While the book lover in me spends most of my time in movies-based-on-books-world getting huffy about changes they’ve made to the source text, a small part of me gets inevitably distracted by something a bit less stuffy: the clothes. I watch the red carpet portion of awards shows more frequently than I ever watch the award shows themselves because PRETTY SHINY DRESSES and I am a magpie. For those who are equally curious about the sartorial choices of stars of bookish movies, here’s a round-up of some recent red carpet appearances:
