I had a bit of Julia Roberts nostalgia last night and watched My Best Friend’s Wedding in all its fantastic OTT glory.
Here was a film I got into late; I didn’t watch it until my first year of Uni, which despite what some of you may think wasn’t that long ago!
Anyway, it now ranks as one of my favourite films and by chance it was being shown on E4, so I took a leap of faith on a school night at 10pm and decided to watch it. Stay with me...
So about half an hour in I realised I didn’t like Julia Roberts’s character at all and Cameron Diaz in all her annoying perfection could not pass for 20 years of age.
As for Dermot- what a tool. Seriously, make up your damn mind. No wonder Cameron was paranoid and no wonder Julia was convinced she had a shot!
To put it bluntly I got annoyed and huffy, but I did have a little giggle looking at the fashion in this movie, filmed in 1997.
Bad trouser suits, Ozzy Osbourne shades and big hair made up Jools, Julia Robert’s character. She was supposed to be a ‘power woman’ who smoked like a chimney and was slightly- OK- very neurotic.
Cameron Diaz worked the pastel shades in babydoll dresses, cardigans and pearls complete with a headband or two, and yes she did look adorable.
The looks may have worked in the late nineties but today these ladies would not cut the fashion mustard!
