Helena Bonham Carter

[Esurient]

I LOOOVE this actress. She has a super authentic look and a hilarious sense of humour. I love her in pretty much every movie and I love how weird she is. And of course, she's English, which I love. And while she's not thinspo, I find her really beautiful, not mainstream beautiful, but eccentrically so. If you've never seen her you'll know what I mean when you do.

And yeah. She's just amazing. She played Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter, Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, and Miss Lovett in Sweeney Todd. And for some foreshadowing, she will be playing Madame Thenardier in the 2012 production of "Les Miserables" which I'm quite excited about. (You can see she's a very versatile character.)

What do you think about this English legend?

I like her in her non-Burton roles but I agree she is very versatile. What I think is great about HBC is that she is just herself; a crazy and kooky dresser on the red carpet without a care what the fashion bloggers say about her. If she was not so established and talented as an actress I would say she is trying to get attention. But she has earned the right to wear whatever she pleases.

She definitely plays a good crazy lady. She was also Ophelia, in the Mel Gibson version of Hamlet. I really liked her in the King's Speech, though, as Queen Mary.

I absolutely love her.
She's one a very few actresses who is not afraid to look ridiculous or not as pretty onscreen ... or offscreen.
And she's actually stunning. I remember the first time I saw her outside Tim Burton's movie and I was shocked how stunning she is when you take off the crazy.


She seems like a person I'd love to hang out with in real life...

On her red carpet looks (what she's going to wear)
“I have no idea. Of course I want to have fun…It’s probably going to be a catastrophe. But it’s like, I’m gonna go for it.”

Amen!

I find her face so incredibly stunning - she has an otherwordly beauty that makes you do a double take. A real beauty.

Love, love, love!! She's one of those people whose personalities radiate outward to their appearance...I think that's how she is so beautiful to me.

I love love love this Helena Bonham Carter. I fell in love with her back when she did "Frankenstein" with Robert De Niro and have watched so many movies because of her since.

Who could forget "Fight Club"? God she was just the perfect balance for Brad Pitt and Ed Norton.

If you really love her acting style, you should see "Conversations with Other Women" It's super low budget and the entire film is just raw acting between Helena and Aaron Eckhart. They are so freakin real, it just sucked me all the way in.

LOVE her. She's one of the few people in the entertainment industry that come across as genuinely authentic, grounded and resistant to fitting into the mould. Just <3 her.

She's a great actress, i loved her in "The Fight Club"


Her street style is really bad though..
