PLEASE keep wearing whatever the hell you want to wear out of the house. The crazier the better! Take Helena Bonham Carter, for example. We’d be bereft if she didn’t show up to events looking thusly.

My username is an homage to Lucy Honeychurch \o/ I always did want Lucy to end up with Daniel day Lewis’ Cecil Vyse though. It was the tweed-wearing, I swear. Well, the tweed and the Dante-reading.
Long may HBC reign.
Except that with it being E.M. Forster, you know that Cecil Vyse wanted to end up with George.
@Katharine, WORD. I wouldn’t really have minded watching that either.
True. But I was too young to realise
I found Room with a View so weird…why were Bellatrix and McGongall hanging out? Not ok.
I love everything about the BAFTA dress though. Seriously, wouldn’t change a thing. She looks great and she knows it. Never change HBC
That sounds like when I saw Sweeny Todd slightly tipsy, just before the next Harry Potter. Was very surreal!
I love Helena’s style. Fun and different and costumy.
Why, she looks perfectly sedate and almost underdressed. Her shoes actually match!
Dress is awesome, hair is WTF.
I also think it looks like she made those fingerless out of a pair of tights. I hope she did. That would make the whole thing that much more awesome!
EXACTLY what I was thinking, B! I’m sure she did!!
The only thing I wish she would change is what she does to her hair. It is GORGEOUS, and she always looks like she cuts it herself with a weed whacker.
Funny story about A Room With A View: I took creative writing as a senior in high school, and sometimes our young, inexperienced, kooky teacher would show us movies as “inspiration.” He picked ARWAV for one of them, but completely forgot about the bathing scene. I had never seen anyone dive for a VCR like that before. (We all promised not to tell our parents so he wouldn’t get in trouble.)
Just what I was going to say. When you’ve been blessed with hair like that, it’s a shame to let it turn into a rat’s nest. Plus it hides her lovely face.
The set-up she and Tim have got with the adjoining houses is my dream arrangement. I can’t even afford one house, let alone two, but in a perfect world…
I feel like the Fug Girls wouldn’t mind if Taylor M listened to them and cleaned up her act.
Admit it. I don’t think you’d mind if LiLo cleaned up, went back to her red hair, and started acting more like a responsible member of society.
And, yes, HBC should keep doing the HBC-thing and SWINTON should keep on being SWINTON. Those ladies should never change.
Exactly! They should never change.
I agree!! I love them because they are who the are and don’t care what we think.
She dresses exactly like my youngest sister did when she was going trough her Goth pace. I am not even kidding. Pretty sure I’ve seen those very same fingerless cloves on sis some six or seven years ago. Although, to be fair, Bonham-Carter probably pays for hers more than my sister and I spend on rent combined each month.
she is soo much more credible and coherent with those gloves than all the Madonnas & Cos are
The second picture got a big sigh from me–I love Julian Sands. And HBC is awesome. Always.
The last photo is so awesome. I’m a sucker for a Nancy Reagan Gaze.
I also still love Julian Sands and was SO glad to see him in the Dragon Tattoo flashbacks. Hubba hubba.
Funny, because I just watched Room with a View again the other day and I was surprised at how young Maggie Smith looked. Sure, she’s severe, but she has to be. She’s Charlotte Bartlett! But actually, look past the tight bun and matronly frocks and she looks like Judy Greer. Or, Judy Greer looks like a younger Maggie Smith, I should say, from A Room with a View.
Seriously, does this woman ever age? Will she ever age? That face looks genuinely fresh (as opposed to ‘freshened’). Love her to bits, even in goth tulle.
Answer: Lindsay Lohan.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, knock your shit off, Linds. For real. We miss the sweet, normal, non-drugged up, red-head you. Come back!
Me too Sherri!!
I just dvr’d it the other day and was watching it this morning, thinking how young Maggie looked. I forgot how passive aggressive Cousin Charlotte (Maggie) is. What a pill!
HBC can do no wrong. I do wish, just to screw with people, she’d show up at the Oscars in something that everyone else wears, a Marchessa or Dior gown, you know, just to say “Thought I couldn’t wear couture, bitches?”
I have to say that I wouldn’t mind if HBC and Tim Burton cleaned themselves up in the sense of looking as though they had washed their hair recently. Other than that, they seem to be perfect together.
I wish HBC would stop hemming her own skirts…using pinking shears.
How can this woman smoke like a chimney and have such dewy perfection for skin? It is just not fair.
I am hoping they’ll let her pick out her own costume when she plays Madame Thenardier in the upcoming Les Miz movie musical. Because it would be super awesome crazy.
ARWAV truly is the gift that keeps on giving: HBC, Julian, DDL, Maggie, Judi Dench, Simon Callow, Denholm Elliot–did anyone in that movie NOT go on to greatness? Even Rupert Graves is still doing solid work in Sherlock!
She s brilliant, and magically ageless. I love her style and I never, ever, want her to change, except if she changes into those orthopaedic shoes she wore that one time, they were fun!

LOOOOVE Room with a View! That kiss scene with the opera music and the scenery *swoon* and Daniel Day Lewis was hilarious, and Maggie Smith was fantastic, and all the rest of the actors were amazingly cast. HBC’s costumes in that could use some unfugging tho, no?
I love it… This is normal for her & AWESOME! Plus, I covet her jewelry! FAB, Helena! Never change!
It is very hard to dress and pose like a young Cyndi Lauper and NOT ending up looking like a CL copycat. I love her attitude and I so covet her skin. I enviously like to think that in spite of her ‘ i-couldnt-care-less-how- i-look’ public image, she secretly devotes long hours to dieting, working out and damping herself in creams as any mere mortal must do to keep as amazingly young as she looks.
God, she is so beautiful!
She looks like a Tracey Ullmann parody of a rebellious teen.
If she’s happy, then I’m happy for her, but the whole thing always seems so painfully false to me, along with many of her performances in recent years. It’s the same with Johnny Depp. I remember when they actually used to try to act.
i agree, don’t ever change, HBC! And word on the Room With A View love – I can’t imagine how many times I watched that bathing scene. Rupert Graves was such a cutie! And he’s still pretty hot now.
I would love to have her hair for just one day. Oh, the things I could do with it
Also, I think she is my fave Fug. I want to be HBC when I grow up.
I think we can all get behind a new and improved Lindsey Lohan, and Jessica Simpson. There’s bad-hilarious (ahem, Amber Rose) and then there’s bad-sad, and no one wins with bad-sad. Plus, if Simpson and Christina Hendricks could find flattering clothes that fit, there’d be hope for us all!
