Margaret Thatcher's policies may have divided opinion, but there’s no doubting that her signature style made her a fashion icon. The former UK Prime Minister died earlier this week, leaving behind an impressive fashion legacy. As a woman in the male-dominated world of politics, the first and only female Prime Minister in the UK cultivated a personal style that was suitably formal yet unmistakably feminine. In the early years of her political career during the 1970s, the pussybow blouse became her style staple, as did prim and proper pearls, decorative pins and perfectly-coiffed hair (not forgetting her trademark Asprey handbag). As her power increased, the look became sharper, with skirt suits forming the basis of her 1980s wardrobe, in every shade of Conservative blue imaginable. Even as she aged and her health deteriorated, Thatcher’s commitment to style remained as pictures of her on her 87th birthday – in a lilac coat and dress, complete with a pear...

New York: Producer Jon Landau has revealed that unlike James Cameron's first 'Avatar' that was shot largely on a green screen performance-capture stage, parts two and three will be shot partially underwater. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 52-year-old said at the NAB Technology Summit on Cinema that they have kept a team of digital artists from the first film, in order to test how they can create performance capture underwater. Landau told the New York Daily News that though they could simulate water in computer graphics, they can't simulate the actor's experience, so they are going to capture performance in a tank. He said that they wanted to take advantage of the technology that people are putting out there to make the next two movies more engaging and visually tantalizing, and wrap up the story arc of the two main characters. The Academy Award winner added that they are trying to stay as current as possible with the digital technology.

  Ranbir Kapoor wants to play the baddie, but the star of movies like “Rockstar” and “Barfi!” says no director is ready to accept him in such a role. “I would love to play a negative role, something that is like an anti-hero. Something without guitars, rose and without a heroine. I have been asking this for quite a long time, and I hope the directors are hearing me out and come out with scripts like that,” the 30-year-old told IANS. “I think the time when films like ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and ‘Lagaan’ came into being, that was the period when we noticed the slight switch in storytelling. I think cinema has kind of evolved after that. Also, I think every hero was playing the same character over three to four years in the past, but right now there is so much diversity in characters,” said the young hearthrob from Bollywood’s famous Kapoor family. “There are so many challenging roles now. There are more stories to tell. Back then, there were more society problems (in...
