Style Was The Main Theme At The Mother And Child Premiere
The Mother and Child Premiere on April 19 in Hollywood had stars coming out in droves to support the film. The talk on the red carpet turned to fashion, as is common in this day and age. Between the designer attire and one dress that appeared to have been worn backwards, there was no lack of conversation.
One of the stars of the film, Kerry Washington, looked beautiful as she made her way down the red carpet in a print dress by J. Mendel. The ensemble was perfectly accented with a golden clutch bag and a pair of Sergio Rossi heels. She topped off the outfit with an extra touch of bling by rocking a huge, pink ring by Amrapali.
Amanda Seyfried arrived at the premiere wearing a dress from the Bodyamr Fall 2010 line. The purple and grey silk number made quite a statement. Perhaps this was because Seyfried appears to have worn the dress backward. The Bodyamr fashion show illustrated that the zipper should be displayed on the back, not front, of the dress. Seyfried did not star in the movie so perhaps dressing to attend the premiere was an afterthought.
The film had its New York premiere on April 26 with looks that were equally as stunning. Naomi Watts, one of the films’ stars, wore a simple and sleek combination of a black top with lace details and black cropped pants by Stella McCartney. A simple pair of black heels and a black clutch handbag pulled the classy ensemble together.
Kerry Washington looked as beautiful at the film’s New York premiere as she did in Hollywood, wearing a mini-dress from Zac Posen’s Fall 2010 collection. The lilac and black dress was slightly altered from when it appeared on Posen’s runway, now sleeveless compared to the sheer black sleeves it originally had. Washington polished her look off with a simple black clutch and black peep-toe heels.
The film’s two older stars looked distinguished and well put together as they made their way down the red carpet with their spouses. Annette Bening looked lovely in a black pantsuit at the L.A. premiere as she entered holding hands with her husband, actor Warren Beatty. Her co-star, Samuel L. Jackson was accompanied by his beautiful wife, Latanya Richardson.
All came out to view this film that emphasizes the importance of family by providing viewers with a glimpse into the lives of three women. A mother and daughter pair highlight the painful repercussions that adoption can have on a family. At the time, the mother was barely 14; she became pregnant and decided to give up her baby for adoption. She remains haunted by this difficult decision, though viewers can see that the now-grown daughter has done well for herself by becoming a lawyer. The third subject of the movie has just come to terms with the fact that she and her husband are unable to conceive a baby. This couple has decided to pursue adoption as an alternative.
The anticipation surrounding this film inspired some amazing looks on the red carpet for both the New York and Los Angeles screenings. If the Mother and Child Premiere is any indication, this movie will be filled with stunningly beautiful women. Mother And Child will be playing in theatres everywhere on May 7, 2010.
