See Prisoners red carpet at TIFF 2013 »

It was all grey, black and blue on the Prisoners’ TIFF 2013 red carpet last night as the oh so colour coordinated cast showed up to promote the film. Stars Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal were all bromance, smiles, and plenty o’ scruff, both sporting slim suits and ties in tonal greys and blues. Co-star Terrence Howard followed suit (get it?) in a striped silk blue jacket and navy pants.

But blue wasn’t just for the boys. Melissa Leo wore a floor length velvet gown that had us dreaming of royalty, while co-star Maria Bello went for separates in an almost-navy mini skirt that showed off her hundred-mile-long gams. Paired with pointy-toe pumps, a crystal bracelet, and a crimson lip she was on total fire. No easy feat considering she was wearing a turtleneck—a turtleneck!—on the red carpet!

While the performances of Christian Bale and Melissa Leo are, deservedly so, sweeping the awards circuit and may do so again at the Oscars this Sunday, it’s the hair and makeup achievements of Leo’s Alice Ward and her seven scrappy daughters that I haven’t been able to stop lauding. A study in blue-collar beauty, the big hair and unflattering makeup was absolutely mesmerizing. Obsessed, I tracked down the head of the hair and makeup departments for the film: Johnny Villanueva and Donald Mowat—a Canadian—to grill them on the looks of the real life ladies from Lowell, Massachusetts.

Minnie Driver and Hilary Swank hit the red carpet in velvet for the premiere of Tony Goldwyn’s Conviction. (Vote here on who you think wore velvet better.) Co-stars Juliette Lewis, Sam Rockwell and Melissa Leo also attended in support of the film. Click the images below to see pics from the red carpet or see […]
