Jessica Chastain’s NYC promotional look: adorable or unflattering?

FFN_Chastain_Jess_KRD_082714_51513962

James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain are both in NYC this week to promote The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, formerly Him & Her (two interconnected films). I was just enjoying these photos and I decided to pay it forward. James McAvoy is the imaginary boyfriend to many of you, so enjoy.

Jessica has been photographed a lot this week – there are lots of new photos of her out with her Italian boyfriend, but these photos (from Wednesday) are just of Jessica with her much-beloved three-legged dog, Chaplin. I can’t say that I’m loving Jessica’s current hairstyle. It’s not even just about the bangs (although the bangs are bad). It’s the overall frumpiness. It’s really dated and not youthful in the least. I’m also kind of wondering if anyone else is getting a pregnancy vibe from Jessica? Is it just a bad dress? Jessica also has a good interview with The Wrap that’s worth mentioning – she talks about the need for more female-driven, female-perspective films.

As for your boyfriend McAvoy, he was on The Late Show with David Letterman last night. He told the same story about his bachelor party, which he’s told many times before. He also said he gets mistaken for Ewan McGregor a lot. His Scottish accent is the bomb. SO HOT.

Oh, and McAvoy did his Ice Bucket Challenge last week. IT WAS HOT. Chastain did one too but I’m not embedding it.

    But what did she think of the Brangelina wedding???

    Just kidding. Jessica’s always had bad style.

  2. Luciana says:

    I just love what Jessica said about ScarJo and female action movies. Girl power!

    • lucy2 says:

      Me too!
      Speaking of girl power, can we please stop throwing the word pregnant out there every time an actress gains a pound or wears a less than flattering dress?

  3. Samtha says:

    It somehow manages to be both cute and unflattering.

    • mimif says:

      Yeah, I’m conflicted. I want to like it, but the individual elements aren’t adding up. Beautiful color tho.

  4. Twinkle says:

    Disgareeing with you Kaiser, bangs are very on trend right now. She looks cute.

    • lana86 says:

      her bangs are fine -not great, but fine. Dont know about the trend, but I think bangs are really working for lots of people. Like, some faces look distinctly better with them – mine, for instance!

  5. LK says:

    I must be from another planet since i like it.

  6. Diana says:

    That dog is the most precious thing ever!!!

  7. Nur says:

    James has the exact right amount of scruff and cute here. This is when he is soooo irresistable for me. Swoon..

    • ichsi says:

      I’m sorry, I know this post is about Jessica, who I adore btw, but how can anyone look at something other than James’ shoulders in the glorious ALS video? He is beefing up for something and I’m very much alright with it!

  8. lisa says:

    it’s cute far away. love the color on her. but the horizontal seam at the top and whatever is going on in the middle are not cute

  9. Ash says:

    I like the color, but unflattering, the ensemble make her look chubby, which I know she isn’t. I hate the bangs trend. I’ve never been big on bangs, but maybe that’s, because I like my bangs long, and bad short ones has a kid like JChas.

    I can never stop chuckling when I see a fringe referred to as bangs. Wherever did that come from?
    And bang means something entirely different here in the UK – and I don’t mean a loud noise (well perhaps!)

    • Ash says:

      In the US, the word “bangs” are interchangeable with “fringe.” But, more commonly referred to as bangs. I’m sure there’s plenty more things that are silly we Americans do.

      I was just born here. I think it’s funny when talking to Brits,I had the experience not long ago, and it’s easy to forget that Americans tend to use the Fahrenheit. We were talking about the different weather in different states. When I said the hottest it tends to get in my area normally is about 90 degree, rarely 100, his face, poor lad.

      The difference make fun conversations though.

      Do the Brits hate the American accents? I hate mine, I have a lame Midwestern Ohio accent.

      • joe spider says:

        Well people of a certain age (like me) are happy to talk in Fahrenheit, and feet and inches especially. Since decimalisation in the 1970s kids are taught in Centigrade and metres and centimetres (meters to you I guess). Of it gets to 90 degrees here it is headline making.

        Can’t speak for other Brits but your accents vary so much as do ours that I like some and dislike others. I have trouble understanding people who come from the North East of England and the Liverpool accents sound as if they all need their adenoids removing!

  11. kri says:

    Hate her fringe. I love James’s thighs.

  12. joe spider says:

    Why do so many men wear trousers that are too long, often tight at the ankle so they wrinkle up and look scruffy?

  13. FrenchLily says:

    I like Jessica. She’s really pretty and she was great in Zero Dark Thirty. And sorry but she doesn’t look pregnant at all to me. As Lucy2 said above, I find it annoying that everytime an actress seems to have gained a little weight she’s immediately suspected of being pregnant !

    And I looooooove James * sigh* <3

    • Ash says:

      I don’t think she looks remotely pregnant. I just think the high waist makes her looks a bit chubby instead of her usual slim. She could just be bloated too.

  14. taxi says:

    The dress isn’t flattering & the bangs are meh.

  15. Natalia says:

    I love James so much, every time I look at him I feel like crying, i can’t deal with this man, he’s utter perfection.
    And idk why everyone is mad about Chastain’s looks, she’s just as beautiful as ever.
