We take a break now from the high glam of the Venice Film Festival and turn toward the equally as glam red carpet premiere of The Deliverance, where cast members Mo’nique, Andra Day, Glenn Close and Demi Singleton served looks and posed like their lives depended on it.
Glenn needed some help staying upright.
Mo’Nique
This is lovely. The fit is great and the silver-blue of the embellishments coordinate nicely with her hair. The embellishments are a bit heavy and we don’t love the droopy straps, but this is pretty great look for her.
Andra Day in Roberto Cavalli
We genuinely can’t even tell what we’re looking at. While the print is a potentially interesting way to utilize a sheer, there’s entirely too much of it. That wrap/sleeve/train situation is incomprehensible and so distracting that her whole visual just comes off like a cacophony. Some serious editing was required for this one.
Glenn Close in Oscar de la Renta
She definitely appears to be enjoying wearing this, but it’s forcing her into these stiff poses that make her look strange. It’s kind of a shame that Catherine O’Hara stepped out in a better version of this design on the same night, but even without the comparison, we just don’t think this works for Glenn. She clearly can’t move comfortably in it and the various shots of her leaning on her co-stars give the impression that it’s literally weighing her down. We’re all for taking risks, but this one wasn’t worth it.
Demi Singleton in Miu Miu
We’ve come around on belly cutouts for the most part, but we’re still keeping this line in the sand: if you’re in a gown that exposes your belly button, you’re in a tacky gown. It’s a shame, because it looks pretty great on her otherwise.
ABOUT THE MOVIE:
SYNOPSIS: Ebony Jackson, a struggling single mother fighting her personal demons, moves her family into a new home for a fresh start. But when strange occurrences inside the home raise the suspicions of Child Protective Services and threaten to tear the family apart, Ebony soon finds herself locked in a battle for her life and the souls of her children. Inspired by a true story, THE DELIVERANCE is directed by Academy Award nominee Lee Daniels and stars Andra Day, Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and Mo’Nique in a genre-defying take on darkness, possession, and finding a higher power.
