Good diva: Cynthia Erivo
Seen from the sofa, it doesn’t really matter what happens on the few red carpets. The young actresses there are boring sex bombs or nerds with a political message on their evening dress, the superstars are just embarrassing caricatures, think of Lady Gaga. So boring, if it weren’t for Cynthia Erivo. The British singer and actress sometimes wears a nose ring and always plastic nails, as well as rasp-short hair, feathers, frills, volume, color gradients and huge cleavages, and in a good mood she plays the whole range of the great performance. But by no means does she use fashion as a vehicle for self-marketing, as is common today, no, this woman loves and understands fashion! Where do you start? With her neon green, stiffly protruding A-line dress by Valentino Haute Couture at the Golden Globes? With the high-necked robe with swan print and matching turban from the basic bitch label Tory Burch? Or the Schiaparelli look at the premiere of “Dune”, where she wore a warm aluminum stole with a pencil skirt? Here we see her at the Venice Film Festival in Gucci, and this robe with integrated bra plus angel wings doesn’t look ridiculous because the 34-year-old has deciphered the secret of the so-called “fashion moment”: ideally, the interesting outweighs the beautiful, but only a tiny bit, and in symbiosis with the wearer it becomes a total work of art. Good fashion on good divas ensures that the show goes on. No fashion message was more important this year.
Good guy: Karl Lauterbach
If you want to make a career in politics, you should refrain from extravagance. The smallest caper in clothing, glasses or hairstyle is interpreted unfavorably in this country, every lovable peculiarity is declared as a behavioral problem at the latest in the election campaign. Even a bow tie instead of a tie on the shirt collar is considered subversive by many people, and an unruly tuft of hair is enough for them as proof of a provocative mess. No, inconspicuous in form and content, that’s the best way to stay as a politician. It is all the more important that a few characters appear in this formatted circus who have preserved something of the person they once wanted to be. In this sense, Karl Lauterbach’s traces of the funny Harvard professor can still be traced despite many months in the spotlight. Although he took off the bow ties just as confidently as he wore them before, his wandering, lanky body language, the youthful agility in his gaze, the rimless glasses and the tendency of his hairstyle to form unorthodox groups before important appearances also contribute to the overall picture Scholars at. Message: This is a sober thinker who doesn’t care much about outward appearances, but does so with pleasure. We are not used to this, but in the Anglo-Saxon countries the style is standard: open shirt collar, escalating sweater, bad jacket – Oxford or Cambridge? Estimate: If everything doesn’t go wrong, Lauterbach will definitely have a cult following in two years. And people who still find it “kind of annoying” understand that.
