection. She teamed this with Manolo Blahnik heels and another one of her collection must-have bags.

I actually thought the recent film Oz the Great and Powerful was pretty fun, (and more spooky and emotionally engaging than I was expecting).
I have to take issue with the press its getting, specifically I’d like to respond to this
It’s not sexist, so much as it portrays certain realities of early 20th Century mid-western gender relations/assumptions. Further, the active female characters and their plans for Oz shape the plot and conflict - James Franco’s Wizard gets caught and used in these but ultimately taught a lesson so that he’s not the person wielding early 20th century mid-western gender relations/assumptions, as in the beginning. He is no-longer dehumanizing ‘the Other’. Still, true to life, those early sins have wrought pain upon the present.
As a re-imagining of existing material it was surprisingly reverent without being awful, and it skips right along. Though it probably looks strange if not in 3d.
They changed tin man in the reboot.
