Keeping up with couture from the yearly Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions (always a good chance to catch some latex couture on a rocker or two), looking into the just-released The Devil Wears Prada 2 teaser, and reporting on some wicked (but not exactly that Wicked) news is what this end-of-the-week news round-up is all about.
At the R&RHF ceremony held in LA last week, the stars were out and about in a stunning array of alternate fashions.
Just a few notables include:
Teddy Swims in his fringed trench covering a leather chainmail shirt. Jennifer Hudson wearing an all-black leather minidress with matching knee-high boots. Jack White wore a bright red blazer over a black button-down shirt and white tie. Chappell Roan strutted in wearing a skirt made of newspaper. And Janelle Monáe, turned out as usual in something startling, wore a Tod Browne layered suit, a voluminous combination of sleeves, pleated kilts, and a coat with extra arms
If you fear you’ll be all but hyper-ventilating across the next six months for a shot of Prada, you can satiate yourself on the teaser trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 that dropped this week. Opening with a clicking of ruby red heels sporting metal studs on someone who not only walks purposefully but causes everyone around them to walk out of their way, we get snippets of fashion scenes accompanying that clicking mixed with Madonna’s’ “Vogue.” The camera finally rises to identify the walker, who we all knew all along, of course, as Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly entering an elevator. Just as the doors close, they open again as Anne Hathway’s Andy Sachs walks in, stands next to her boss, says her name, then Priestly quips, “Took you long enough,” while Sachs dons sunglasses just like the ones her boss is wearing.
And lastly, happening a scant few weeks from the premiere of a different but just as anticipated movie, Wicked: For Good, Heritage Auctions is putting Margaret Hamilton’s The Wizard of Oz witch’s hat up for auction on December 9th. This is the same auction house that sold a pair of ruby slippers from the iconic 1939 film last year for $28. Million.
Will the hat be considered an even more valuable fashion accessory for some financially flush collector?
