Nicholas Hoult Appreciation

So...Nicholas Hoult, huh?
Remember that time I said Tony wasn't my type? I'm talking about Nicholas Hoult's character Tony Stonem on the British TV show Skins, of course.  And while Tony still isn't my type (I'm more of a Cook gal - like Tony's l'il sis), Nicholas Hoult kinda is.
At first, I wasn't really digging his look.  I guess as Tony, he pulled off the arrogance really well and made me dislike him for being such a jerk.  He was the type of guy to take advantage of the weakness in women for cute guys.  Yes - what a cliché.  BUT Tony seemed to always win on the outside.  At least his friends (and viewers) knew what was up.

But enough about Tony.  His time is over.  Let's talk about the sparkly-eyed young lad in A Single Man.  Cool. Confused.  Open.  Honest.  These were the things Kenny was.  And Tom Ford's lens perfectly captured that spark in his eyes.  The wanting.  The yearning.  The eagerness.  The honesty.  If you haven't seen A Single Man, do yourself a favour and watch it.  I don't know why it took me so long to see it but thank goodness I finally did!
Even during the Oscar buzz around A Single Man, I still wasn't convinced about Nicholas Hoult.  To me, he was still Tony.  Arrogant, rude and just an all-around selfish person.  That is - until I kept seeing these photos floating around my Tumblr dash...




Well...hello there!  I knew Tom Ford would recruit you for some sort of a campaign after working with you on A Single Man but...Holy Mother!  You are quite the handsome devil!  I guess the Tony vibe was putting me off.  You know, because those guys are assholes but that was all I had to compare him to!  Until now.  Guh.
I think I prefer him better as a model.  AND I think he would've made the Prada show a little more...handsome. He could've replaced Garrett Hedlund - who was painfully out of place.


He could've rocked out ANY of the looks - especially these two:


That's okay. The Prada show was still wonderful. And I'm sure Nicholas has walked in a few shows anyway.

I can't wait to see more of him although I have to admit: I'm not too jazzed about that new zombie movie he's in.  While he's a swoon-worthy zombie (which is a thing now?), I'm not crazy about a swoon-worthy zombie seeing as zombies are my worst nightmare coming true.

We'll see how that one plays out...

In any case, I take back all the mean things I said about Mr. Hoult and hope to continue seeing him in more films and more fashion campaigns. 
Cheers to you, Nicholas Hoult!

Prada F/W2012 Menswear Runway Show

We're no strangers to actors walking the runway during Fashion Week and at Prada's Menswear Fall 2012 show at Milan Fashion Week, there were some familiar faces rocking the red carpet runway.

Aptly named "Prada Presents: Il Palazzo. A Palace of Role Play", the show featured "a parody of male power".  Fabrics and patterns were not as they seemed...
*Read HERE for the full review*

But while Miuccia Prada dazzled with her striking patterns and Steampunk / Edwardian / Sherlock Holmes-esque style, some famous faces stood out...

I am (and always will be) a fan of Emile Hirsch. He looked absolutely charming in this outfit.

How I've missed you Emile!

Adrien Brody KILLED this outfit. The red glasses, the red jacket, the slicked back hair and the walk.  THE WALK. 

I feel like a romance novelist thinking of ways to describe Adrien Brody here but I'll spare you...

Always the badass, Gary Oldman showed everyone how it was done on his turn down the red carpet runway.  

Just look at him!  He's making that outfit his bitch and although it might be constructed out of inexpensive material, it looks like it's worth $1,000,000,000.  He is owning it.  And look at that snarl.  Perfection.  No wonder he ended the show.  BAM.

Also in this show, I think I've found my latest inspiration...
 
His name is Lessandro Reyniers and he is WORKING that look.



You can see the complete collection here
See the video of the show here
You can see the other gifs here (with Tim Roth, Jamie Bell and Willem Dafoe)



You know who was missing though?  Nicholas Hoult and Jamie Campbell Bower...They would've added to the handsomeness.  Yes I am aware that I've said some not-so-nice things about Nicholas Hoult but after watching him in A Single Man and seeing his l'il face plastered all over my Tumblr dash from when he did that Tom Ford campaign, I must say he is quite the handsome fella!  But I will save that for another day..........
