Winona crush time

Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Winona Ryder. It doesn't matter how much she nicks, she's still my style crush of choice.

She turned up the Donna Karan parade at New York Fashion Week looking exactly like her character Leilana from Reality Bites and I was taken back to a time when she was the most idoliscious brunette on the screen.

Her whole big-eyed, smart-mouthed, short-haired quirky girl thing was an absolute killer combination in the 1994 film. It still is right now. Most brunettes from Fitzroy North probably think so too, because a trip to the pub these days is something like a universal homage to this Hollywood beauty.

Winona's shoplifting of Marc Jacobs goodies never really bothered me. Didn't bother Marc Jacobs either. He used her in those gorgeous ads.




I can't endorse shoplifting, but her crime ended up giving her career a lift and she's got eight films in post-production right now.

Winonas of the future include Natalie Portman and Rose Burn, but Wino's unfair advantage is Reality Bites - oh, and dating Johnny Depp. That combo you just can't beat.

taperjeangal New citizen taperjeangal ON 20 Oct 2008 10:44:50AM Wynona is my style icon! as a fellow doe eyed, ivory skinned, red lipped short haired brunette, I think great she's back from that shop lifting experience.
