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.

Who do you think ruled the red carpet yesterday?

  1. I just closed my eyes and offered a silent prayer for the fabric used/wasted in the creation of Solo’s dress. Calling the maker of her dress a designer is akin to the thought of calling Rob Ford “Mr. Mayor.”
    My eyes, my eyes…

  2. actually it looks like she (Solo) may have got her dress at Honest Eds. Winona will clearly be in distress seeing herself in this pic. It truly did no justice for her seeing that you can peek into her waistline. But what to do.. what to do…?

  4. I would wear Natalie’s dress in a second. She looks classy and elegant without being overdone.

  5. Um… Are you guys kidding? Featuring Biko? Biko is a cross dressing prostitute. For real. That is a man. How did he get on a red carpet?

  6. Why aren’t all of the subjects’ names in the headline? All of the other articles have all of the subjects’ name in the headline. Why only Portman and Ryder?
