"Have you all seen the previews for HBO&amp;#x27;s new movie, Grey Gardens (with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange)? If not, you should fire up the TiVo for this Saturday at 8:00 P.M. to try and catch a look as I really think that you&amp;#x27;ll love looking at the quirky costumes--fashion risk-takers might even be able to steal a new style idea or two!If you&amp;#x27;re not familiar with the story, here&amp;#x27;s the short version: The plot revolves around Jackie Kennedy&amp;#x27;s eccentric aunt and first cousin (both named Edie) and their life at their Hampton&amp;#x27;s home, Grey Gardens. The two were originally chronicled in a 1970&amp;#x27;s documentary, and once unveiled, the isolated (and not-so-sanitary) lifestyle of these two American aristocrats made waves in the media. And it&amp;#x27;s worth noting that the duo&amp;#x27;s signature quirky, make-shift style (shorts as hats, sweaters as skirts) has made an impression on the fashion crowd ever since. HBO&amp;#x27;s re-make of the documentary features is near perfection. The &amp;#x27;40s, &amp;#x27;50s and &amp;#x27;60s clothes, hair and makeup are totally captivating. (Hard-core fashion buffs might remember seeing some Grey Gardens inspiration on runways before, but I wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t be surprised to see a more modified version of these looks on Prada&amp;#x27;s runway in 2010!) Plus, I can&amp;amp;#8217;t help but giggle at Drew as she portrays Little Edie! It&amp;#x27;s so funny to see one of today&amp;#x27;s brightest and coolest stars as the fame-hungry, spotlight-stealing Little Edie. Grey Gardens premieres this Saturday on HBO, here&amp;#x27;s a sneak peek at one of my favorite scenes from the film: I can totally imagine finding Big Edie&amp;#x27;s (Jessica) red coat look in one of the vintage shops here in NYC, and Little Edie&amp;#x27;s (Drew) hooded dress? So chic! And, speaking of Grey Gardens, how great does Drew Barrymore look in this Dior dress at the premiere? Click here to vote on your favorite look from the night. Do movies inspire your personal style? If you saw these styles on the runways, would that make you want to wear it more? Photo:Peter Stranks"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
