Posted In Bryce Dallas Howard on September 2nd, 2009
Now, I admit, I did not recognize Bryce Dallas Howard at all in this photo, and I owe thanks to Shannon for IDing her. I did know who she was, of course- the actress to replace Rachelle Lefevre as Victoria in the third Twilight film, Eclipse. But I didn’t know what she looked like.
And now I’m a bit skeptical about her playing Victoria- I mean, she doesn’t really look evil here at all, does she? Despite her dark red hair and blunt bangs, she still has this sort of innocent yet mysterious look- nowhere near evil enough. And she’s even carrying a Chanel bag- the Chanel Cerf /Executive Tote. I can’t tell whether it’s the Cerf of the Executive; can you?
All right, so I’m not saying that evil people can’t carry Chanel. In fact, Chanel can cover a lot of bases. Evil wealthy woman to society lady to hip teen to a tween dressing way too old, Chanel can go there. And I like Bryce’s Chanel look- it’s not a traditional Chanel bag, but the clean lines, smooth leather, and classic tan make it.
And as a last, random comment, I can’t help but notice the Coach Spectator Sabrina in the side of the photo, which makes me think that perhaps Nikki Reed, who’s been spotted with this exact bag, is around.

LOL – Totally agree, she just doesn’t look “Victoria”. The Chanel bag is too-nice-to-be-a-villianess, too.

I don’t really have much to say although her hair seems to be a very unnatural red color; that and her bangs really bother me. But she looks very cute and well put together. the tote is definitely a classic.

I agree with Jessica. Also, she definitely doesn’t look like a Victoria.

Aww she has a cute smile. Yeah it makes me sad that the other actress that played Victoria in twilight was replaced like that *finger snap*

overall style assessment – ho hum. showing that even a nice chanel bag can’t create style all by its lonesome. she looks happy— i guess i’d be smiling to if i was born having it all and then got to take that which belonged to others. born lucky. . . not stylish

The bag is really boring. She doesn’t look like what i imagined victoria to look like.

I agree, she doesn’t look evil here at all, but I’ve seen other pics of her, and I think she’s going to rock the part! I can totally picture her as Victoria and think she has a better look for her, than Rachel did. Being that since this is a Chanel bag, I figured I’d love it, but I don’t like it at all…it’s very old ladyish looking and just kinda “blah”. She might not have the best style, but I really think she’s going to play Victoria well.

I think that if the bag was a slightly lighter shade I would adore it.

everyone always comments that the actors dont suit the characters but then u see them playing the role and it fits. I think she will do ok as Victoria.

The bag looks a little too dull.. it’s cute, but too simple for my tastes.

I like the original actress for Twiilight, but hopefully she makes a good replacement. The bag is nice but I agree with others here that it’s a little too simple.
