Eva Green in Elie Saab at the Miss Peregrine premiere: dowdy or sexy?

I realize that many of you are Eva Green super-fans, so this post is just for you. These are photos of Eva at last night’s New York premiere of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, the new Tim Burton film. Incidentally, there are still rumors that Eva and Burton might be in a relationship, or were in a relationship when they filmed this. They still aren’t saying, although the body language could go either way. I think they look friendly and she seems like she would be Tim Burton’s (manic pixie/goth) dream girl.

Eva wore this somewhat underwhelming Elie Saab gown for the premiere. I love the color and she looks like a beautiful vampire created by Anne Rice. But the actual design of the gown is sort of a big MEH. I think it’s that netting/crochet/lace vibe on the front and on the side. It seems slightly dowdy when they were aiming for sexy, and you have to really TRY to make Eva look dowdy.

Meanwhile, Eva is over playing The Girlfriend. Good! She said:

“I don’t want to be the woman in the script where it goes, ‘There’s a beautiful, mysterious woman…’ Just, OK, forget it. I think I would feel unhappy. Some people play it very well but I want to be as equal as a man, you know what I mean? It’s nice not to play the girlfriend. It’s exciting to be other.”

While I don’t doubt that she’s legitimately tired of getting those scripts where she would just be playing “the beautiful girlfriend” to the hero, I also think that she’s getting to the age (she’s 36) where those scripts are really starting to drop off. Might as well make it look like her choice, you know?
