Winona Ryder, 40 years old, wears all-black in Venice: lovely & nostalgic?

These are some new photos of Winona Ryder in Venice. She’s in town for the film festival, to promote her new film, The Iceman, with Ray Liotta and Michael Shannon. Incidentally, both Ray and Michael are considered to be “scary” character actors who normally play psychos and crazies… but I would hit it with both of them. I love Ray Liotta so, so much, and Michael Shannon is one of my most secret dirty-crushes. I would go to bed with either of them. Or both. AT THE SAME TIME.

Winona wore black for both the day photo call and the evening red carpet premiere. Winona wore a short, vintage LBD for the photo call, and she wore a long Dolce & Gabbana gown for the premiere. I like both looks, honestly. I can remember a time when Winona was The It Girl and she was the top, top Fashion Girl and everyone wanted to wear what Winona was wearing and look just like Winona. But that time has passed, and you can tell that she still loves fashion, but she’s 40 years old (VAMPIRE!!!) and she doesn’t need to be wearing the “latest style” at this point. She knows what looks good on her (for the most part), and she looks classic and pretty. The Dolce gown isn’t spectacular or anything… but it’s not a failure either.

I do think Winona looks very uncomfortable, though. In most of the photo call pics where she’s standing alone, her eyes look kind of crazy, like she’s a cornered animal. It’s been a while for her… hopefully, she’ll get the hang of it.
