Getting The Hunger Games Cast Red Carpet Ready
March 12 is the world premiere of The Hunger Games movie in Los Angeles.
All eyes will be on the cast as they walk the red carpet into the Nokia Theater.
Celebrity stylist, Sophia Banks-Coloma will be styling four of the stars for the big night. She had a chat with Celebuzz about what we might expect from Jennifer Lawrence, as well as the looks she’s creating for Amandla Stenberg (Rue), Jacqueline Emerson (Foxface), Willow Shields (Prim) and Dayo Okeniyi (Thresh) for the premiere.
You’ll be styling Amandla Stenberg, Jacqueline Emerson, Willow Shields and Dayo Okeniyi for the HG premiere. What can we expect to see them wearing?
I can’t reveal too much yet, but there are a lot of high-end designers interested in them. We’ve done a few fittings and have some favorites, but we’re exploring new looks as well. They all have very different styles. Amandla loves Chanel and has a cool, edgy style, while Jacqueline loves longer dresses and favors Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton.
How are you going to make them stand out on the red carpet?
We’re going to pick the most amazing outfits for them. They won’t be wearing black! I’m looking for color and something that is different but reflects their characters, too… When a star has a big premiere, I usually pull about 50 outfits, even though we usually only try on about 20 of them. It’s more for peace of mind because I need to make sure they’re comfortable and confident before they even hit the carpet.
You styled Amandla and Jacqueline for InStyle’s Oscars Viewing Party. How was that?
Great! They’re so fun. I put Amandla in a Belle Sauvage printed mini and Calvin Klein flats. Jackie wore a beautiful Preen dress, Ista jewelry, Edie Parker clutch and Jerome C. Rousseau heels…. They are the most fabulous gals. It’s nice to have these young, enthusiastic bright-eyed people, who are excited and appreciative of everything. It’s very refreshing.
