THE AFTERMATH (2019): Costume Design – Keira Knightley’s Beautiful Outfits…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Aftermath (2019)


Today’s post is a celebration of my favourite of Keira Knightley’s beautiful outfits in The Aftermath (2019). I adore the clothes and the glorious way they’re lit and framed. A big hooray for costume designer Bojana Nikitovic!

This green jacket, white blouse and silver brooch look is my absolute favourite.

Once more with an elegant hat.

I’m sure it’s not at all often that cardigans have looked this good. Am I right or am I right? That double red line detail really makes it for me.

I’ve always known that yellow and red were meant to be together. That beautiful hint of blue certainly adds a very nice touch.

Silk/satin and that light. This image may not show much, but I know you know the yellow halterneck dress is just stunning.

Classic and classy are the words for the blue coat and white shirt. Also, who doesn’t want to be in a restaurant as well-lit as this one right here.

Do you happen to have a favourite Knightley outfit? It’s OK if your answer is ‘all of them,’ because that’s my answer too.

Happy Film Loving,

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Aftermath (2018)


Directed by James Kent; The Aftermath is a World War II drama/romance starring  Keira Knightley, Aleksander Skarsgård and Jason Clarke.

At the centre of the story is a British colonel and his wife who are assigned to live in Hamburg, Germany during the post-war reconstruction. Tensions soon arise between them and the German who previously owned the house.

It’s probably too early to say it but I may already have my favourite trailer of this month. This story looks so very compelling thanks to the edit, music, cast, etc. There’s also the fashion. I’m definitely already loving all the clothes and coats on Knightley.

Kate Phillips, Jannik Schümann, Fionn O’Shea and Tom Bell also star.

The Aftermath Release Dates: March 1st, 2019 (UK); April 26th, 2019 (US)…

Cecil Beaton is known for being an Academy Award-winning costume designer, respected photographer, artist and set designer.

In Love, Cecil, director Lisa Immordino Vreeland brings us a look at Beaton’s life and work – through archival footage, interviews with those who worked closely with Beaton and photographs, along with voice-over by Beaton’s famed diaries.

I’m watching this one because of Beaton’s extraordinary creativity, his wit and personality; all of which I already got a glimpse of, thanks to an amusing clip  in Manolo – The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards (2016).

Love, Cecil Release Dates:June 29th, 2018 (US)…

YELLOW IS FORBIDDEN (2018): New Trailer For Couture Designer Guo Pei Documentary…

Directed by Pietra Brettkell, Yellow Is Forbidden is a new documentary about Guo Pei, a brave fashion designer chasing her dream of being crowned haute couture. The massive challenge for her is that she comes from China, the knock-off capital of the world.

I love stories about people chasing their dreams – however massive the challenge. I myself haven’t the patience, let alone the talent to be a fashion designer. As such, the people who do it well are always interesting to me.

I’m looking forward to this because I remember staring at Rihanna’s 2015 Met Gala outfit in great appreciation of the artistry and spectacle.
