Helen Mirren rocks a shiny crimson suit: gorgeous or overdone?

These are some photos from last night’s London premiere of The Debt, that Nazi-huntin’ film that’s been out in the US for weeks. I saw it on its opening weekend, and I already reviewed it here – it’s a deeply flawed film, but I didn’t flat-out hate it. Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain were good, Sam Worthington is no longer just a dumb meathead to me, and I’m now in love with Marton Csokas, who is like the budget Clive Owen (and Budget Clive is nothing to sniff at, let me say). Anyway, London premiere, new photos. Helen Mirren looked stunning AGAIN. Bitch almost always gets it right. Last night she wore this gorgeous crimson silk dress/suit that looks absolutely stunning on her. She accessorized perfectly too – simple, classic jewelry, black clutch, hair back. Classy. Elegant. Beautiful. She has a cute ass too.

Next up: Jessica Chastain, who plays the younger version of Helen Mirren (they play the same character, 30-some years apart). I’m not really on the Chastain bandwagon quite yet – yes, I think the girl is talented, and I think it’s interesting that she’s in every movie this year and yet I basically don’t know anything about her. But she seems rather… I don’t know, bland? Maybe that’s how she wants to seem, so that she can become any character. If she’s aiming for bland, she’s succeeded. Her dress is Vivienne Westwood – it’s pretty, but something’s off with the look as a whole. Maybe more jewelry? A clutch?

Colin Firth and Livia! Neither of them are in The Debt, so I guess they just came out for a date night or something. Livia looks gorge.

And finally, one of my newest boyfriends, Marton Csokas. I’ve actually had a thing for him ever since he’s small but ass-kicking part in The Bourne Supremacy and then I also thought he was the best part (joint with Jonny Lee Miller) of Aeon Flux. So… I’ve been hot for him for a while, and it’s good to see him do some more mainstream films. Budget Clive Owen = Biscuit tingles.

    I saw it and I didnt really like any of it, at all. Thank god I saw it by myself instead of dragin my man along. He would have been pissed.

  2. Diane says:

    Love both Helen and Livia. Classy bitches!

  3. Sue says:

    I think Helen looks very pretty – classy!

  4. Lindy says:

    The dress would be totally perfect if it didn’t fall at that awkward, tea-length spot on her calves. Almost no one looks good with that hemline!

  5. Quest says:

    Helen is knock-out classy-gorgeous perfection. Absolutely adore her.

  6. Mourning the Death of Music says:

    Beautiful, as always. But I’m having a love/hate relationship with her shoes. The sparkle on the sole, the mirrored heel – just too cute, I absolutely adore them, just not with this particular outfit. She probably would have done better to wear black heels to match her clutch.

  7. foozy says:

    love marton, love mirren. both great talent etc..

  8. gee says:

    She’s so pretty! I saw her in person once, she was so little in person. She was no muss no fuss too, totally flew under the radar.

  9. Eve says:

    Colin Firth is looking good here. His wife seems to have had an allergic reaction to shaving/waxing.

  10. Lupe says:

    Agree with Diane. Helen looks great! She’s always stylishly age-appropriate. And Livia’s whole look is great too.

  11. ladybert62 says:

    Helen’s dress is perfect – but Helen go back to the short haircut as it looked better on you – I never realized before but she seems to lack ankles!

    The black dress is nice.

    The dress in the middle is horrible.

  12. Az says:

    @ ladybert62: Oh, thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who had noticed that. But I don’t know whether she actually has cankles or if it’s because she always seems to choose the most unflattering shoes!

    That Chastain girl is working the hell out of the patented Lea Michele trying too hard sexyface pose.

  13. NancyMan says:

    Just got back from London last night. I saw Helen Mirren walking in St James with a gray haired man. It was all I could do not to stare. Her star quality is amazing.

    I prefer Colin Firth when he’s a little more polished up by Tom Ford. He looks a little frumpy here.

    I saw George Stefanopolous and his wife Alexandra Wentworth walking on the left bank in Paris. Wow, he’s a shrimp of a fella.

  14. Danziger says:

    yeah, uh Kaiser, sweetheart? He’s been my boyfriend since freakin’ Fellowship of the Ring. Back off! : D

  15. Cerulean says:

    Love me some Helen. She’s what I want to be at her age. I like her look. She knows how to still have sex appeal without the mutton dressed as lamb syndrome.

  16. Delta Juliet says:

    Helen is gorgeous. And Colin…. *sigh* I love that man a little more everytime I see him. Just saw The King’s Speech last week and he was incredible in it (hubby fell asleep lol)

  17. RovingLass says:

    Wow! She looks great. So does Marton. Agree with Danziger, he was great in LOTR.

  18. Alaska says:

    I seriously want to be Helen when I grow up. She always looks so great, and not in a vulgar way!

    3rding the Marton Csokas love… I think there needs to be a Lord of the Rings-themed Hot Guy Friday. Orlando, Viggo, Karl Urban, Sean Bean, Hugo Weaving, Craig Parker… the list goes on and on!

  19. JaneWonderfalls says:

    Classy women, Plus I loved he in The Debt!

  20. Cheyenne says:

    Dame Helen usually has great fashion sense but she missed the bus this time. The top half of the outfit doesn’t do anything for her and the bottom half makes her look like she’s 75.

  21. Nanea says:

    What is it with all 3 women cutting their legs off like that with those shoes?

    Jessica’s look the worst, but Dame Helen’s sparklers are a close second.

    I don’t actually mind JC’s VW dress, another color could have made a difference though.

    Livia has a special place in my heart because she’s with Colin.

  22. Christine says:

    No Sam WOrthington pictures? Harrumph.
    Helen is gorgeous, although I the bottom half of the suit is not at the most flattering length. I like her shoes. I like the Chastain as well – not my taste for the dress but she rocks it.

  23. RobN says:

    Csokas isn’t a budget Clive Owen. Clive Owen is already the budget Clive Owen.

  24. 4Real says:

    I love that dress on Helen…she nailed it again.

  25. Denise says:

    Hawt! Livia reminds me of Penelope Cruise.

  26. Lisa says:

    Yes, Jessica = bland. And she needs a necklace with that dress!

  27. Judy says:

    Love Helen, but that dress (suit) looks hideous on her and like something from the 80’s. Just ICK.

  28. Oh Brother says:

    Who cares what her body looks like? She’s old, unattractive and she has cankles. ZZZZZ.

  29. RocketMerry says:

    @ eve, I thought that too but at a closer look those seem to be moles. Not uncommon for an olive complexion to have that many, but they’re very visible here (possibly from recent sun bathing).

  30. Eve says:

    @ RocketMerry:

    Yes, it could be that too. I just thought the spots on her legs were kinda redish (the ones on her left arm seem to be brown, like moles usually are).

    I can’t decide, the pictures are so small…

    P.S.: Amazing how we over-analyze the pictures of celebrities, isn’t it? 🙂

  31. RocketMerry says:

    @Eve, you’re right, they’re red. That’s why I noticed them and went in for the close up.
    Yeah, dirty job staring closely at gorgeous people’s pics but somebody’s gotta do it… =)

  32. She looks fab,always does.

  33. Turtle Dove says:

    You know who doesn’t have body size issues and then gets the “I lurv her,” “She’s so sexy” comments? Yeah… Dame Helen. Helen is not a size 4, has never claimed to a 4, and is as sexy as they come.

    This is how not to be a size 4, 60 and over, and HOT.

  34. Stubbylove says:

    She looks fabulous – great shoe choice as well! I want to be Helen Mirren when I grow up.

  35. Playlist says:

    Love, love, love Helen Mirren. She’s such a great role model for any age. Feisty, classy, and stylish. She knows how to balance it all.

  36. JT says:

    Marton Csokas le sigh. I’ve suffered through Aeon Flux too many times just to oogle this guy.

    Check out the extened version of the Fellowship of the Ring he gets more screen time. He’s soooooo sexy in it.

  37. great points altogether, you just won a brand new reader. What could you suggest about your put up that you simply made a few days ago? Any positive?
