Savages

A new month means a new round of pop culture goodies to get stuck into! Yes, I know we're already a few days into October, but I still put the call out to the Sugar editors to find out what they'll be watching, listening to and reading this month. From associate editor Gen's double dose of Blake Lively, to BellaSugar editor Alison's excitement at the return of Beauty and the Geek (she especially can't wait for the makeover episode), check out what's on our radar this month.

If crime dramas and thrillers are your cup of tea, you’re in luck, because this month there’s a whole bunch of them released in cinemas, including Savages, Lawless and Killing Them Softly — the latter two were also big hits at the Cannes Film Festival. Then there’s the Aussie flick Mental, which isn’t meant to be a sequel to Muriel’s Wedding, but you know you’ll be in line to see it if you loved the 1994 Aussie classic. Also in the mix is the latest Paranormal Activity instalment, a sweet French film and the much-anticipated Taken 2. Which movies will you be watching in October?

Blake Lively continued her busy press tour for Savages (out Sep. 27) at the movie’s NYC premiere today. The gorgeous blonde, stunning in a striking yellow Gucci gown, had the company of her co-stars Taylor Kitsch, John Travolta and director Oliver Stone, while other stars who supported the screening included Girls actress Zosia Mamet, model Tyson Beckford, Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas, and Christopher Meloni. On top of photo calls and red carpets, Blake has been making the talk show rounds, appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman and Good Morning America. On the latter program, Blake talked about hanging out with Salma Hayek and the cast on set, saying, “I’m close with my family, so we would have dance parties and cook and [Salma’s] mum would bring tamales.”

If we're being totally honest, then we're probably just as excited to see Blake Lively's premiere looks for Oliver Stone's Savages as we are to see the movie itself — and with a glimpse at Blake's first promotional looks, it's not hard to see why. First the actress gave us a full-on bombshell moment in a curve-hugging Zuhair Murad gown and Veronica Lake-style glamazon waves for Tuesday night's LA screening. Now she's furthering her leading-lady status — first, with two ultra-chic versions of the LWD for her appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman yesterday, and most recently her red-hot Michael Kors suit for Good Morning America. The latest is a summery, sunny-yellow Gucci maxi dress that Blake selected for the film's NYC premiere, which she complemented with a pair of gorgeous turquoise earrings. Keep in mind, this style tour is just beginning. Click on to see Blake's up-to-the-minute Savages premiere looks.
