Crimson Peak : Mia Wasikowska hair

Every scene she has exactly the same hair style which was stunning . The hair was perfectly straight piled on her head. then when the hair is down ready for sleep, it has changed it's texture to tight curls. Does not make sense.

With everything in this film to focus on, the good and the bad, her hair was what you chose?

Yes,I'm a designer in the Industry. Those things I notice. The film is stunning .

He hair was to die for and the movie was stunning .. I just watched it and I can't wait to watch it again .. but of course the second time could never equal the first .

"A man that wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough".

It was pretty hard NOT to focus on it, especially when it was loose. The wig looked ridiculously fake and it was distracting every time she was on screen, which is unfortunate since she's in virtually every scene of the movie.

Her hair actually really bothered me. If looked like cupcake frosting.

Same.
Her puffy sleeves also bothered me and I wondered whether she was dressed a little ridiculously on purpose since no other character was. Most were dressed appropriately for the era.
On second viewing her sleeves reminded me of a butterfly, especially when they were transparent and I now wonder if the hair is supposed to be something along the same lines.

Hah, I am a man who does not work in the industry, and I kept noticing her hair and costumes and not in a positive way (my wife hated them and she loves period fashion in general). Her collars and way overly dramatic puffy sleeves looked Elizabethan-like not appropriate for 1901 and later. I kept thinking of Anne of Green Gables talking about how she wanted puffy sleeves even Anne would have hated those ridiculous sleeves.

"Hearts and kidneys are tinker toys! I am talking about the central nervous system!"

I'm guessing it's taken you a while to pick up on the "butterfly vs. moth" theme? Edith = butterfly, Hiddleston and Chastain = the moths. They were dressed that way intentionally to reflect that.

"I'm sorry, but.." is a self-contained lie.

Kind of missed the mark for Victorian Leg-0f-mutton sleeves.

I think ladies got that crimpy hair look when they braided their long hair so it wouldn't tangle during sleep. However, as you point out, her hair was perfectly straight and sleek with the updo.

I personally preferred her hair when it was tightly wound up. It gave her a strong, confident image and she looked very beautiful and refined.
Her hair seemed unnaturally puffy when it was down and combine that with her sleeping clothes, she looked sort of like an odd child. I do know that was the point (make her appear vulnerable among the harsher setting), but I really wish her final appearance was as that strong image from the beginning.

I was very distracted by Edith's "down" hair. Good grief, that wig looked like it was fashioned with about 30 pounds of hair.

The same amount of hair, styled into the "up" wig would have made a giant papoose on the back of her head, tipping her over backwards.

Otherwise, I thought the visuals in this movie were incredibly luxurious and rich.


P.S>I was shocked to read in the trivia section they actually built that entire house. Yikes, no wonder movie budgets run into the bazillions these days.

Yes cupcake frosting describes it perfectly!!

Stunning both ways. The movie isn't realism - more fairy tale/fetishistic - a gothic dream. Edith's hair wasn't tight curls, more long and wavy.

The second picture with the hair down is nothing like it was in the film.In the film it more Pre-Raphaelite. That sort of texture would never be able to be so straight an smooth.

You're splitting hairs.

Very funny.

Her wardrobe was indeed intentionally designed to look like a butterfly. It draws parallels with the black moths devouring the Golden butterfly in the early Park scene. Jessica Chastain is mostly dressed in black outfits covered in a moth motifs to showcase that she is the black moth in human form.

i loved her hair at night, it was very iconic. it reminded me of horror comics from the past.
her nightgown look could have very easily been a cover for a horror graphic novel. i absolutely loved it

Her dresses were purposefully designed to be like a butterfly as was the tight hair making her look strong and loose hair making her look vulnerable. Also, it's very yellow to suggest she's the canary in the coal mine sort of thing. If you watch throughout the film her clothing declines with her, as she becomes weaker her clothes become looser, thinner and more delicate. I'm no expert in fashion of the period but I thought it all looked wonderful, it's worth remembering too that although this was victorian times Edith and her clothing came from America and so style would have been very different I suppose. It's also suggested that the clothing of Thomas and Lucille was very expensive and handmade but also worn and old and so wouldn't necessarily have been up to date with fashion.

The clothes throughout the film are not strictly authentic, there more of a hyper-stylized, dreamlike take on victorian fashion. Edith, in particular, has a strong look of something out of a fairy tale. I thought the clothing and hair styles were very much connected to victorian archetypes. The scene between Edith and Lucile, in Lucille's bedroom, is very beautiful - the design of the set, colors, etc. With her hair down and that high lacy collar, Edith looks pure pre-Raphaelite. Here's The Bridesmaid by Millais - check out the hair, even the way she lifts her jaw is reminiscent of Edith in that bedroom scene.

For me, what was subtly amazing was that Mia/Edith is seen at the beginning wearing these colorful pristine outfits, hair up, and those dainty eyeglasses. Then at the end, she's in nothing but a ragged white nightgown with her hair flopping all over, wielding a knife.

Just one of those little things that made CP so enjoyable.


You four-eyed psycho.

Yeah, it's a great contrast between the New World (Buffalo) and the Old World (Allderdale Hall).

Thank. You. This bothered me to no end.

Her hair didn't bother me half as much as her face. Either the lighting director was a novice or Ms. Wasikowska has a heavy substance abuse problem. Her face seemed mottled.

Whatever happened to sweet little Sophie?

More like sublime.

Back then it was common to sleep in a braid- and to straighten the hair to put it up. Makes total sense.

She never once had tight curls though.
