Fugga Green

I’ll say this for Eva Green — you have to admire her flair for the dramatic. Given that she’s not prodigiously well-known in the U.S., I can see why she pulled out all the stops to get noticed at the Casino Royale premiere.

First, she arrived on the red carpet in this little doozy:

I’m not sure what the fascination was with psuedo-strangulation at this event, but between her and Daniel Craig’s fiancee, I’m beginning to wonder if The National Society For The Promotion of Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation sponsored some of the fashion.

Apparently they dropped out of the after-party, though, so Eva ditched the noose-chic outfit and replaced it with …

… her very best wizarding robes. Which she’s thoughtfully paired with some hair and makeup that are faintly evocative of a consumptive revolution-era French prostitute. Now, I’m not entirely clear what Dark Arts she’s invoking here, but I am pretty sure they haven’t case Narcissa Malfoy yet for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, so maybe she’s just trying to make a compelling case for herself.
