The actress you may best remember as Marla Singer in the movie, “Fight Club,” doesn’t care what people have to say about her sense of style. Helena Bonham created an uproar when she came to the 2011 Academy Awards wearing two different colored shoes. Some assumed that Bonham got dressed in the dark, but she insists that the choice was intentional. Moreover, Bonham went on to say that fashion rules were meant to be broken.
Helena Bonham has been wearing whatever she felt like at the time for many years now. Her quirky personality is undeniable on camera, but it seems like the world is not ready for her fashion choices in real life. Really, what one star wanted to wear to an awards show shouldn’t be enough to shake up the fashion world. Other stars such as Rose McGowan have come dressed in frocks that have left little to the imagination and Bjork once arrived wearing a dress that looked like a deceased swan.
If two mismatched shoes is enough to make stylists faint then designers really need to start thinking about their impact on the fashion world. Bonham is probably going to wear something even more shocking if she is fortunate enough to get an invitation to another awards ceremony. Her domestic partner Tim Burton is also well known for his larger than life persona, but thankfully, he dresses in basic black most of the time. Given Bonham’s reaction, the world may not have been able to take another fashion disaster at the same awards show.
