Helena Bonham Carter’s fashion sense is joyfully, excessively crazy

kings_speech_photocall_18_wenn3059146

Wow, Helena Bonham Carter has some tittays, doesn’t she? These are photos from the London Film Festival’s photo call for The King’s Speech, the film that will likely garner Colin Firth his Best Actor Oscar (not to jinx it or anything, but this needs to happen). While Colin did his best to look dashing and gorgeous, and Geoffrey Rush did his best to look like himself, Helena Bonham Carter (who plays Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother in the film), looked all kind of weird. But it’s a delightful weird. I think the suit is Vivienne Westwood, but HBC can make ANYTHING look like Vivienne Westwood. I can deal with the boots (hideous with this suit), and I can deal with the black glasses (kind of cute, actually), but what I find slightly ridiculous is that HBC has her tittays out.

By the way, I think Colin is still being styled by Tom Ford. That’s the only explanation I have for those jeans, and that sexy face and the way he’s carrying himself. I think Tom Ford has a vested interest in Colin Firth’s style from now on. How could Tom Ford resist? Colin is so f-cking cute.

    yeah, i’m not seeing that problem at all with HBC. are we looking at the same photos? think she looks great!

  2. JaisyMaisy says:

    Time for some White Strips, HBC.

  3. Kitten says:

    She’s awesome. End of story.

  4. mln says:

    I barely see any HBC cleavage but all I can say is Mr Darcy is still so hot.

  5. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    Seriously the best HBC has ever looked.

  6. LolaBella says:

    I think she looks great!

    I mean have you SEEN some of her past red carpet get-ups??? Compared to them she looks well styled and put together here.

    Is it just me or does she look a bit like Salma Hayek in these pics?

    Yay Bellatrix!

  7. Meanchick says:

    I love that she is so anti-style.

  8. gee says:

    I really love the boots, and I really love the suit. Maybe not together, but I mean LOVE. Her hair looks good, her glasses are on point… she’s all sorts of win! YAY for HBC!

  9. K says:

    HBC wins at everything. So eccentric and strange and lovely. Classic HBC.

    🙂

  10. Novaraen says:

    HBC looks awesome…although the boots are a bit scary. Oh well…that’s HBC for ya. 🙂

    Colin looks yummy too!

  11. spinner says:

    Hubba hubba…HBC looks so sexy & beautiful. Weird?? Yes. Love her. I remember the first time I saw her was in Room With A View. She was superb.

  12. la_chica says:

    even with the quirkyness she is SEXY

    of partially because of?!? Think about if she was in a Herve Legar dress, stilettos and big starlet hair..she’d look like everyone else! and BORING!

  13. kimmm says:

    HBC looks amazing in my opinion , I just can’t stand her teeth ! So discolored .

    What boobage are you talking about ?

  14. texasmom says:

    I think she looks refreshingly different than her usual Bellatrix LeStrange get-ups. This is the only thing I’ve seen her in in years that doesn’t look like it is from the 19th century!

  15. Liane says:

    Helena looks AMAZING. Her outfit is stunning and I LOVE the glasses. And who cares if she’s showing cleavage? She looks great!

  16. Eileen says:

    I LOVE her-She’s like a goth Betsey Johnson! I would LOVE to dress like that!

  17. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    I love her, she’s so quirky and never scared to be herself. No wonder Johnny Depp likes to work with her.

    Colin is sooo sexy.

  18. maggiegrace says:

    CF is the hotness. I just saw, “A Single Man” last weekend. So poignant.

  19. KJ says:

    Uh, what boobs? I see a hint of cleavage but nothing more than what would be shown in a v-neck shirt.

  20. V says:

    i love her so o o

  21. Stubbylove says:

    I love Helena. She’s gorgeous and a fantastic actress. She looks pretty normal here compared to her other getups!

  22. Amanda says:

    Wow. I’d forgotten how sexy Colin Firth is. Ty for this post, going to dust off my copy of Pride & Prejudice tonight.

  23. I Choose Me says:

    Um, what titties? Love Helena, and love her outfit it’s so her, boots and all.
    And yes Colin needs to win an Oscar already.

  24. Eleonor says:

    I love her! She usually wears strange/crazy things which on her make sense; I can’t even imagine her with some goddes-diva-style haute couture dress.

  25. I Choose Me says:

    Why is every post of mine suddenly in moderation? That never used to happen before. What’d I say?

  26. Obvious says:

    Helena is looking like a WIN to me. she’s looks fantastic and i adore her every eccentric move and get up. She really could careless what people say. Love her for it.

    Now Colin….*drool* damn he looks amazing! I hope he wins this year.

  27. lu says:

    Colin is soooooo handsome, I can’t take my eyes off of him.
    Helena ,what?

    HGF for Colin?

  28. aang says:

    helena b who? all i can see is mr. darcy

  29. Annicka says:

    I adore Helena no matter what she does and I love the ridiculous stuff she wears.

    But Helena, PLEASE, a toothbrush! I’m no dental nazi, but please brush your teeth!

  30. Randomness says:

    One, I want those boots.
    Two, they are both amazing actors and I full heartedly want him to win an oscar for this picture.
    Three, just give me the damn boots

  31. Jeri says:

    Remember the pictures of her Mother, she dresses the same way so HBC grew up dressing like this, not just something she started doing for attention.

  32. bee no.2 says:

    The style is cute for her, but I can’t see past her teeth, is she a heavy smoker?

  33. Heather says:

    Nothing aginst Helana Bonham Carter, but I could care less when Colin Firth is next to her! God, I love that man!

  34. Stephy2585 says:

    I see no boobage.

  35. stella9 says:

    The teeth could do with some whitening, but otherwise, she’s looking good!

  36. Camille says:

    Love HBC, I think she looks amazing (and I don’t care that her teeth aren’t blinding Americana white either 😉 ).

    Colin looks the best I have ever seen him too.

  37. Mary says:

    Love her glasses. Does anyone know the brand name of eyeware she has on ?

  38. Lukie says:

    She lost me when she went on her rant about not giving up coffee or cigarettes during her pregnancy.

    With that said, I think this is one of the few times I have seen her clothes match.

  39. Amy says:

    Well this is definitely better than some of the clothes I’ve seen her in. It really wouldn’t bother me all that much if she stopped styling her hair like a mad scientist/as if she just got out of bed. It’s always twisted weirdly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it natural. There is taking a stand against fashion and just being sloppy with your personal appearance.

  40. Tredd says:

    She’s wonderful! And how nice to have something besides Dumb Cookie-Cutter Blonde to look at for a change! Love her!

  41. Nanea says:

    After seeing those CF pics, I could care less about HGF, sorry Kaiser, even if you’re already putting thought and work into it.

    Unless you were to have a HGF/CF special, with the usual CO as a dessert. 😉

  42. Diva says:

    I see a suit with a camisol, I see hardly any “boobage”, barely even any cleavage! I’m not sure what you’re talking about, there.

    I LOVE HBC… like, love, love, love! And I would seriously, and TOTALLY dress like her in a frickin’ heartbeat if I, A) Could afford it. That vintage stuff is NOT cheap! And B) Had the figure for it like she does! I love every single crazy get-up she’s ever put on, and she makes it look effortless!

    As for her teeth… I don’t think it’s that she doesn’t brush them, cos they’re not rotting out of her head, but holy heck she needs a whitening. It’s the coffee and cigarettes someone else mentioned (not cool in pregnancy, I didn’t know she said that!). Those two things make your teeth that dingy tan/yellow hue she’s got going on. And yeah, I wish she’d do something about it cos it really distracts from her gorgeous face!

  43. Diva says:

    Don’t sweat it, I Choose Me… mine are, too. Even deleted completely sometimes when I’ve said nothing offensive at all!

  44. Shirylgirl67 says:

    She’s a breath of fresh air in a business that is obsessed with fashion.
    She’s beautiful.

  45. Shirylgirl67 says:

    PS Colin Firth looks better than he did 20 years ago.

  46. Bubbling says:

    Wow I’m so happy for the positive comments!!! Helena wins all the time. You gotta love her and Tim together, they are so “lunatic chic” aren’t they?

  47. truthSF says:

    I clicked on the post because it was about HBC, one of my favorite actress. But once I saw Colin (Mark Darcy) Firth, I lost all interest in HBC and anything else about this article except for my dream man. Damn that man can wear the sh*t out of a pair of jeans, hubba hubba!!

  48. kimberly says:

    she looks as good as anyone else you see in those frames. . . like that animated version of chicken little.

  49. dragonlady sakura says:

    Love her! She wears what she wants and doesn’t care what others think. This is the best I’ve seen her look.

  50. bunny wabba says:

    hey this is who she is. would you rather she wore a micromini with red soled pumps?

  51. velcrodots says:

    Colin Firth, HBC and Geoffery Rush, they are literally 3 of my favourite actors ever and in one movie – I’m gonna have to pay to see it twice or something

  52. Candy says:

    I love the school marm look, understated, and the glasses! How much more perfect can she get? A real sweetheart….

    I was never into Colin Firth but I think I’m starting to get it. Will definitely make this a must see movie as Geoffrey Rush is an all time favorite as well!

  53. Anti-icon says:

    She seems delightfully kooky, married to the right guy, and she can act. She’s been so great in so many films.

  54. Alicia says:

    She can wear a garbage bag and a piece of shit as a hat and still look good cause she is awesome, she, unlike many others, IS a good actress and super cool.
    I really like how she is very true to her non conventional style

  55. girl says:

    I like her. She pulls off i-don’t-give-a-damn pretty well.

  56. M says:

    I REALLY love HBC… but gosh, why doesn’t she do something about those yellow teeth already????

  57. jemshoes says:

    We’re so used to celebrities whitening their teeth, we forget that normal people doing normal things like eating and drinking (and, for some, smoking) will have discoloured teeth. HBC’s teeth really say who she is (ie anti-fashion, anti-Hollywood) – just as much as what she wears. And you have to admire her spunk in going against the grain!

  58. Kate says:

    I love her love her love her.

    Love everything she does.

    I love that she is intelligent and does nothing to hide it.

    I love that she occasionally dresses like a bag lady/real-life Mrs. Lovett.

    I love that she lives next door to the father of her children with some quirky little door seperating them.

    I love that she is fair-skinned and has never succumbed to tanning.

    I love that she is a great actress who has consistently made bold choices throughout the years.

    Love. Her.

  59. Wresa says:

    I love Colin Firth! He will always be the real Mr. Darcy to me.

    I also love Helena. One of the first films I saw her in was Howard’s End. She is absolutely perfect. And I love her quirks. Makes me feel a little more comfortable with mine. 😉

  60. gg says:

    I am so glad she brushed her hair. But I don’t think she has big boobs at all.

  61. Molly says:

    I like Helena, & she does look put together here (for her). What’s tragic here is the horrible lipstick!!

  62. Willow says:

    Colin has def had some work done, maybe botox? as he’s looking younger every year…but not complaining one bit! He is just one wonderful man *sighs*
    And how I wish I could be the best friend of HBC (giggles thinking how her name should be HBiC). Oooh what fun we’d have. Such pots stirred by mere outfits alone, peevish little people to irritate. Imagine if something really outlandish were done? It’s not like flashing boobs or bums eh? HBC manages to fascinate without losing an inch of integrity. Love her!!!

  63. curegirl0421 says:

    I love her so much, always have… she can wear whatever she damn well pleases. And COLIN FIRTH OMFG.
