Helena Bonham Carter Award Show Fashion. Does she need an Oscars stylist?

By showing up the the 2011 Golden Globes wearing mismatched shoes, HelenaBonham Carter proved she doesn't adhere to fashion rules. And even though the quirky actress already dubbed her upcoming Oscars gown a "catastrophe," one stylist hopes the nominated actress will take her fashion statement a little more seriously for the Oscars.

"She is a brilliant actress, so she needs to be a bit more serious about her wardrobe," fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo told PopEater at the 23rd Annual Bailey House Auction party.

Although the actress isn't interested in stylists, Valvo would step up at the last minute to give her a stunning look for the Oscars. "I would give her whimsical and quirky personality a bit of sophicication," he said.

"I would put her in something very Moulin Rouge or can-can with corsets and frilly skirts because she's so beautiful, and I'd make her shine," he added.

Carter<, who plays a young Queen Mum in 'The King's Speech,' is nominated for best supporting actress at the 2011 Oscars.

She's a lovely gal, but she dresses like she shops in trash cans. And can someone buy her a hairbrush?

I agree with you Just Me. This woman is a great actress but is very eccentric and is so with everything she does, much like the man she has lived with for years, Tim Burton.
I do not think she cares what anyone thinks of her style and will dress as she wants to.

By Robin

I think she looks great. She doesn't need some over the top stylist to tell her how to dress because she will never dress like those "stars." I hope she never does, she is nothing like them.

By merry

I love her unique style & say Don't Change it! FYI she is not the 1st person to wear mis-matched shoes. The late great tailor to the cowboys, Nudie Cohen, paid homage to his humble beginnings by also wearing mismatched custom cowboy boots. Look it up! You Go girl Helena and don't change for these called fashionistas!

By Debra Drzich

Why is it that if someone decides to be unique and live outside the box she is crucified? Why does she HAVE to follow what others think is normal? I wouldn't necessarily wear everything she decides to wear either but she is a brilliant actress and I go to the movies to see her performance. Besides she keeps her private life private without all the drama that other actors seem to feed on. Yeah for her and Tim Burton.

By New York

Sorry but you can be UNIQUE & still dress beautifully. Would any of you honestly wear any of those outfits she wears???? She is a beautiful woman. She just needs help in the wardrobe department. We are talking clothes not personality or uniqueness.

By Linda

I like her because she is different, she should not change, she is what she is. She is not a clone like the rest of them.

By Brigid

She doesn't play Queen Elizabeth. She plays Elizabeth's MOTHER. Does anyone check IMDB before writing these articles?
And, she is the most fiercely independent dressers ever. Why is Gaga so celebrated while Helena's scoffed? You know you're all going to be talking about whatever she ends up wearing on Monday.

By jktejas

Queen Elizabeth's mother, known to our generation as the "Queen Mum" was also named Elizabeth.....or perhaps it would be more accurante to say that the present queen is an "also named" after her mother. From the way you posted, it appears that facts might get in your way, so perhaps you might be interested in looking it up.

By krissyg2905

Yes, she does look strange in her outfits, but at least she is true to who she is. She is not trying to look a part or be something she's not. I'm happy that she embraces herself and doesn't try to fit in with what Hollywood is "supposed" to look like.

She is a great actress, but the poor dear always looks as if she's on her way to Wal-Mart after leaving Goodwill.

By valeskas

I love Helena with all her uniqueness.

By KS.

This lady is just super kool. She does her thing, in her own way. She brings fun to the otherwise "dull" awards shows. And there are just so MANY of THEM....

Helena Bonham Carter is great actress in all of Harry Potter movies and other movies. She was so good in Harry Potter movies that she was totally into her character that's very spooky!

For dresses that she wore and will wear is very cool and it's Helena's styles!

By Ann

NO! Leave her alone. She's fabulous just as she is in her own unique way. Her amazing talent and who she is as an above average intelligent person reflects in her bold, daring style.
Helena doesn't need to fit in with the "cookie cutter glam"
to be fabulous.
I doubt she even cares to either.
I admire her confidence in who she is more so than some
anything else.
Bravo Helena! Keep it up!

She always looks like she survived a nuclear attack in an evening gown.
