Mirror Mirror on the wall... Who's the Fairest of them All...

Charlize Theron, Evil Queen, Snow White and the Huntsman

 

Recently this question has been repeated over and over again, well actually it been repeated two times this year, I just feeling a bit hyperbolic… first in Julia Robert’s “Mirror mirror” and now in Charlize Theron’s “Snow White and The Huntsman”. Both infused their own spin on evil queen’s character, but I love how Charlize bring the evil queen into a new level of mean.


Yeah, I know the movie was long, the casts was overcrowded, the ending kinda rushed, and I kinda not feelin’ Kristen Steward as the Snow White. Nonetheless, if I have to rate, I’ll give this movie “B” and my main reason is Charlize Theron.

It’s hard to believe that in that movie there is a maiden fairer than the queen, and yes I’m aware that Kristen Steward and Lily Cole was there too, and they are gorgeous, but Charlize is in the class of her own, have you seen her butter like Skin, her beautiful body, or her platinum locks? Maybe the mirror needs new glasses.

Well, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, let’s skip this topic…

I noticed the Evil Queen’s Costumes are so striking, with menacing silhouettes, so I’ve done some research about the costumes… they are truly one of the kind, designed by  Coleen Atwood, a three times Academy Award Winner for Best Costume.

First, Her Wedding Gown, The architectural structure on the Shoulder, made from leather piping on the pleads, makes the Upper area of the gown look like it was made from bones

 Then, We have the Beetle wing dress which is almost never saw the light, it only appear few seconds on the film, well.. so much effort for the dress, because it was made from thousand iridescent beetle wings imported from Thailand.

And the last look that stand out from this film is The Raven colored cape made from rooster feather, combined with ivory colored gown that embroidered so well, it resemble the evil queen’s old peeling skin.

My Personal favorite is her Crown… that the key element that makes her look so beautiful, but so evil at the same time…
