I always feel sorry for actors who still have to go on promotional tours to support a film that’s already tanking at the box office. So it is with the ladies of Charlie’s Angels, the 2019 reboot which just bombed its opening weekend. Blame it on the bad reviews, blame it on the lack of name recognition for two-thirds of the Angels, blame it on reboot fatigue, I don’t know. Elizabeth Banks previously blamed it on the idea that men don’t want to see women in an action-comedy unless the movie has a built-in comic-book audience. She also recently slapped back at the “reboot fatigue” idea, saying that “You’ve had 37 Spider-Man movies and you’re not complaining!… I think women are allowed to have one or two action franchises every 17 years—I feel totally fine with that.” I mean… I have Spider-Man fatigue too. How many f–king Spider-Man movies do we need? It makes me tired.
Anyway, here are some photos from last night’s London premiere. Kristen Stewart wore Thom Browne. I… love this? First of all, I love that Kristen has moved away from wearing non-stop Chanel. It didn’t suit her. The combo never fit. Two, I just like the simplicity of design, even though the label added something on the hips to make it appear that Kristen is curvier. It just fits her well and it’s interesting. I still hate that hair though!
Naomi Scott in Richard Quinn – this is a full-on VINYL catsuit with a dress over it. I would have liked it better if she had chosen one or the other – wear a full-on vinyl catsuit and look like Emma Peel from the Avengers, OR wear a sparkly little cocktail dress. Putting the two together is… confusing.
I’m becoming a Ella Balinska stan just because I love the way she wears clothes and I love the way she photographs. I called her a swan before, but look at her! She’s totally a swan. Those long limbs, legs for days and that long neck. She’s gorgeous. Her gown is Prada.
Elizabeth Banks wore Versace. I would have loved this more for a summer or spring premiere? She looks like she’s freezing her ass off.

It is a fantastic dress and suits her style perfectly. She recently wore a similar one, also in tartan, and I loved that one as well. The other Angels and EB look great too!! EB could have definitely used a jacket, though.
I’m not watching it because Stewart is a major snooze on screen. I’ve wasted enough hours of my life watching movies she was in.
If it werent for that… I like the Charlies Angels theme- something really good could be made with it.
Me too Ye. Kristen Stewart just does NOT do anything for me in wanting to see her in anything! Not even the preview trailer looked remotely funny. Otherwise, I love the idea of Charlie’s Angels and Elizabeth Banks as a female Bosley. Let’s face it none of these actresses are remotely as likable as Cameron Diaz (at the height of her coolness) or Drew Barrymore.
Ella is a beautiful caramel version of her mother Lorriane Pascale.

Indeed she is. Her mom is gorgeous (as is she), and I’ve never heard of her. Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t know Lorraine is her mother! I thought there was something familiar about Ella, that’s so cool. I’m a fan of Lorraine on Holiday Baking Championship. Thank you, Mignionette!
I love her on Food Network too. She doesn’t look old enough to have a daughter this age.
I think Stewart’s hair is awful and has been for some time. The rest of the women look great, except I think Bank’s see-through black dress is a summer dress.
The movie is tanking because it is just bad. The other two remakes were fun, this one is too pc and none of the actresses playing the angels are exciting to watch. It was just dull. Banks has to stop blaming men for her bad movie failing.
It is just funny when girls weighing
100 pounds soaking wet take down huge male bodyguards. Really?
Never thought I’d say that but I love Kristen’s dress! The make-up is awful though.
It looks like a bad movie. Even if Kristen found her screen presence like reviews say, the other 2 ladies aren’t great actresses and don’t have much. The TV series and Drew B movies worked because the ladies all played off each other so well, and each could hold their own.
Side note: team filming must have been a pain for Elizabeth with Ella being so much taller than the rest. Just complicates every shot. Not a reason for a bomb but good for her she didn’t shy from extra challenge.
They all look miserable.
Ella has legs longer than my whole body and i am do jealous! I love Ella’s dress, the simplicity of it and then the wow factor of the slit was perfect. I really like Kristens dress and how she styled it with a little rock and roll flaire.
I saw the movie this week and loved it. I was amazed at how non-bored I was, I enjoyed myself immensely.
I sort of get what Elizabeth Banks is saying that women should be able to redo an action movie every 17 years….BUT, the original was iconic and then the reboot was so beloved and became such a phenomenon. There were 2 of them and the second really fizzled, right? Spiderman/Avengers etc are universes with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of fans. Charlie’s Angels is not a universe like that.
Why not redo another female oriented action movies that weren’t done really well the first time? Like Josie and the Pussycats or She-Ra or Jem or something?
We really don’t have the same tastes but that s ok to each it s own I found this dress to be ugly it s the patterns … just no … it s just meh … …
Hmm. Well.
I HATE Kristen’s dress; I mean, it’s doing what it’s supposed to and she’s wearing it well, I just think it’s unremittingly ugly.
And I love the latex catsuit and sparkly mini-dress combo. How fun! (Probably wasn’t fun to go pee in, though.)
I went to see the movie. I enjoyed it a lot. It’s cute and funny with wicked fashion. No it’s not Marvel. But jeez people, just have fun at the movies. If it does get a sequel I’ll go to that also. Probably won’t though if it hasn’t made much money.
