Everyone and their brother was at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere in LA last night, so we’ll be breaking up the coverage into a few different posts. There were plenty of big names there who aren’t in the movie, but surely would have loved to have been. It looks like the red carpet and after party were incredible and people are raving about the film. It’s said to do justice to the series and to highly entertaining. I can’t wait to see it and to see how much money it makes, I’m kind of excited about that. We have tickets to see it in 3D on Saturday!
Elizabeth Banks was in a really striking off the shoulder Elie Saab full length gown featuring an embroidered blue, red and black pattern which looks vaguely like poinsettias. The only thing that could make this dress better is if it was full-on holiday colors with red and green along with black. I really like how it has the illusion of being see-through mesh netting but isn’t quite. There’s something amazing about this dress, and I can only imagine the hours of craftsmanship that must have gone into it.
Harrison Ford and his wife of five years, Calista Flockhart, looked very matchy and cute in all black. I like her long sleeve tea length black gown. It has mirrored pieces along the neckline and looks very dressy and understated.
Carrie Fisher and her real life daughter, Billie Lourd, also in the movie, posed together on the red carpet and they looked like they’re having a great time. Carrie pretty much brings the party wherever she goes. She swore a lot on the red carpet and you can hear it in the livestream. Bille is in Reem Acra. Not a cute dress but her mom is distracting us from that.
Getting back to people not in the film, Sarah Hyland and her boyfriend of about a year, her co-star in Vampire Academy, Dominic Sherwood, were loved up. Get a room kids! She’s in a metallic Kaufman Franco dress which looks perfect for the holidays.
Here’s Zendaya working the hell out of a silver turtleneck minidress paired with a see through plastic skirt with mirror sequins. I love this outfit, it’s incredible. Zendaya does her own makeup too! She needs to make YouTube tutorials.
Gina Rodriguez was in Halston. This dress isn’t that great but it’s making me want a black and white cookie.
I’m putting in Geena Davis because I love her and she’s incredible. She’s with her plastic surgeon husband, Reza Jarrahy. I like her white quilted dress with the furry cap sleeves. Everyone is so festive at this premiere it’s making me want to go shopping. (It doesn’t take much.)

Z you go girl, she looks awesome!
Word. Slaying.
She always does. I love that she is comfortable switching it up
Her makeup is awful though. She looks like one of those youtube gurus.
I think the whole look is just perfect. Makeup, sweater, skirt, everything. She looks effortlessly chic, while everyone is trying so hard to be red-carpety.
Zendaya looks beautiful. She always does.
You buried the lead! Luke, Han, Leia!!
Zendaya’s look screams ‘lunching with chums’ to me. Nice, but not red carpet.
I love Elizabeth Bank’s dress!! She looks so beautiful!!
LOVE that dress, it is stunning.
Carrie Fisher is now completely unrecognizable.
Word. Is she doing that with her lips on purpose or is it frozen that way from plastic surgery?
I can’t figure this out either and it is driving me nuts.
and she’s one of the very few I thought would have the guts to say no to the surgery route..kinda sad
Yes. This seems very sad to me.
It’s a disappointment. I wouldn’t mind so much if she didn’t go SO heavy on the injections you know? Why does it have to be so extreme to the point where she looks like a bug-eyed fish?
Zendaya looks like she belongs in the movie, no joke.
Yes!!
I love what this movie did for Mark Hamill, sure he doesn’t look as good as Harrison Ford (who does?) but he looks WAY better than he did a few years ago-not just talking about weight wise, he just did not look well. So thank you to Disney and J J for helping Mark get healthy again.
^ THIS.
So true, he looked pretty awful and now he looks MUCH better.
Luke Skywalker was my childhood crush for years and years.
Zendaya’s outfit is seriously killer. I need it. Gosh darnit she is just so beautiful
She really is stunning
Love Elizabeth Banks dress, it’s lovely. Also like Sarah Hyland’s sparkly mini dress and it looks great on her and I like Zendaya’s look too.
Billie Lourd, Carrie’s daughter resembles her mother, Debbie Reynolds, and I love that. They all look like they’re having a great time on the red carpet, and that’s so fun to see.
I love Elizabeth’s on her, and Zendaya looks amazing.
I really like it too and I generally hate floral patterns of any kind.
I might be biased though because I really just enjoy Banks’s sense of whimsy when it comes to her fashion choices. I like how she’s smiling and looking fun and fancy-free here–it’s the perfect way to sell that dress, KWIM?
I’m with you. I usually hate florals but I really like this dress a lot.
Wow, they have plastic surgeons in a galaxy far, far away too. Leia looks like a trout.
OH MY GOD!! R2D2 and C3PO was there ??!! So jealous of all these people. I would literally break down if i ever got to meet those two droids.
Right?! I even scrolled back up to see if it was mentioned in the blog.
That’s awesome! Man, I haven’t seen a single Star Wars film but everything I’ve heard and seen about his movie makes me so happy.
Also I don’t know how I ended up with a crush on present day Mark Hamill but he seems amazing.
You have to see the original trilogy. It IS the greatest trilogy in film history though i personally dont thin the films are very well made.
I have to admit I’m apprehensive because of the (length, number of movies, etc.) but I’ve noticed I’ve gone from being indifferent, to amused, to really fond of everything I’m seeing.
What is it they say? That if something can make so many people feel so much then it has to be something special? That’s how this series makes me feel. Seeing the impact it’s had on others and how passionate they are about it and how it unites young and old…I really want to see the film’s now.
I’m loving Zendaya’s style and her makeup is amazing. Love her fashion choices and how she’s willing to experiment.
While Zendaya is an absolutely beautiful girl, not everyone can pull off turtlenecks. She is one of these people.
Gotta have a long neck.
