Amber Heard in Vivienne Westwood at the Art of Elysium gala: beautiful or basic?

wenn23337803

Here are some photos from the annual pre-Globes Art of Elysium gala, an event which honored British designer Vivienne Westwood this year. Which means several ladies were chosen to show off Westwood’s designs, to mixed results. I actually like Westwood’s signature designs – often involving a built-in corset/bustier – but the execution can be hit or miss.

So, Amber Heard was one of the women wearing Westwood at the Elysium gala. It was red and boring. Would I have enjoyed this on someone else? Perhaps. But Amber is, as I’ve said before, an utter charisma vacuum. Beautiful and insubstantial. Plus, I’m tired of seeing her hair down and she needs to run a brush through it. I realize she’s trying to do the high-fashion “teased and matted” look, but it just looks like a rat’s nest. As for Johnny Depp… he looked half in the bag, per usual. But it does seem like he’s made an effort to de-bloat. Did he go on a diet? Also: HIS HAIR.

Camilla Belle in Carolina Herrera. I actually think the skirt is beautiful, and if she was wearing a gown made out of the skirt material, it might be one of my favorite looks. But the top is tragic. It’s really, really bad.

Minka Kelly in Monique Lhuillier. I don’t get this. This is a totally boring and dated gown which looks like a prom dress. Why? Why choose this?

Ed Westwick is everything to me. I love him.

    It pretty much looks the same as every other dress Amber has ever worn. She’s really into the cowl neck look.

  2. Stef Leppard says:

    Amber looks like a big mess. That dress needs to be on someone taller, maybe.

    • Loulou says:

      She looks like a Wild West saloon girl.

      • snakecharmer says:

        LOL yeah… tombstone or something… and her umm *rouge* looks like it was applied by a 93 year old lady with dementia… oh emm gee kaiser is freakin’ halarious with her writing on these fashion posts btw…😂😂😂

  3. Lucy says:

    I don’t know if your love for Ed is ironic or not, but I love him too!! He’s fabulous.

    • Chrissy says:

      Ed always gives me the crfeeps but here it I kind of looks like he visited Eddie Redmayne’s closet for this one. Same sense of humour or at least, the same look-at-me attitude.

  4. Elsa says:

    Amber looks good.That’s it.Johnny sure looks a lot better than the last time we saw him.Daily Fail has pics from inside and they were looking pretty smitten I might say.Sometimes I feel like they are that couple that will last a lot more than people expect them to.

    • mmm says:

      I think they already are that couple that last a lot more than the people expect them…when the rumors about them started, most of us (people) seemed to believe it was just an affair that would burn out soon. Then that they would never make it official. When they make it official that they will never last more than a few months. After when they got engaged, that they would never make it down the aisle. When they got married that they would divorce in a few months and etc, etc. I’m surprised already as far as they’ll go

      • Don't kill me I'm French says:

        +1

      • Liz says:

        You may be right BUT Depp’s usual relationship shelf life is 4 years. The marriage may gain her a few extra but without kids, I don’t think they’ll out last he and Paradis. So let’s see if she puts baby ahead of her suffocating career!

    Minka Kelly’s dress looks about 5 years old.
    Amber’s dress–my bridesmaids wore almost that exact dress in 1978 in another color. The cowl neck, fitted waist. I have to say it looked classic and simple back then and still does now.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Lucky bridesmaids, yours. Mine suffered the butt bow in shell pink. 😁

    • paleokifaru says:

      @Minx I agree about Minka’s dress but think the hair really added to it looking dated. With better styling and some accessories (which she could have worn since she wasn’t showcasing a Westwood!) it could have been a basic dress that was a backdrop for major jewelry.

  6. D says:

    Johnny Depp is working that Pacino hair. .. He always looks like he’s in need of a shower

  7. Locke Lamora says:

    I like Amber’s hair and makeup, but the dress is boring. Not as boring as Minka Kelly’s though.
    Ed looks awful. I’ve never gotten his appela, but then again, I couldn’t watch Gossip Girl. Rich kids complaining about their love life was a too much for me.

  8. Giddy says:

    Amber and Johnny always look like they indulged in a quickie on the way to whatever event. Messy and too shiny!

  9. CornyBlue says:

    I do not get the attendance of these events Is it like 4 A lists and then fill up the seats with C D lists?

  10. LAK says:

    JD looks so much better than he did in Venice.

    Chuck Bass 4evah!!!! 🙂

  11. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Amber needs to put her hair up or wear a different dress. The dress and hair a fighting each other.

    I love Carolina Herrera, but wtf?

    Who’s the little harlequin at the end?

  12. Tate says:

    How did he lose the bloat so fast???

    And did he fix his teeth??

    • Lo says:

      Doesn’t look like he did, it’s the only thing that’s bothering me, he looks good here otherwise

    • mmm says:

      Not, he still has the Jack Sparrow teeth
      I don’t think he lose the bloat fast. I think the “bloat” is more a bad hair and ill fitted clothes, like his tux in the Palm Spring Festival the past weekend
      Already at the People’s Choice Awards he looked fine and slimmer and that was wednesday, impossible to lose weight so fast. He only had good fitted clothes, just like in this event and a nicer hairstyle

    • MB says:

      You can lose up to 10 pounds overnight from certain prescription tablets which are designed to get rid of excess fluid retention. Stuff like Lasix, and the like. Could be that.
      He has definitely lost a LOT of bloat in a very short period, so I suspect something like that was what he used.

      • Tate says:

        Must be because he looked so much more bloated just a few days ago.

      • snakecharmer says:

        i agree lasix was the first thing that popped into my mind…his doc diuresed his azz to get him red carpet ready! now he just needs some foundation that not like kabuki white …

  13. Betti says:

    I actually like this dress on Amber – one of the better outfits I’ve seen her wear.

  14. Talita says:

    Johnny and Amber look awful as always. Their body language seems so uncomfortable.

  15. Fluff says:

    Her performance in Danish Girl was one of the worst I’ve ever seen, ever. She relentlessly overacts.

    • Liz says:

      I’ll second that. It’s downright insulting to the rest of that cast! No wonder the Brits don’t like letting Americans come play in their films. Yet notice they come over and snatch up all the good roles. Hollywood is all about fame, London is all about craft!

  16. Cali says:

    Amber and johnny’s body language is always super awkward. Red looks good on her but I agree with the person above who said she looks like a Wild West saloon girl. Hah.

    Lyla Garrity can do no wrong! She’s always adorable.

  17. Kirsten says:

    Johnny’s hair looks clean! It’s a miracle.

  18. Bridget says:

    Minka’s dress makes me think that everything good has already been claimed for the Golden Globes weekend.

  19. lucy2 says:

    I don’t mind the dress, or the hair, but together it’s a bit much. Plus she’s just annoying.

  20. lisa2 says:

    I saw a comment on another site and had to google to see. Amber’s dress looks just like the Vivienne Westwood dress Angelina Jolie Pitt wore at TIFF when she and Brad Pitt were there for Moneyball. Same top.. and material. Just a different color. They really do look the same. Could be from the same collection
    I don’t dislike the dress. Maybe if her hair was sleeker; in a ponytail or pulled up or back..

  21. Really? says:

    I think Johnny and Amber look great here. Johnny looks so much healthier in these pictures, thank god, he does not look like he is at death’s door now. I especially like that his hair style does not have the large ugly strand hanging in front of his face which he usually does. Amber is gorgeous as usual and they look happy together. I vote for happy, healthy and in love everyday.

  22. Azurea says:

    I like Amber’s hair! It’s Johnny’s that has the high fashion teased & matted look.

  23. Debutante says:

    Camilla Belle is not a good looking girl. That hairstyle does not help …..at all.

  24. CFY says:

    Amber’s mall hair always makes me sad. And too much bronzer/blusher here? I don’t know. I think she’s absolutely beautiful but in a forgettable, pick this white blonde actress out of a lineup way, and her styling never seems to do more to help her stand out.

    I was watching the first POTC movie last night and had a moment of sadness for the current state of JD’s health and career.

  25. Hejhej says:

    Johnny now looks like Michael Madsen.

  26. psi says:

    PR must have been reading here and told his stylist to wash and style his hair, to choose a little darker make up color for an overall healthier look and told the couple to light up the smiles. Lol

  27. Well says:

    They look gorgeous and Johnny looks clean. And healthy! 😀

    And I love Camilla Belle. Her movies aren’t very well known at all, but I always like them and her.

  28. kri says:

    Johnny. The tragedy continues. Perhaps that doubloon in the first “Pirates” movie really was cursed, because he looks like something that has just washed up from the darkest part of the ocean. Amber -pretty, but boring. You say “vacuum” I say “succubus”. Tomayto tomahto.

  29. Sara says:

    All hideous imo.

  30. Poisonous Lookalike says:

    The texture of Johnny’s suit screams 1970s, “Wow, look at this wonderful new fabric we invented—we’re calling it polyester!”

  31. Sunny says:

    That comment about Amber’s hair was a bit harsh 🙁 that’s what mine looks like naturally.

    • kate says:

      i hear ya! so does mine…. it’s even a similar color. oh well. I still like it and I’m sure your’s is just as awesome! 😉

  32. Kate Bush says:

    Johnny is looking way better here. Maybe he’s lost some weight hard to tell but you can see the old Johnny here… I’m pretty much in love with Amber’s hair also.. I like the tousled mane look lol

  33. Liz says:

    From other photos and the videos of these two, Amber was the one wasted and Johnny was holding her up and leading her along! She seriously could not focus on the red carpet. Me thinks she can keep up with the Deppster in whatever he’s indulging in! Or maybe that’s just what happens when Amber over acts for the cameras… Or is she on the final stage or morphing into Johnny?? And there are only a few shots of them inside, it’s not as hot and heavy as some make it sound. I mean, for them, sure it’s like “holly shit they almost made eye contact!” LOL

  34. DEEVIA says:

    Is Camilla Belle and Ali Lohan related?

  35. Calcifer says:

    I have to say, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have been RELENTLESS with their self-promotion as a couple these past few months. Or with the reviving of the Depp brand. Or with force-feeding us Amber Heard as a legitimate star. Or with whatever it is they are trying to convince us of. They sure have incredible stamina, and I feel that I am almost worn down, not able to put up any resistance anymore…

    • Liz says:

      NO! Do not give in to the darkness! LOL And yes, relentless. Who would’ve thought Johnny Depp would go all fame whore in your face on every red carpet? Damn Depp, we liked you because you were aloof….now aloof off PLEASE!

  36. Gonna be a contrarian. Amber’s make up is flawless and normally is so I don’t care so much about the boring hair and at least the dress fits mostly and isn’t terrible if not exciting.

  37. Yepisaidit says:

    Johnny looks decent here. I think he has hair plugs tho.

  38. steph o says:

    I swear, if you lined up every photo of Johnny from the past 6 months, you’d see the rotting/discoloration of his front teeth in a time lapse. I hope he decides to take care of himself, but I’m kind of resigned to his downward progression 🙁

  39. Sofacat says:

    Frankly, after today’s sad news, I couldn’t give a rat’s ass about this pair of attention-seeking morons.

  40. Fran says:

    Not an Amber fan, but I think she looks stunning here!

  41. JenniferJustice says:

    I actually think Amber is gorgeous here and I usually think she’s meh. Johnny even looks better – still bloated and bad teeth galore, but sober and hair combed, non-scarved. Better for him?

  42. Belle says:

    Amber looks like she’s trying (very hard) to convince Hollywood execs that she’s a fresh new just-discovered young thing, when everyone’s knows she’s a pretty face with no talent who’s married simply to (she thinks) help her career.
