Golden Globes 2011
“I have no idea, really. It’s going to probably be a catastrophe,” the King’s Speech star told PEOPLE at the Academy Award Nominees Luncheon in L.A. “It’s right up to the last minute that it can go wrong at any time. I can be going for something quite [classy] and suddenly at the last minute go off piece. So we’ll see. It’s a mystery to me, actually.” 


I have a confession to make. 


After seeing HBC in The King's Speech, and various asundry interviews, I think I'm becoming a fan. Whuh huh??? Yea, no one more than me is surprised at that revelation. I used to write her off as a weirdo-eccentric-has-been-actress, using fashion as a lame attempt to garner attention. And although some of that may be true, lately I've found her quirkiness and out-there comments somewhat refreshing and charming. Certainly not a neatly packaged cookie cutter hollywood celebrity...and I totally applaud that. 


So, Helena...little quirk-a-muffin that you are, here are a few suggestions from New York Fashion week and one of my favorite online vintage stores. And, should you happen to want to hire a stylist...1-800-CAL-MEEE.


Wild thang, you make my heart sing. Miss Bea.
