SAY HELLO TO BRYCE

Posted Aug 07 2009 @ 12:02 AM

Showing off freshly straightened locks, Twilight's newest cast member Bryce Dallas Howard was spotted strolling Beverly Hills on August 1. I just have to say the new 'do is bangin'! You'd never guess she's actually 28 years old – weird, right? As she went about her day, B started with a casual pink summer dress (check out Cake Couture's Peasant Dress in Lilac, Gold Hawk's Two Tone Morph Dress in Geranium Pink, or Qi's Ruffle Tie Dress in Creamsickle for similar rosy hued styles) paired with simple ballet flats (Bryce wore grey ones but I prefer Matiko's Kail Sandal in Grey for summer), classic Wayfarers and a simple tan tote (indulge in Zambos and Siega's Mansfield Tote in Stone). It's not like her 'fit is anything to swoon over, but she looks age appropriate and I just can't stop fawning over those gorgeous red tresses! Am I alone here? For all you Twilight fans, accusations have been flying this week about what exactly prompted the studio to bump Rachelle Lefevre off the production and replace her with Bryce at the last min for the role of the villainous Victoria. Rachelle claims it's the studio's fault for not allowing her 10 days off to finish filming another role (eyes roll), while the studio fired back with a statement that Rachelle knew well in advance what the time commitment was for the final Twilight installment and purposely didn't inform them of her conflicting filming schedule. I don't know, I know Hollywood bigwigs like to twist stories in their favor, but would your boss give you 10 days off to work another gig? I think not! Readers weigh in - do you think the studio was in the wrong to replace Rachelle so hastily?
