Helena Bonham Carter: need we say more?

Whenever I see Helena Bonham Carter's outfits at award shows, I would cringe. And I would always ask myself, "Who in their right mind would wear that to a gathering of the Hollywood elite that'll be watched by millions of other people?"

But now I've started to admire her courage in wearing those eccentric ensembles. It must take a lot of daring to stand up in front of all the other women in their gorgeous gowns with a style that looks like it was pulled together from several decades.

Now, it's almost become expected of her to dress wacky. She does this to put on a show for us viewers. No matter how many people laugh and shake their heads, they would secretly be let down if she showed up at any award show in a classy outfit. What would they gossip about the next day?

What I admire most about Helena Bonham Carter is that she's confident, which is sexy. If you're confident in yourself and don't care how anyone else perceives you, you can take on the world.

Always believe in yourselves and your choices, darlings. That includes your outfits.

Stay original!
