We’re getting to that part of the summer where I tend to believe all of the really dumb movies are about to come out. In years past, that might have been the case, although I think it was smart to schedule both Atomic Blonde and Dunkirk’s releases this month. But what about Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets? The movie has always looked like a gigantic mess, and I’m assuming that the studio really hopes that it just looks weird enough for people to shrug and say “alright, why not?” The premiere gave that vibe too – like a stunt gone bad.
Rihanna has a supporting role in the film, and she valiantly tried to steal the show. It worked. Rihanna wore this bubble-gum pink Giambattista Valli mullet dress with a crazy-long train, and she paired it with lace-up Manolo Blahniks. The effect is very “futuristic ballerina.” I loathe this dress though.
I have to give it to Cara Delevingne, she looked completely appropriate for the event. Instead of going with some muted and matronly Chanel look, she chose this Iris Van Herpen gown which looks futuristic and amazing. The styling around the look – the hair, makeup – doesn’t completely fit the dress, but whatever. Bonus pic of Cara posing with her co-lead Dane DeHaan, who looks sickly.
Cara’s friend Kendall Jenner came out to support her, which is nice, I guess. Kendall sported an increasingly “different”-looking face and a Carmen March dress.

Wow Kendall really tweaked her face. While I think she’s a basic model naturally she always looked good. Yikes.
Loved cara’s look. Would like Rih’s better if it lost the sleeves (or had more form fitting ones) or something. It’s too much volume everywhere.
Also I’m hearing Dunkirk is getting good buzz which is good for Nolan. This always looked bad because Cara cannot act. At all.
Exactly.
Cara might be a good model and might be able to pull of certain styles.
But she can’t act. And in Valerian she didn’t even try to make those kicks convincing.
Yup. Cara looks great in these pictures. She looks ridiculously bad in the trailers I’ve seen.
It’s almost like… and bear with me here… she’s a great model and a terrible actress. Who would have thought.
Now don’t get me wrong, I understand that modelling isn’t exactly a career you can stick with for life. But “only being cast in films because you’re still young an attractive and have good name recognition though you can’t act” isn’t setting you up for the long haul, either.
Kendall tweaked her face too much! She doesn’t look like herself. Frankly it’s disappointing.
But then I always thought younger pre-op Kim looked way better too.
Kendall used to be so beautiful!! Now I can’t see if that’s Khloe or Kylie.
I almost get why Kim did her first few major face tweaks (though not her most recent dozen or so new faces), but what the hell, Kendall. Her face was a bit dull but fine. Now it just looks more and more plastic, but in no way better or more interesting.
can’t believe u guys like Cara’s dress. It makes your body look odd, her boobs are low and her stomach looks wide. Where is your esthetic feeling lol
Rianna s cute
Did she get work done? Or is her face just maturing with added lip injections? Bless my heart. Never mind.
I love Kendal’s dress but if she bends over you can see what she had for lunch.
Riri’s face is to die for and the dress is not horribly bad
Rihannas Face is beautiful, her styling is tragic.
Both others should do way less visits to their Doctors.
Also REALLY tragic styling.
I love what Cara and Kendall are wearing. And Kendall makeup is perfect. Don’t like Cara hair..or wig.. it just looks so plastic. Not liking Rihanna’s dress. It just looks out of place to me.
That hairstyle enhances Cara’s masculine features: chin and mouth area.
I saw the trailer and nearly did *rofl* because Cara Delevigne as a tough hard-hitting agent is just not convincing. Just not. Nope. Even her kicks and hits were slow-motion no-impact angling limbs waiving through mid-air.
Charlize Theron isn’t a body builder type either but in Atomic Blonde she delivered a convincing performance as a hard-hitting agent.
Seems like Cara Delevigne is finally exposed as style over substance. She has a rich family and is ridiculously well-connected by her family background alone. She was okay in Suicide Squad as her performance wasn’t great but it didn’t mess up the movie. But seeing the trailer of Valerian: nope. I am not even going to watch that. And partly Cara is to blame. Partly that movie simply looks boring: like some geeks of graphic design were allowed to rule it all.
You really don’t like her do you. I thought she was terribly miscast in Suicide Squad but I’m not seeing your issue with this trailer. I’m generally not a fan of stick thin women playing action star bad asses but let’s face it, Hollywood is going to keep casting them especially now after Wonder Woman’s stick thin casting earned them a billion dollars. So judging Cara by that basis, her physicality in the trailer looks good. I’ll wait for the full movie before I say anything else.
Meh, I disagree on the Wonder Woman thing. Gal added a good amount of muscle, but also, she fricking knows how to fight. Cara looks like an eight year old in karate class.
I just saw this dress on Ri’s Instagram, and I LOVE it. You can tell she does too.
Cara looks like a slinky, but it’s cool. Girl cannot act though.
Kendall is less interesting than the period cramps I’m having right now
Obsessed with Rihanna’s whole look here but especially the dress!💕💕
Dane Dehaan is 31 years old?!? Whoa. He looks 17….and awful in these pictures.
The reviews on this are decidedly mixed but even worse is the timing. Dunkirk is being called a masterpiece, Atomic Blond has bigger names (and better actors) in the cast. It should make some money overseas but will that be enough? 😬
R flops this one. The hair and makeup aren’t right and the combination of the dress with the shoes makes her look wider than she is.
Rihanna hasn’t been looking good lately. She believed the hype and instead of fashion is giving us crazy ugly clothes.
I am going to say too that she is too mature for this look. This dress would be great on a teen starlet; for someone of her age and stature in the industry it is ridiculous.
Rhianna doesn’t look good in this. Her dress looks Ike puffy cotton candy and the straps on her shoes look like they could block blood to her feet.
I like Cara’s dress but not the hair. Ri’s dress is hilarious. It looks like she may think it too. I don’t think she wore this for any other reason but for the hell of it. I don’t believe she was trying to have an important fashion moment in the least. The movie looks bad. I wonder if she knows this.
I actually think RiRi’s dress is cute, but not with those shoes! The laces go too high and it makes her legs look stumpy. If the skirt were shorter it might look alright, or if the laces were just ankle-high.
Starring The Gladiator as Sugar Plum Fairy . . . oh wait! Both outfits ugly as sin. Justly plain ugly.
Oof. I mean Rihanna can pull of almost anything but this is not the best thing she’s ever worn. Maybe without the shoes. I’m just not a fan of that style of shoe. Cara looks fantastic though. Kendall’s face is looking decidedly Kardashian, as in she’s having sh*t done to it. I don’t understand why, it’s not an improvement.
yes! so proud of myself for recognizing the designer of Caras dress! i just recently found that designer on instagram and her latest show was crazy cool!

Iris is amazing, isn’t she?
Kendall looks like Kylie.
Dane DeHaan looks like Paul Merton.
Was this movie made just for the red carpet pictures? Because it looks absolutely f*ck awful.
But I love Cara’s dress. Rihanna looks like a large 4 year old playing dress up and Kendall has great legs, but is otherwise putting me to sleep.
Valerian reminds me of Jupiter Ascending, which was a mess. But JA at least had Mila Kunis and the bees thing.
I’m excited to watch Dunkirk, some reviews have said it’s better than The Prestige. And god, that movie was incredible.
No on the dress, yes on the face for Rihanna. Cara’s dress is kinda cool for the event.
Cara’s dress is cool, but reminds me of an artfully uncoiled Slinky.
I think he’s trying to recreate the magic that was the fifth element, complete with the alien singer. But Milla was actually charming in that role and had good chemistry with bruce willis, another good actor. I just hate Cara’s acting. She sticks out like a sore thumb.
This is what I love about Rihanna. Everyone is dressing all futuristic, and silver/black. This woman comes in a pink princess dress. One thing to learn: Rihanna never follows trends. I love pink on her though it’s so gorgeous. She looks like a big Barbie doll
This is not my favorite look on Rih – I prefer her edgier looks to these princess types. With the exception of her hot pink poofy Grammy’s dress form last year (the year before?) that was perfection.
I really think Kendull & Cara are dating.
I think they’re dating too…if so, I hope they’re happy and having a good time.
And Rihanna cannot do wrong by me, god what a beautiful woman!! I don’t love the shoes but the dress is fun, she’s playing a character named Bubble, I’m sure that’s why she chose that pink dress…
Let’s not beat around the bush. I shall address the elephant in the room. This dress does not mix with those legs! Riri’s legs are beautiful but the dress makes them look mahoosive. Tight or flowing, just not this.
Iris Van Herpen is a GENIUS and i recognized her work immediately. this creation is stunning and Cara absolutely SLAYS this look.
Cara looks divine. And the styling is perfect, futurism a la Metropolis.
Poor Rihanna, she’s not happy being photografed next to Cara here – you can tell.
Rihanna can pull off any dress. Yes, it’s an ugly dress, but she looks amazing in it, as usual.
I am shocked at how spectacular Cara Delevingne looks though. To me, the hair, makeup, and dress all work together perfectly.
Love the sleeves on Rihanna’s dress. Cara is sizzling hot.
I usually like what Rihanna is wearing cause even if I think it’s fugly she has the attitude/air(?!) to pull it of but she gets a big nope for this one unfourtunately. I’t the waist down part that kinda bothers me the most on this dress.
And Kendall, I kinda thought it was Kylie at first cause her face has changed, it seemed slimmer before but now it seems… I don’t know, more mature? Like it’s filled out? I don’t know, I keep looking but can’t figure out what’s bothering me
Cara has some busted feet.
