Movie Reviews and Previews Maleficent Disappointment Maleficent: Mistress of Evil opened over the weekend, taking the top box office spot, but still coming in under expectations. It’s the first Disney disappointment since Dumbo earlier this year, though it will not likely lose money like Dumbo did. We’re just so used to seeing Disney trample By Sarah • Oct 23, 2019 03:57 pm
Gorgessity Angelina tops herself WOW. On Monday, I already posted that Angelina Jolie wore the Outfit of the Week at the beginning of the week…and not she’s topped herself.

Movie Reviews and Previews Maleficent is a baddie again…or is she? While writing up that solid Mulan teaser, I cut a whole tangent about Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and its place in the live-action remake canon. But now we have a brand new Maleficent trailer to judge and it is exactly what my tangent-rant was about, so now let’s talk By Sarah • Jul 08, 2019 12:20 pm
Style Outfit of the Week: Elle Fanning at Cannes again This is not a rerun. Elle Fanning wore the Outfit of the Week last week and since she’s in Cannes as a juror, as Sarah predicted, she’s been serving look after look and, most importantly, her looks have not all been same same, glitter, glamour, feathers, train. There’ By Lainey • May 24, 2019 03:21 pm
Style Outfit of the Week: Elle Fanning As Sarah predicted in her Cannes preview earlier this week, one of the highlights of the festival would be Elle Fanning’s fashion. She was right – but not for her opening night dress which, you’d THINK, would have been the statement but I was kind of underwhelmed: This is, By Lainey • May 17, 2019 03:57 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Cannes Preview 2019: Elle Fanning Fashion Parade Elle Fanning is on the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off tomorrow, so all you really need to know is that this is a red alert, ELLE FANNING FASHION PARADE moment.

Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina’s perfect witch cackle Angelina Jolie has recently rebranded herself as the First Lady of Disney, a path lit up by the live-action remake of Maleficent that came out a few years ago. It’s an okay movie, it has some interesting revisionist ideas—something lacking in the other live-action remakes (except for Pete’ By Sarah • May 14, 2019 10:25 am
Met Gala 2019 Elle Fanning: Met Gala Best (Duana) It was an embarrassment of riches last night. This theme brought out one of the best overall showings in years. But while some of the people we loved are the ones we expected to (looking at you, Celine) part of the reason this look gets my best dressed is that By Duana • May 07, 2019 12:12 pm
LifestyleArticle Carpets & Candids: Elle’s yellow and stripes What is your favourite fashion season? Duana and I talked about this recently. She’s all about summer. I’m super into fall. I like the versatility of fall. I like layering. I like that a short summer dress gets a new life with tights and combat boots. I like By Lainey • Sep 14, 2018 11:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Post-Apocalyptic Dinklage I dug the teaser for I Think We’re Alone Now, Reed Morano’s film starring Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning. We now have a full trailer, and I still dig it. In fact, the trailer plays so well as its own thing it almost works as a short film. By Sarah • Aug 30, 2018 11:30 am

Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina gets the likes Angelina Jolie is not on social media. But, no doubt, she must have some understanding about how it works, or at least what its influence is, especially since she has teenagers at home. Angelina has now started work on Maleficent 2 in England with Elle Fanning. And here’s what By Lainey • May 29, 2018 04:06 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Your future indie favorite How to Talk to Girls at Parties played Cannes last year, the second of the Elle Fanning/Nicole Kidman movies (along with The Beguiled), and it still hasn’t got a North American release date, though indie distributor A24 has picked it up, so it’s coming. This is one By Sarah • Apr 03, 2018 11:23 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Beguiled Is What It Is And what it is, is a dreamily rendered impressionist drawing room drama, a psycho-sexual thriller buttoned up in a prim and proper façade. Sofia Coppola’s latest meditation on privileged femininity is an adaptation of Thomas Cullinan’s novel of the same title, and it’s a beautiful idea of By Sarah • Jul 05, 2017 11:16 am
