| Tilda as the White Queen in Narnia |
I first saw Tilda Swinton as the White Queen in Chronicles of Narnia and thought she was so cool in costume. In real life though, she has a very masculine style and can look androgynous even. Then I rented the movie I Am Love on iTunes and fell instantly in love with the look.
The film is set in Milan where Tilda plays the Russian immigrant wife of a prominent and wealthy Italian family. She later falls for and runs away with the chef. There's a bit more to the movie than that but it's not what I want to focus on on this post. Unfortunately, the movie was never shown in Manila and I have not seen it in any of the DVD stores hence the rental.

| What she wore to lunch with the equally chica mother in law. |

| She wore this with a very light white cardigan. Wish there was a shot of the back of the dress available because it has a low square back. Very sexy and feminine but not at all slutita levels. |
She wore the above ensemble while going around the city doing errands -- picked up the dry cleaning, etc. Totally un-Manila like. But super love it!

| Evening gown. Sigh. |

| Very cool and classy. Makes me think of Grace Kelly. |

Casual look

A lot of women can take a lesson in dressing appropriately for your age from this movie. There's nothing worse than a woman in her fifties trying to look like she's in her 20's. It IS possible to be that age and still look classically beautiful and well put together. I think it's great that this classic look epitomized by Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Onassis is making a comeback thanks to series like Mad Men. At last a respite from the Madonna, Lady Gaga, Nicky Minaj styling. No offense meant.
