Silver Screen Style: Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Light Up The Screen in ‘Rum Diary’


I don’t normally focus on men’s style, but when we’re talking about Johnny Depp, jaws must drop.  With his recent role in The Rum Diary, based on the novel by the late Hunter S. Thompson, I’m loving the styling of costumes & just how gorgeous everyone looks, including the film’s leading lady, Amber Heard.  Take a look at the images below, along with the film’s trailer to get a glimpse at live action gonzo journalism. Set against the backdrop of late 1950s Puerto Rico, Johnny & Amber are joined by Aaron Eckhart & Giovanni Ribisi in the autobiographical look at Thompson’s journey finding his voice as a writer.

Also, I included a very entertaining video clip of Johnny Depp on Late Show with David Letterman, where the three-time Academy Award nominee very affectionately talks about his personal relationship with Thompson & their musings over the unpublished version of The Rum Diary, which is in theaters now.  Of course, this isn’t an entirely style-related post, but I was excited about it, so it was worth sharing.  Happy Styling!

11/1/11 Darling of the Day: America Ferrera is Red Hot in Nicole Miller!


As soon as I saw the former Ugly Betty star, America Ferrera, in this red hot Nicole Miller dress, I knew I just had to post it.  I don’t think she’s ever looked better & she’s miles away from where she was when she first made her red carpet debut during press tours for Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Here, America is definitely stealing the show, attending a West End production of Chicago in London.

While I couldn’t find a red dress with the same neckline, anything figure flattering & curve hugging that helps frame the face will do to recreate the smouldering look.  This Ellen Tracy dress ($83.53) from 6PM is also available in black & turquoise, in sizes 2-16. The textured surplus dress ($22.80) from Forever 21 is super hot for my fuller-figured Style Darlings, available in XL – 3X.

As for the shoes, America’s wearing red velvet peep toes that make her look all the more luxurious.  I found velvet lace-up ballerina pumps ($38.00) from Charlotte Russe, which are both youthful & flirty for any night out.

Even though the glowing actress doesn’t seem to be wearing much jewelry, since her figure is her best asset, I added these delicate glittered bead earrings ($6.80) just for a polished touch of class & contrast.
