I finally watched The Blind Side (I know, I'm two years behind everyone else) on Christmas night! What a cute little movie. Sandra Bullock definitely carried the film but all in all everyone did a great job (shout out to Kathy Bates!!!!).
However, I was most impressed by the costume designer, Daniel Orlandi and the entire Makeup team for bringing these characters to life. Particularly in the scenes with Leigh Anne and her other friends at the "overpriced salad" restaurant I had an out of movie experience. While I continued watching the movie, I sat back and was like, "Wow... they really look like well off Christian women trying to be conservative with the flaunting of their wealth. Bravo. Okay... back to movie."
Everything from her hair (wigs), sunglasses, nails, toned and tanned arms to the selection of her jewelry (never without a diamond cross necklace) spoke perfectly to who Leigh Anne is and the image she wants to convey. Very well done.
On a side note, during the scene where the family goes to Barnes and Noble and reads children's books before eating out, daughter Collins (a.k.a Lilly Collins, a.k.a. Phil Collins' daughter) is wearing a white Juicy Couture Jacket with embellished gold buttons that retails for $360.00. Ecologie had that jacket for a lot less. Like, a whole digit less. Just sayin'
Rent/Buy/Illegally Download (just kidding) the movie if you're like me and haven't seen it yet. A feel good you'll want to watch with the fam.
