Red Carpet - Frank Trapper (Welcome Books),
By BlogOnBooks "BlogOnBooks" (Los Angeles CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Carpet:21 Years of Fame and Fashion, Updated Edition (Hardcover)
With award season well behind us, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the pomp and circumstance, the fashion and glamour that is the ritual known as the Hollywood Red Carpet. In his recently updated `Red Carpet: 21 Years of Fame and Fashion' photojournalist Frank Trapper brings us highlights of all the glitz and glamour that is the modern day red carpet ceremony.
Photographing the Hollywood scene for more than 30 years for the likes of People, Us Weekly, GQ, Entertainment Weekly and others, Trapper has seen more than his share of these kind of events and they are all captured here over the last 21 years. What makes this 532 page/1,000 photo volume interesting is the evolution of certain celebrities over time. Early in the book we see a teenage Angelina Jolie entering the awards with her famous father actor Jon Voight, former celebrity couples like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and a series of fresh faced actors such as the much younger looking Mel Gibson and Hollywood hunk George Clooney. While formated chronologically beginning in 1987, Trapper (along with editor Katrina Fried) have picked and placed numerous photos in thematic layouts designed to show similarities in fashion styles (the beige page, the striped outfit page, the flower dress page, etc.) while depicting nearly every major star of the late-century film and music eras. (From Gweneth to Jack; Billy Bob to Halle; Beyonce to Sting, with a multitude of repeat performances from the aforementioned Ms. Jolie, Drew Barrymore, SJP, etc.) Clearly, over 21 years, as the players come and go, the fashion reigns supreme, with the sometimes revealing but mostly exquisite outfits carrying the day. Even the most memorable award fashion statements - J. Lo's deep cut and taped-on green dress and Bjork's infamous swan outfit - are all featured here. The nicest thing about `Red Carpet' is that the majority of the photographs are from the most high-end red carpet events (the Oscars, the Golden Globes and the Grammys) as the book is not watered down much by the inclusion of too many second-tier events (like parties and basic movie premieres, etc.) For fans of glamour, fashion and movie stars, `Red Carpet' will not disappoint.
