Seems like only yesterday that this blog featured Marion Cotillard as a chic Adriana, a 1920s flapper darling in the highly-acclaimed Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris. And now, she returns in this era that fits her so well in a yet to be titled drama that coincides burlesque dancing and prostitution.

We see her in these Daily Mail pap shots, donning the flapper gear with, of course, the shoes to match. And they’re hard to miss, being pink and prettily bow’d up.

Cotillard has been spotted filming in Prospect Park, Brooklyn alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Jeremy Renner is also mentioned to appear in this film directed by James Gray. The movie is set to be released next year.

Anticipating Midnight in Paris

One movie I can’t wait to see is Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” featuring some of my favorite actors like Kathy Bates, Rachel McAdams, Adrien Brody and the ever-classy Marion Cotillard. More than a few paparazzi pictures of the movie set has leaked on the internet and judging by the actors’ costumes, the movie looks like it will take place in the 1920s.

Marion Cotillard for instance has been spotted a couple of times in t-strap mary janes pumps, a shoe style which is unmistakably 1920s. Her hair, clothing and other accessories are other obvious clues of course.

Check out some pictures from the “Midnight in Paris” set and the actors looking like they came right out of the 20s:

I can’t wait to see how else they will incorporate the 1920s into this movie. And of course, I’m also looking forward to seeing more authentic 1920s clothes and shoes in “Midnight in Paris”.

Fashion-Era.com calls the mary jane shoes as THE style of the twenties and I couldn’t agree more. As this was the decade when hemlines were first raised to show the ankle (accompanied by much controversy), more focus and attention was given to the shoe and thus the embellished, decorated and ornamented shoe was born. Toes became more pointed, heels got a little higher, and shoes were adorned with sequins, satin, buckles and bows.

Shoe lovers have a lot to thank the twenties for because if it weren’t for the women getting smart and demanding that their skirt become shorter so that they’d stop sweeping the dirt off the floor with them, we’d have really plain shoes! I’m also thankful that the 1920s shoe style still prevails even up to this day, with barely a change in their silhouette and design.

So in anticipation of “Midnight in Paris”, here are 5 1920s t-strap mary jane pumps to help tide the wait over:

Clockwise from top: Circa Joan & David Cameo, $98.95. D&G Dolce & Gabbana DS1984 E1134 8B953 Two-Tone Bow Mary Janes, $339.39 (was $524.00). Ted Baker Imaluse, $95.00 (was $135.00). Biviel BV2325 Buckle Mary Janes, $165.00. Gabriella Rocha Shelby2, $53.96 (was $59.95).

What Shoes Would you Wear with Marion Cotillard’s Red Dress?

For some reason, no matter how hard I look, I can’t seem to find clear pictures of what shoes Marion Cotillard wore with this red dress:

May 18, 2010 – Marion Cotillard arrives at the Le Grand Journal Studio for her guest appearance

These pictures were taken outside the Le Grand journal studio, right before Marion Cotillard’s guest appearance on the French TV talk show last May 18, 2010. There are some pictures of her from afar, but all I can really tell from those is that she wore nude-colored shoes and that she looked stunning from head to toe.

Marion Cotillard’s guest appearance on Le Grand Journal. See what I mean?

Anyway, because I can’t find pictures of her shoes, now would be a good time to play what shoes would you wear with Marion Cotillard’s red dress?

With that full pleated skirt and fitted bodice, Marion’s dress is clearly inspired by the shapes and silhouettes of the 1950s. So with that, I thought it would be fitting to have shoe selections that are 50s-inspired as well.

So which of these shoes would you wear with a dress like Marion’s? :

A) The Ros Hommerson Urban, a modern take on the quintessential 50s saddle shoe?

Ros Hommerson Women’s Urban, $101.99 (16% off)

B) The Badgley Mischka Xavier, a beribboned high-heeled slingback shoe?

Badgley Mischka Xavier, $194.00

or C) The Gabriella Rocha Mylie Pump, because they’re similar to what Marion Cotillard wore with her dress and she looks stunning in it already (why fix it if it ain’t broke)?

Gabriella Rocha Mylie Pump, $58.50

Pick away!

Spotted: Platform T-Straps on Marion Cotillard at the 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Like any other red carpet event, the 2010 SAG Awards held last January 23, Saturday, generated its own list of best and worst dressed celebrities. French actress and academy award winner, Marion Cotillard, was one of the lucky ones to be classified in the finer group. Her outfit was a stunning short white one-shoulder dress that was fully beaded and decorated with feather accents on the lower part of the skirt.

Personally, I’m not crazy about the feathers, but she does look ‘old Hollywood’ glamorous in the dress. What really caught my attention however, were the platform T-strap sandals she wore with the dress.

Instead of pairing the dress with the usual classic (traditional) T-straps, Marion opted for a more contemporary pair with thick platforms and thick vertical front straps. The choice added a modern and edgy appeal to the vintage looking outfit. As a result, the whole get up was a fusion of old and new, a mix of then and now, but tastefully blended.

If you want a set of platform T-strap sandals just like Marion’s, here are my suggestions in basic black and white for easy pairing:
