Sorry, but it seems we don’t have any latex couture to report in this new sartorial round-up. But cosplayers and Batfans will be happy with the news below, as will those folks following Sydney Sweeney and Kate Winslet.
Starting with Winslet. On the recent December 5th episode of The Graham Norton Show, the 50-year-old actress appeared in a sleeveless, floor-length black leather mermaid gown, sporting a high neck. Accessorizing with black leather cuff bracelets and gold hoop earrings, Winslet took to the lively talk show with a ribald story of Eminem and her sure sense of sexy style.
Just this week Sydney Sweeney appeared at the L.A. premier of her movie The Housemaid pretty much channeling Marilyn Monroe. Wearing a while halter dress sporting a billowy skirt, there was no ignoring Sweeney’s ample-ness in the dress’s plunging décolletage. And as befits her personality and surely something Monroe had done aplenty when appearing before the rabid paparazzi, Sweeney posed with her dress fully fanned out.
Monroe’s infamous white halter gown from The Seven Year Itch, where the world caught so much of the actress as she stood over a New York street grate, didn’t sport feathers though, as Sweeney’s did.
Lately from the Gotham universe, we have seen the main Bat, in a new Dark Knight appearance, sporting his OG blue and gray suit.
With any number of upcoming DC releases to feature Batman and the infamous city he protects, there are as much as will be new live action movies as animated Batman’s. Bat-Fam, running on Prime Video presently, features the Bat-Family and in this animated show Batman is seen (mainly) in an all-black costume, featuring the well-known yellow oval sporting the bat symbol. But as the Bat-Fam stories evolve we see the caped crusader wearing the equally well-known blue and grey suit.
The series’ episode # 8,”An Interview With a Batman,” during an interview with Vicki Vale, for reasons integral to the story, Bruce wears his blue and gray suit to appear less menacing. The yellow oval he sports in this costume features a different shape of bat.
In live-action, Adam West’s Batman from the 1960s series is closest to this color scheme, while DC’s Justice League from the Super Friends cartoon (see above), which ran from 1973 to 1985 also carried forward with this color scheme in their portrayal of Batman.
So, this week: some Sweeney, some Winslet and some Bat.
