Here are some photos of Helena Bonham Carter and Colin Firth promoting The King’s Speech at the Berlin Film Festival. I love how Helena looks completely over it before she even steps on the red carpet. As I write about HBC more and more, I’ve begun to realize how child-like she is, and I don’t mean that in a patronizing way. I think she’s child-like in the way that she doesn’t really feel the need to put on a “professional” face and act like she’s having the time of her life on every red carpet. She’s bored, and she looks bored, but she still does her job and gives good interviews and shows up like a good girl who is being told what to do. At this point, I really think HBC is doing all of this to support Colin, who she clearly adores. Colin is the one who puts on his “professional” face and acts like each red carpet is another magical journey. They’re both lovely, in different ways.

I’m not sure about HBC’s dress. I’m assuming it’s Vivienne Westwod, just because that’s what it looks like and Helena wears so much VW. I like that the dress and shrug are a little bit crazy and fun – it gives me high hopes that she’s really going to bring it for the Oscars. I seriously cannot wait.
