New Moon Premier Outfits: Winners

It's red carpet time people, which means it is also time for breaking down the outfits that were. This post is dedicated to all those Twi-cast members who were able to correctly work out what to wear to a premier where they will be photographed approximately a bazillion times. You could hear the cameras clicking away the whole time the red carpet feed was "streaming", which is Internet speak for buffering and teasing me until I give up. Fortunately, a picture is worth 1,000 pieces of buffering nonsense.

Without further ado, the winners on the New Moon premier red carpet:

Kristen Stewart

I may like some of the edgier looks from the New Moon movie promotional tour on her better, but there is no denying that Kristen Steward was representing Bella Swan with class here.

Taylor Lautner

Taylor certainly cleans up nicely!

Rob Pattinson

Basically, this one is here because Rob Pattinson in a suit on the red carpet = win.

Julia Jones

Yes, you play the mean girl. Fortunately, you still know how to look sweet on the red carpet. Not to showy, not limelight sucking away from the stars, and still full of class. Way to go!

Something Nice Happens To Leah?

In blatant violation of the unwritten but surely chiseled in stone Twi-Rule that nothing good can happen to Leah Clearwater, Julia Jones has been cast as Leah for Eclipse.

Eat it, Cousin Emily!

You know what I don't see in these photos?

Bitterness. Or at least that kind of hard flinty eye that lets you know this is a woman who has been through some major pain and suffering. Leah Clearwater is NOT a happy camper, though she is trying to deal. She just gets the short end of the stick on a lot of things.

Julia Jones seems too nice for the role. On the other hand, her last major movie was called Hell Ride, so maybe there is some inner badass lurking in there that is really coming to make this work.

Fun Things I Learned About Julia Jones researching this post:

• She's studied ballet since she was 4
• She likes doing the NY Times Crossword (brains, I LIKE IT)
• She has a degree in English from The Columbian University (translation: has probably read the books--and that's a good thing, too)
