Catherine Zeta-Jones in LA

Posted on Jan 23, 2013 in Celebrity

Like many a queen, we just ADORE a good “rich bitch” look. And Miss Catherine is serving it all up on a silver platter.

Catherine Zeta Jones arrives at LAX.

We are now firmly convinced they should reboot Dynasty and she should play Alexis. Is this not a perfect 21st C. Alexis look? Of course the classic Alexis would never deign to wear skinny pants, but it’s a new era, darlings. A new era for bitchiness.

No, really. It’s such a great, chic little outfit. We approve.

I just don’t like her pilgrim hat…

  Ding! Nailed it.
- Melizmatic
  
  It’s the buckle; it ruins the chic effect the hat could have had.
- tmchale
  
  It doesn’t go well with her face; it takes up too much attention when the glasses are gone.
- kategs
  
  Hats like that make you look snooty even if you’re not. It’s silly the way she has to tip her head back just to see!

  They could always reboot Dynasty for the 16th century, and she could STILL play Alexis. Serving some John Carver realness.

  That’s what I was just going to say, too. Glad we’re all on the same page here. Or is it a rock? Plymouth Rock?

  Coming soon to Sears: The Miles Standish Collection, featuring accessories by Cotton Mather!

Other than the hat, I’m good with the whole outfit. Is that an Hermes bag? I LUST for it, whatever it is!
- Laurie Bergman
  
  The hardware looks like Ferragamo…and I join you in that lust!
- shopgirl716
  
  The bag is to die.

Pilgrim Hat.

Great look but is that John Smith’s hat?

PS, the flight attendant behind her is so cute! That would be me – “Oh boy, I’m walking behind Catherine Zeta Jones and the paparazzi are firing away. Hi Mom!”

  And I love her luggage. Like a delicious over-sized macarons.

She has inspired “stranger hate” in me from the first. Is it my bias, or are her hands looking old?

  Hands are one of the few places where you can’t really hide your age. Unless someone invents a hand-lift, which I’m sure is coming.
DaringMiss

Sorry TLo. I have to disagree. The outfit is just weird looking to me. The scarf just isn’t sitting right in the neckline of the jacket.
- tmchale
  
  But that was the only flaw. Everything else was good.
lexilexi

I never knew she had such skinny legs.
- SassieCassy
  
  dancers always retain great legs no matter what else happens.
- Kristin McNamara
  
  And those skinny skinny pants look to have the signature swoopy sheer cutouts style of Althea Harper. I mean, I doubt they are. But I wonder!
  - Connie Harbor
    
    I believe they are jodphurs…
leftcoastpickle

She just needs buckles on the boots to match. I hate this entire outfit, I think it makes her look old and weird.
another_laura

I want that entire outfit. STAT

CTZ flies commercial? Alexis wouldn’t.
EEKstl

You nailed it. Who else should we cast?
LittleKarnak

My thoughts exactly! Loveit all except that pilgrim hat buckle…..
http://profile.yahoo.com/PZJXF5ET5W5PMUIIGTTNOKHVSY Ka T

Meh. For me, it’s not coming together the way it should. The leggings a look like one of those high-end running pants. The neck treatment- is it a scarf? Is it a jabot? Are either a good choice? And while I love a good sport jacket with gold buttons, this one is a fug jacket that happens to have gold buttons. Maybe chic from a distance, but gross up close.
- AmeliaEve
  
  That is actually what I like about it. This is not an ensemble. It’s just clothes. It’s ordinary separates, kicked up maybe just half a notch. It’s unselfconscious and comfortable, but totally appropriate. I have a lot more to learn from an outfit like this than from some on-loan couture stuff put together by a stylist.
MilaXX

Funny you should say that because my first impression was she’s serving Alexis Carrington realness.
- Guidosdaddy
  
  Pretty sure she has complete control of Carrington oil and is going to let the board know so…
kimmeister

The subtle design on her thighs seems random. She is such a gorgeous woman, but man did she have a deer-in-the-headlights look while presenting at the Golden Globes. The past few years have been difficult for her.
Karen Maslowski

Are those riding pants?

She looks every inch the wealthy Mrs. Douglas.
StellaZafella

In the 80′s, in San Francisco, there was a woman who parked her immaculately restored vintage bronze Jaguar XKE at the Russ Building in the financial district and the license plates read: “RCH BCH”

Ms. Zeta Jones, here, could be that woman.

But who would play Krystal C?

  I kind of want to get that and put it on my ’97 Honda Civic hatchback.
  - Aurumgirl
    
    I want to get that and put it on my crumbly ’73 Pinto Wagon.
- H3ff
  
  Kate Hudson? She’d need some serious hair volumising treatments / wig, though.
alyce1213

I’d pay to see a rich bitch throwdown between Madames Zeta-Jones and Hayak, side by side.
I do like the way she looks, for what it is — except that hat buckle is killing me.

  I would pay good money to see that.

Oh my gosh, I love the hat. I think it makes the whole look!
jonnyf8

Thank goodness, Delta Burke finally found a diet that worked! Beautiful!
Sarah Thomas

That is one foxy Pilgrim.
http://profiles.google.com/gillianholroyd gillian holroyd

It’s a very *mature* look.
- formerlyAnon
  
  Yes. I didn’t believe it was her, at first, because this woman looks too old to be 43. Especially a rich 43 in an appearance conscious industry. Though, as an earlier poster remarked, it’s been a difficult couple of years for her.
  - tallgirl1204
    
    I think it would have looked much younger without the scarf.
  - PeaceBang
    
    I’m part of the Conspiracy Theory crowd who refuses to believe that CZJ is only 43.
  - 3boysful
    
    I would’ve believed it was Raquel Welch, who is some 20 yrs her senior (albeit with a lot of work).
Annabelle Archer

Do you remember the movie Soapdish? Something about this is giving me the mall scene vibe. Very, “Oh? Who me? A movie star, caught unaware? Oh my! ”
http://twitter.com/tangodiva Tanya Wade

Like something out of a Judith Krantz novel….love it.
par3182

I don’t care about the outfit…all I can think of now is the idea of rebooting ‘Dynasty’ with CZJ. Somebody make that happen!!
carpediva

YES! I swear, I was literally wracking my brain for Alexis’ full name even BEFORE I scrolled down and saw you guys were getting the same vibe here. Because totally, here comes Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan!
Call me Bee

Cute stylish and wonderfully practical for flying.

  Flying in first class, of course. I couldn’t imagine attempting to cross the ocean in skinny years and a hat back in economy class!

equestrian pilgrim.

She annoys me to no end, but she looks fabulously chic here.
shnaggi

Salma Hayek still reigns supreme, Zeta-Jones looses points for overstuffing the Purse, sporting Jodphurs and the Pilgrim Hat.
Lilak

Enjoying the drama of the disappearing/reappearing hatband buckle!
Bill Curtis

You beat me to it! I saw the first picture and thought, how did she go from PYT/sex-bomb to Joan Collins so quickly? It took her 15 yrs to go the route many stars go over the course of 30.
- baxterbaby
  
  I always thought she was a lovely woman who aged herself with makeup and clothing. Without much makeup, she has a very young, soft face. I find her to be the opposite of mutton dressed as lamb. And if she is 43, that means Michael Douglas is 68.
DeTrop

She was one of the worlds most beautiful women. She had work done and it shows. I noticed it at the Golden Globes and on TV when she made the rounds. She has that tight, stressed look that is aging. She used to have a fresh, soft look.
Love the outfit btw. Top to bottom.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=603005248 Jeff Warhurst

In order for this look to work, there has to be no sense of uncertainty or insecurity in her as can be seen in picture 5. It has to be 100% detached superiority, but yea, she looks fantastic! Queen of Wales.
RzYoung

Fab-u-lous! Imagine her and Salma in a fight?!
- sleah in norcal
  
  cat fight in the first class cabin!
Aurumgirl

Of course. She’s the Queen of Wales.

You all can fight over the bag; I’ll take the rings whilst you scuffle.

not quite …. I like the bag an the hat…. the pants ,jacket an shoes don’t look very expensive but am sure they are.

I covet that bag…
Linda Dodson

the buckle on the hat makes her look like a pilgrim
miagain

I hate her hat…. everything else is swell!
Judy_J

The flight attendant behind her on the escalator evidently approves as well!
TRSTL

I know it is probably a great outfit but she just bugs. And in the first shot I couldn’t make out the shape of the hat and my first thought bas “Vintage flight attendent”. Sorry…….
luciaphile

I love the hat, glasses, and scarf. The coat isn’t working for me. I think it’s because it’s double breasted and it’s making her look disproportionately large on top.
http://profile.yahoo.com/DNWEFT2SVBX5T3NPMROQCT4U2U jennyv

Oh my god, she would make an amazing Alexis!
suzanne77

Joan Collins was once in talks to have a movie made of her life, she suggested a then not-well-known actress named Catherine Zeta-Jones for the role. I mean, truly. It would be a casting coup!
neofashionista

I COVET that BAG
Lisa M. (ReVoir) Kramp

I loved it unreservedly until I saw the Pilgrim Buckle on the hat, which is just plain silly. Otherwise, she looks as fabulous as she is!
- sleah in norcal
  
  my first thought: is she landing at plymouth rock?
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002396153672 Ann Martina

I would love to see her play Ava Gardner
melanie0866

Yes, she looks like a chic, sophisticated SEVENTY-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. She’s not old enough to start dressing like Alexis Morell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan!
guest2visits

For a moment I thought she stepped out of an Austin Powers movie; this is highly dramatic for an airplane departure.
It’s so … not casual. Maybe if she lost the hat it would look less cold and aloof. Not.
- UglyTalents
  
  This is exactly how I look when I step off a plane.
  - guest2visits
    
    Then you are a star! congrats on your next film or perfectly respectable small screen appearance!
http://twitter.com/CeeJay37 CJ Michalak

i feel like she’s channeling Victoria Beckham here. and I’m TOTALLY ok w/that
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1452430239 Roxanne Pedro

What the hell?! She looks like the offspring of a pilgrim and a fop. Hahaha…I’m sorry, she looks ridiculous. Lose the hat and get the coat a size smaller, and she’d be in business.
