In the risk of sounding a bit like a stalker: I've been watching Rose Byrne for a long time. About 13 years, in fact. Back then, cable (and therefore Parental Locks) were pretty new. I watched a lot of films I really shouldn't have been able to - American Pie, Oscar & Lucinda, Titanic, to name but a few. But one particular film has remained with me for another reason than its inappropriateness: My Mother Frank was the first film I saw that starred Rose Byrne. This film was not, by any stretch of the imagination, one of Australian film's more memorable offerings. In fact, I can't even remember the storyline. The only thing I do remember is seeing Rose, and thinking just how wonderful she was. To this day, any time she comes on the screen, I say "she's my favourite actress". Not because she can move me to tears, or because her roles have been particularly boundary-pushing, she's just so very...watchable. Most people know her as her 'typecast role' - the uptight bitch of Bridesmaids, I Give It A Year, and, more recently, The Internship. Her filmography is far more impressive, with roles in Star Wars II, I Capture the Castle, X-Men: First Class, Troy, 28 Days Later, Marie Antoinette...the list goes on. But this is not entirely a big-up of Rose Byrne as an actress. This is also a fashion post, and she is one of the few people I can think of who gets it consistently 'right'. She never has a hair out of place, yet manages to look effortlessly put-together, as if she hasn't even tried. To me, that's fashion.
