Renee Zellwegger has a special place in my heart ever since Bridget Jones Diary. While her penchant for Carolina Herrera gowns and excessive weight loss are not on my list of her fav attributes, her starring role in the campy 2003 movie “Down with Love” certainly is. A homepage to the Doris Day/Rock Hudson battle of the sexes films of the 60s, “Down with Love” is heavy on the girl power and innuendos.
But the real star of film is the costumes and wardrobe. While the plot is purely farce, the wardrobe is SURRRRRRRIOUS! Wool sheath dresses, matching hats and gloves, stewardess ensembles, hat boxes and dance numbers. And yall know I’m a sucker for a dance number. Down with Love, UP with FASHION!
Barbara Novak coming to the Big City… in Style
Wanted: A best friend to take long walks on the beach and wear alternating outfits. Must Love Dogs (oh wait wrong movie)
This two-piece needs a spot in my wardrobe, preferably worn poolside. Not to mention I NEED to live in this apartment
Feathers and Iridescent Suits… I DIE (literally, not in the Rachel Zoe way)
Fly the Stylish Skies!
All white everything and a turban to boot! Wouldn’t this make the perfect retirement ensemble?
There are so many great fashion moments in this film. If you haven’t seen it you must watch… NOW!
Are you a Down with Love Girl?
I haven’t seen this since it came out – but I distinctly remember seeing it in the theater and being pleasantly surprised. I did little to no research going in and was smitten during the opening opening credits. I’ll need to netflix it asap!
I have it on DVD so I’ve seen it more times than I probably should have!
I want to marry Ewan in the third shot, I love the glasses wearing Texas incarnation. LOVE IT!
Lol. yes Zip Martin was a catch!
I heart Renee Zellwegger in Bridget Jones’ Diary. That is just one of those movies that I can watch over and over again. =)
Me too! Though I think 1 is better than the Edge of Reason.
Renee can literally make herself look like a mess or a drop dead gorgeous woman. She cleans up well to say the least
