Style Was The Primary Theme At The Mother And Child Premiere

Hollywood's Mother and Child Premiere took place on April 19 and it drew stars like moths to a flame. As usual, fashion ruled, as attendees were dressed to the nines in sharp tuxedos and beautiful gowns. More and more, fashion seems to overtake the purpose of these events, but no one seems to be complaining.

Kerry Washington stars in the film and dressed the part in her printed dress from designer J. Mendel. Sergio Rossi heels and golden clutch completed the look and were topped off by accessories that included a pink ring from Amrapali that stole the show. This ring was so large that observers could not help but comment on its beauty.

Amanda Seyfried arrived at the premiere wearing a dress from the Bodyamr Fall 2010 line. The purple and grey silk number made quite a statement. Perhaps this was because Seyfried appears to have worn the dress backward. The Bodyamr fashion show illustrated that the zipper should be displayed on the back, not front, of the dress. Seyfried did not star in the movie so perhaps dressing to attend the premiere was an afterthought.

The film had its New York premiere on April 26 with looks that were equally as stunning. Naomi Watts, one of the films' stars, wore a simple and sleek combination of a black top with lace details and black cropped pants by Stella McCartney. A simple pair of black heels and a black clutch handbag pulled the classy ensemble together.

Kerry Washington jazzed it up from her Hollywood appearance, wearing a mini-dress. This black and lilac little number came from the Fall 2010 Zac Posen collection. The dress underwent some tweaks from the Posen runway show, now appearing in a sleeveless version. Black peep-toe heels and a clutch of the same color finished off the look. We wait with bated breath for her fashion choices at the The Joneses Premiere.

It is hard to believe that stars like Annette Bening and Samuel L. Jackson are considered "old timers" but it is a sad reality. Bening paired her sleek black pantsuit with actor/husband Warren Beatty and the two made quite an attractive couple. The always sharply dressed Samuel L. Jackson and his beautiful spouse Latanya Richardson also turned heads.

The film Mother And Child shadows the lives of three very dynamic women. The first is a health care worker still struggling with the decision to give her daughter up for adoption after becoming pregnant at 14 years old. The daughter has grown up and has become a successful lawyer, but the decision made by her birth mother has affected her life as well. The third woman portrayed in this film has made the life-changing decision to adopt after discovering that she and her husband are not able to conceive a child.
