Diamonds and Chanel and Dior haute couture save Nicole Kidman in her movie Grace of Monaco.
If you want to be a fashion stylist and want to see how real glamour looks like, better watch the movie Grace of Monaco, which is showing now in Manila theaters. It's fashion and diamond pornography at its best. It's like watching the movie version of Sex and the City, only this time, you are in the south of France, in the principality of Monaco.
I rarely watch movies here in Manila when they're screened on the first day, but I was a bit worried that Grace of Monaco would disappear the next day, I had to call Mama and we both watched Nicole Kidman essay the role of the elegant Princess Grace.
Well, although the historical events and all those famous figures hovering around the movie would've made for compelling and interesting cinema, this movie's one big yawn. What kept me awake were those exquisite diamonds Nicole was wearing - and those fabulous clothes the costume designers asked her to wear!
Grace Kelly was a major icon of her era - so to see her and her royal court lavishly and slavishly recreated in the big screen was such a treat for me! Wouldn't be surprised if this movie snagged a nomination for Best Costume Design in next year's Oscars.
