TIFF Fashion Poll: Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder at the Black Swan premiere
We spotted these ladies at last night’s premiere of Black Swan. Who do you think was best dressed?
Natalie Portman: While she looks gorgeous, we think Portman took the film’s title a little too literally. Biko Beauttah: A second interpretation of the swan theme (a frock fashioned from swan and ostrich feathers and designed by Ryerson grad Jennifer Allison) suits us far better. Winona Ryder: And the award for most awkward corset application goes to... We don’t know who’s more uncomfortable: Ryder in this photograph or us, having to stare directly at her cleavage. Ksenia Solo: Clearly someone went shopping at a Pussy Cat Dolls yard sale. We’re not quite sure where to focus our condemnation here: the corseting, the see-through fabric or the false eyelashes attached to the top and bottom of the dress.
