All of this misses the point. The only thing that really matters is what Tilda Swinton is wearing.
Here we see here in her various guises (from left to right) playing: Awards Goddess (jury president Berlinale), avant garde icon (at the premiere of Michelle Pfeiffer's Chéri. One would hate to have sat behind her), alien (Venice Film Festival), movie star (at The Curious Case of Benjamin Button premiere), international celebrity (at the BAFTA/LA shindig) and acclaimed actress (at the AFI fest).
People like to claim that celebrity culture is evidence of our global decline into shallowness and stupidity. But that's only because we obsess on the wrong celebrities. Obsessing on Tilda Swinton makes the world a better place.
Try it!
more for the insatiable Swintonites among you. The photo with *is the night I stood right next to her . What will she wear tonite?
