The Princess of Persia's night

A diversion tonight, dedicated to the probable reason why Jake Gyllenhaal has been given some time off over the last few days - Jake's Princess of Persia Gemma Arterton has been publicising the new Bond movie Quantum of Solace, which, last night, received its royal premiere, in the frosty streets of London Town. Gemma looked absolutely amazing. And, as Daniel Craig said himself, 'Gemma is a rising star and we were lucky to get her.'


Meanwhile, here is an article about part-time actress Barbara Weetman who scored a role recently as wife to the doomed cookie-chomping James Brolin in Nailed. Here's hoping we get to see the results of her efforts, and sooner rather than later.


Pictures from IHJ and here.

Wow, Gemma really does look amazing. Love the dress, and really love the shoes! :)

Good night, wet dark!
I liked the color of the dress, but not the dress!
The shoes is beautiful!

Gemma will certainly regret this outfit soon! Her dress looks like a Halloween costume to me.
Her shoes are exaggerated, her belt must have been borrowed from a gladiator film wardrobe.
Sorry...I've never seen so much of a bad taste since Bai Lin appeared in Hollywood, or Bjork showed up with that horrible swan dress.

I'm praying here for I never commit a fashion crime like this. God forbid!

Hmmmm seems like the Nailed crowd consists of alot of SNL folks. Interesting.

More pictures of Gemma please. She is lovely, and I hope she has a real feisty action figure role in PoP.

Wish we would see more studio portraits from PoP like that of Ben K. -

In the meantime, pray for us here in the USA, people are buying liquor and guns. Maybe All Hallows Eve will calm down the crazies, they will go back into their graves.

I think the dress has a very Arabian Nights, veil-y, Princess of Persia feel, especially the shoes, and where she is one of the current Bond Girls, wearing something avant garde and sexy at a Bond premiere is fun. At any rate, she can carry it off and has great legs. Love the color.

Dear me. Gemma looks very...healthy... and very...athletic in those pictures.

Good morning everyone! And it's Friday...Not a moment too soon. Sorry I missed you all last night - thanks to Ruby for a lovely evening of risotto and cosmos :D

Hi Anon 22:32! The shoes are amazing - I hope the red carpet was short!

Hi Monica! The colour is absolutely stunning and I love the different shades.

Hello other Monica :D I do like the dress. I think it's a fun thing to wear for an event like that. But I can see that not everyone would like it :D Oh that swan dress... I still have the nightmares...

Hey Pia! An interesting cast in Nailed for sure and they all deserve to be shown. I think Gemma is just lovely and so talented. Crazy times.

Hi Anons :D I would really like to see Gemma in her PoP regalia - and photos of her with the Prince too, please.

Have a lovely day everyone - and wrap up! It's freezing out there...

Hi WDW and everyone.:)

Honestly I don't like that dress at all but I do think that she's beautiful, besides such outfit has a vantage point in giving us a glimpse of the athletic and fearless princess who's destined to fall into the strong arms of Prince Dastan.:)

Have a good day everyone, windy and rainy even here today.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Xenia! Gemma looks like she could be quite a match for Dastan :D have a good day.

Oh yeah, let's be fair. She has a horrible taste for clothes and shows off a little too much, but she is a WONDERFUL woman!
I'd say PERFECT.

One can't have it all, right?
