Fug/Fab Face-Off: Julianne Moore vs Jennifer Connelly in Louis Vuitton

Julianne here is getting raves for Still Alice, which delights me because I used to work for one of the directors, and he and his husband — they did this movie jointly — are wonderful people and I really want them to clean up with some bigtime hardware.

I also like this so much more than some of the more elaborate bags she puts herself in — partly because she herself is aging SO RIDICULOUSLY WELL that I like seeing her in something with a youthful bent. It’s not too short on her, like Jennifer Connelly’s first look (what a difference mere inches can make), or potentially her second. I generally don’t go for patterned tights, but these seem to complement the whole thing very well. And her booties seem to have the right level of personality to play harmoniously with everything.

You can see the texture and detail of the dress itself — and the shoes — a bit better from this side angle:

I’m sold. I mean, maybe it’s the hair. Let’s not pretend I’m not a sucker for a well-executed redhead. But I think I’m going to give this one to Julianne, as the more successful average of the two Connelly outfits. Wait a minute. Math! I did use it, Mrs. Ierakidis!
