Oz Fashion: Evanora

Rachel Weisz sharpens her claws for the role of Evanora in Oz the Great and Powerful. Her character may seem sweet and kind-hearted in the beginning, but it's quickly recognizable that this ruling witch has something dark in her. Just look at the background in the picture above! Her dark demeanor is accompanied by gowns that easily reflect her essence.
The picture above shows a pretty nice close up of Evanora's simply b-e-a-utiful gown! The intricate beading on it, well, I can't find how long it took, but I'm sure it wasn't done in a day. The green is for the Emerald City she's takes great pleasure ruling over, but it also symbolises the color of envy. I like the colors chosen for the dress because she envies both her sisters in my opinion; Theodora for her power and Glinda for her gentleness and ability to have everyone love her.

Oh yeah, green also represents the color of the bolts of lightening she shoot out of her fingers.
Lastly, I want to point out her magnificent manicure. I am in love with the dark emerald color and the claw-like resemblance of them! What do you think of the manicure and gown?

Oz Fashion: Glinda


The next witch in our lineup is Glinda the Good. Michelle Williams trades out her sassy pixie cut for flowing blond tresses in Oz as she takes on this role as the most pure and gentle witch of the bunch, although she can vamp up the intensity at parts in the movie.

Glinda's wardrobe consist of long, white dresses (minus the princess poof from the original Wizard of Oz) that are slick, shiny and full of intricate beading and other beautiful details. She wears a tiara that reminds me of angular sea shells and carries her all powerful magical wand, that shows how she is the gentle ruler of her people as well as a powerful witch.


The first dress I want to discuss is the one pictured above (close up) and below (full sha-bang). This has to be one of my favorite dresses of the movie. It Incorporates sequins, feathers and a baroque pattern on the bottom of the dress. The dress is floor length, long sleeved and features strong shoulders. Simply magnificent!


The picture below features a second dress Glinda wore. Once more, white, beading and strong shoulders dominate her wardrobe, not to say it's disappointing. This theme among her gowns shows her innocence and purity, especially with the color scheme. I have to say, I love the shoulders on each of these dresses. What part is your favorite?
