Harry Potter #4 debuts in London, draped in velvet
I don't know who styled the cast and guests at the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night, but I think they took the "velvet is in this fall/winter" theme a little far. Let's start at the top with the star of the show, Daniel Radcliffe who of course plays the role of Harry Potter himself. What the hell is Daniel wearing? Although this picture doesn't show it, other photos revealed that this jacket is knee length. That's right: he's wearing a dark green velvet suit complete with knee length jacket. Now I'm no fashion plate but you wouldn't find my dead, stiff, rotting corpse draped on head to toe green velvet - no effing way. So I ask, can anyone tell me why this kid is smiling?
There's more where that came from too. Check out Rupert Grint, who, unbelievably, looks cooler in blue velvet than anyone else who turned up on the Red Carpet. If only he could act!
The kid who's playing Cedric Diggory also dons velvet and probably would have taken home the award for best dressed had he passed on the leather pants. 17 year old boys shouldn't be wearing leather pants, period. Wait until you get through college before you try anything like this, people, unless you're in an LA metal band or you're gay. It's that simple.
But first place on this evening, proving yet again that all the money in the world - and Kabbalah - still can't buy a dime's worth of taste, I give you Madonna, shown here with 9 year old daughter Lourdes. On paper, I suppose, she's hitting all the right notes: the hottest color for fall/winter is purple and velvet is a very hot fabric at the moment - just look in the windows of any fashionable department store. However, Her Madge-sty wore this crazy ensemble that makes her look like a swashbuckling 70's Chelsea drag queen - certainly an interesting look to aspire to if that's how you wanna roll - but not the kind of look that gets buzz from Pedro.
Oh Lordy, Madge!
All that being said, I'm still a huge Potter fan and I'm looking forward to seeing this installment at a special screening hosted by some friends on the 16th - two days before domestic release - because that's just how we bring it here at Pedro's NYC and the Giblets of Besteverness.
