Breakfast Club Reunion

Dear hearts, you may or may not remember the tribute to John Hughes at the Oscars this past year. At the time, Mr. Fashionista and I were a bit upset, because, well, our fave teenagers were now seriously middle-aged.

Well, recently four of our fave brat packers (Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson) reunited once again for the 25th anniversary of the Breakfast Club and tribute to John Hughes held by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and we were either prepared to see the Brat Pack in their forties or they were looking better than they did earlier this year.

As seen in the photo above, Anthony Michael Hall is looking pretty messy here, but he doesn't look ancient, so that's good at least. Judd Nelson has (thank god) shaved all of the offensive facial hair he had at the Oscars, but has still committed a horrible wrong by wearing that atrocious tie.



Ally Sheedy's ensemble is pretty underwhelming and looks a bit casual for the event, but we think her hair and make up look really great and she looks fresh and pretty. She has aged very well.



Molly Ringwald has actually made an attempt at being fashionable here. And overall, we think she looks pretty great. She has sideswept her very severely cut blunt bangs, which has really softened up her look. We also like her dress, which is flattering and has some interest with the one shoulder. In theory, we think her shoes are perfect. The ankle straps mimic the broad "strap" effect of the dress. On the other hand, we kind of feel like that ankle strap is cutting off the lines of her legs in a bad way.

 

Overall, these four should have done much, much better with their fashion choices. We will, however, give each of them a pass as they at least look better from the neck up than they did at the Oscars. But as Principal Vernon from the Breakfast Club said: "The next time I come in here, I'm crackin' skulls!!"
