The Berlinale 2011, a Great Red Carpet Event
Berlin is known as frugal but sexy. Once a year however, Berlinade director Dieter Kosslick rolls out the red carpet for the stars in the great bear hunt. (The awards are in the shape of a bear, which is also the symbol of Berlin.) This is the signal for Berlin to pull out all stops and show its glamour for the Berlinade film festival
Last night, the 61st Berlinade started with the opening movie ‘True Grit’. The new film version of the massive epic tale by Charles Portis was produced by the well-known Coen brothers. None of the roughly 1,600 Berlinade guests wore lavish or glittering robes; they rather seemed to prefer simple elegance. At least among the female guests, we did however see beautiful hair and sensational hair styles. With a few exceptions, men opted for the very natural look, although in some cases this may be putting it mildly. Plenty of hair and even more beard were the new trends at least according to the True Grit leading man Jeff Bridges and director Joel Coen.
Striking was the preponderance of updos. The moderator Anke Engelke, the enchanting leading teen actress in ‘True Grit’ Hailee Steinfeld and the actress Hannah Herzsprung all showed up with enchanting updo versions. In contrast, the jury president Isabella Rosselini and the actress Christiane Paul convinced with equally glamorous short haircuts. Below we show you our favourite Berlinade hair styles.
Star-Looks Berlinale 2011
The endearingly natural ‘True Grit’ lead actress Hailee Steinfeld is only 15 years old. In terms of glamour she is by no means second to her adult colleagues. Her luxurious chignon on top of her head adds to her style and beauty
Jury forewoman Isabella Rosselini deserves an award for her boy cut, which perfectly fits her clear and expressive facial features
Actress and jury member Nina Hoss convinces with her understated elegance. She wears a straight ponytail and has her long fringes combed to the side
Actress Hannah Herzsprung looks intriguing. The colourful graphic patterns on her dress, the bright red lips and the deliberately simple chignon in the back of her head all add up to a complete and consistent style
Whatever the jury decides, we award Marie Bäumer a prize for her style. Her natural chestnut-brown curls complement her plain coral-coloured dress
Such lustre is extraordinary and ample reason for Natalia Wörner to wear her gorgeous nougat-brown hair straight and free flowing
Actress Sibel Kekilli impresses with her plain beauty. She is also known for her wit. Her hair is parted angularly on one side and flows in soft waves
Nora von Waldstätten made her appearance in a pastel-coloured, gown with gathers. She simply pinned her side hair high up in the back of her head
Such gorgeous eyes deserve to be noticed, and the pixie haircut draws all the attention to their beauty
The very elegant Nadine Warmuth has a style of her own. She uses pins to shape her hair into a large soft roll in the back of her neck
In 2007, Josh Brolin convinced as a lead in the thriller ‘No Country for Old Men’ (directed by Noel). Yesterday, he convinced us with his smart casual look with side parting
Of course, aging cowboys and exceptional actors can look anyway they want to look. Still, we believe that Jeff Bridges would look even a tad more appealing to us without the full beard
Director and producer Joel Coen does not need glamour to be interesting and should experiment only in the art of making movies. In real life, glasses, beard and hair are secondary
Hailee Steinfeld’s High Chignon
