Black Swan

One of the most anticipated movies of the season was definitely The Black Swan starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel and Mila Kunis. This dark and twisted look into the ballet world has won rave reviews for the amazing performance of Natalie Portman as Nina as well as Mila Kunis in the supporting role of Lilly, the dancer trying to steal Nina’s dream role of the Swan Queen in Swan Lake. Not only is the the film incredible, but the fashion is truly to die for…the ballet costumes were designed by Rodarte and are absolutely stunning. This movie is a definite must see if you haven’t seen it yet as there is already a great deal of Oscar buzz being thrown around since it’s debut at TIFF this past fall.
The combination of the acting along with the costumes and make-up really make this dark movie incredible. One of my favourites in a long time, and definitely one that will remain iconic and memorable.
Here are some stills from the film showing the great fashions and make-up:
