Greetings,
There has been a lot of "buzz" about the new Snow White movies in the costume world...
On one side you have Snow White and the Huntsman...and the other, Mirror, Mirror
Each movie has its own little story line, one seems to be a more dark fantasy and the other appears to be a light hearted (cheesy?) comedy.
Costumes for the "Huntsmen" are designed by Colleen Atwood.
Costumes for the "Mirror Mirror" are designed by Eiko Ishioka
However, what I noticed out of the 2 trailers the most...was the queens.
What queen shall you be voting for?
I personally...really like the look of Charlize Theron's queen the best. Amazing costume work and her overall look is just perfect. Love it. The Raven theme also stole the show for me, being I realy like ravens and her gown is highly accented with feathers and bird like elements...and the collar! LOVE.
Julia Roberts...has a fun fantasy costume that reminds me of a 1960's childeren's fairytale book. So for its over all theme the costume designer did a nice job. Lots of warm colors and fun fabrics.
Of course we can not forget the Snow White's.
Kristen Stewart is not my favorite actress. at all. However, I am hoping she can pull this off. Because I would have never picked her as Snow White.
I really like her over all look here. Colleen Atwood added touches that are classic Snow White (with the puffed sleeves etc...) but added a cool "ranger" like twist to her costume that I think makes a perfect combination. I am seeing alot of "Alice in Wonderland elements here..." but I think it shall be a fun movie.
Lily Collins does make a cute little Snow White.
Again, following that 1960's style fairy tale. (with the bright colors and comedy style lines) her gown is very pretty though. Looks perfect for a little girl princess. The amount of silk used in this movie is incredible! She appears to have LOTS of costume changes in this film. So that is fun.
Before we leave... here are a few shots of the guys as well.
Um....the pictures speak for themselves, no?
So...my favorites here are on the huntsman's side, but to be fair they didn't give the "mirror mirror" prince much of a chance going up against Chris Hemsworth and Sam Clafin.
The Huntsman's costumes look perfect. A bit Aragorn-ish, but with more green and brown tones. I am hoping we get to see more of the Prince's costumes soon...however his battle ready look is very classic as well.
What say you?
What Evil Queen's movie is your favorite so far?
Thor's...ahem, the 'Huntsmen's' gauntlets are pretty sweet.

I love Kristen's Snow White dress. I like the woodsy colour palette. Browns with a hint of red. Charlize's whole wardrobe looks stunning, but what do you expect with Colleen Atwood! She's an amazing costume designer.

Brielle!!!
What a wonderful blog this is. I also checked your costumes, YOU ROCK.
Concerning the battle between the Snow White movies... I've been a huge fan of both Ishioka and Atwood (and Powell and O'Connor but they're not here lol). I am also very dark so Atwood stole my heart in this one.
But c'mon, Ishioka closed her career with a standing ovation (and I'm still crying her death). "Mirror" is more sparkly, witty and fun, so I think she did an awesome job, specially during the Ball scene with all those silly animals. And Collins looks gorgeous!!!
On the other side, yeah, I'm with you against Stewart's acting skills. We'll see. And Theron, OH MY, she IS the Evil Queen. Love the raven theme too. Atwood has done it again and we expect another Oscar nomination.
