Tilda Swinton graces Britain’s Best Dressed list, stars in a new ‘Kevin’ trailer

weneedtotalk7

There’s a gorgeous new poster for Lynne Ramsay’s We Need To Talk About Kevin, which stars our very favorite alien, Tilda Swinton. During our discussion of Tilda’s fear that she (and all mothers) would give birth to the devil, we already covered the international trailer, which many of you thought wasn’t nearly creepy enough. Well, here’s the official U.S. theatrical trailer, which I think may do the trick if you’re not already convinced:

Damn, that Ezra Miller is good stuff, and I don’t mean that in a perverted way (he’s only 19!), but rather, in regards to his talent. That kid is going to go many places, first in foremost in my nightmares.

Tilda has also just been named to the Harper’s Bazaar Britain’s Best Dressed of 2011 list. She lands in fifth place behind the Duchess of Cambridge, Florence Welch, Andrea Riseborough, and Kate Moss. Judge Philip Treacy justifies Tilda’s inclusion as follows: “Tilda has balls. Fashion is a throwaway experiment to her. She’s the ultimate in transformation.” How amusing for Tilda, who probably feels equally dispassionate about fashion as she claims to feel about acting as well. Yet she can’t fool us for long with her talk of retirement. Tilda was born for the big screen, and she won’t get away that easily.

Here are the Tilda’s red-carpet looks of 2011. Does she belong on the list? Absolutely. Would I ever be able to pull off any of these looks? Never in my wildest, alien-landscape dreams.

    you can’t see me, but I am curtseying right now.

  2. MeMyself says:

    Right on Aenflex-love me some Tilda.
    She is so different, so quirky, so talented and beautiful.

  3. Sasha says:

    Tilda is the perfect example of a woman who wears the clothes, not the other way around: it is HER, her presence, her attitude, not the clothing, that matters in each of those pics. She’d look the same if she wore a burlap sack. Total awesomeness.

  4. gg says:

    I know everybody’s drinking the koolade, but I’m sorry – she just always looks like David Bowie’s sickly younger brother to me. She’s a convincing enough actress but a little makeup sure goes a long way.

  5. Jaime says:

    Two questions
    (1) Has she ever heard of mascara? It is everyone’s friend! USE IT!
    (2) Have you seen the sun lately? Everyone needs their Vitamin D!

  6. Original Chloe ) says:

    I love Tilda. This is totally unrelated but I *love love love* Tilda.

    There.

  7. Audrey says:

    She is so awesome. Look at her eyes in that poster! That is acting.

  8. Jackie says:

    i have drunk the kool aid…she is fabulous.

    great poster. looking forward to the flick!

  9. Isa says:

    Well said Sacha # 3, ITA.

  10. the original bellaluna says:

    Cannot WAIT to see this movie. Tilda AND Ezra? FABULOUS!

  11. Eleonor says:

    Tilda totally deserves it: she often wears unusual dresses,and she does it with class. She is brave, peculiar, and always elegant.

  12. JuliaDomna says:

    Anderson Cooper in a dress.

  13. serena says:

    Ezra Miller..HOT!

  14. ocean says:

    this woman scares me!

  15. DreamyK says:

    Love! Fab!

  16. Ann says:

    “Anderson Cooper in a dress.”

    Maybe that’s what Cooper wishes!

  17. gg says:

    She is definitely unusual, and that counts for a lot these days.

  18. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Love her ways. Everyone plays Pirate Tits McGoo and Ass Fantasical–play is for children, a woman’s wardrobe can explore worlds outside of that and this woman’s explores galaxies outside of that, and when nigh on every outfit can’t be described without the phrase ‘only she could pull it off’, you can’t deny the notice that engenders.

    Well-Dressed: This pantsuit was made for Celebrity X.

    Best-Dressed: Pantsuits were made for Tilda–at least, if in that moment you can get people to think that, something pretty cool is going on in your closet.

    I just think it’s fun to see that ‘different’ can sometimes mean something other than ‘a different shade of ‘tight”.

  19. Lisa says:

    Do not get her appeal. I think she has lovely bone structure and could probably look very modelesque if she put makeup on.
