I have high hopes for Moana 2 — I absolutely believe his work in Moana to be the Rock’s best work, for real — although Moana is wonderful and will be tough to top. If nothing else, star Auli’i Cravalho is starting off on the right foot; this top look, from Oscar de la Renta, is absolutely perfect on her. It is SO swoony.
She also gave a really interesting interview to Vogue in which she said, “showcasing Hawaiian and Pacific Island designers was a must for this press tour…I wanted to celebrate Pacific artistry every step of the way—from my nail artist, Ashley Dieron-Baginski, to the jewelry by Lahaʻole designs.” To that end, check out what she wore to the Hawaiian premiere over the weekend:
Of this look, she told Vogue:
“I had a very particular idea of spotlighting pearl whitesea shells, for our Hawai’i premiere look,” says Cravalho. “We presented this challenge to Afa Ah Loo, who cleverly strung individual white Dovetail shells into a cape-like shape reminiscent of Hawaiian red coat—a feather cloak worn by ancient Hawaiian royalty.”
I think this is so cool; I can’t wait to see the rest of this tour.
