Jaden, Trey, Willow, Jada and Will Smith at the Premiere of the Karate Kid Remake

In 1984, Producer Jerry Weintraub made a movie about the underdog and it became a huge hit, with kids leaving the first screening of it practicing that infamous crane kick used in the final fight and dressing up like Ralph Macchio’s character Daniel LaRusso. Will Smith must have been one of those fans, because he and his production company Overbrook Entertainment partnered with Weintraub to update the 80′s franchise, Karate Kid, and this time around Smith brought his own 12-year-old son Jaden to take on the lead role. The entire Smith family came out in support, not only are they all incredibly talented ( 9-year-old Willow sings and acts, Trey plays sports), they all show their own unique style with their fashion choices.

Jada Pinkett-Smith shows off her kids while her leather bronze Rafael Cennamo dress from the Fall 2010 collection shows off her body, paired with matching bronze Pierre Hardy platform sandals, the same shoes we saw Leighton Meester wear earlier this year. Daughter Jaden aleady is stepping into her own rockstar, embracing Rhianna inspired hair and paying homage to the 80′s with every animal print out there. Star of the film Jaden, clearly brought out a Michael Jackson Thriller type jacket, reminding us of the times of the original Karate Kid premiere some 26 years ago. Its great to see parents allowing their kids to have fun dressing up while also showing respect for the 80′s!

Ralph & Jaden, Original Karate Kid Meets New Generation

Original Karate Kid Macchio, now 48, seems to have hardly aged since playing the role that made him a household name around the globe, at 22 years old. He posed for photos with Jaden and seemed proud to pass the “wax on, wax off” torch to the new generation.

Jaden Smith & Jackie Chan

Mr. Myagi, a role originally next to impossible for the producers to cast, was played by Noriyuki (Pat) Morita, and he won an Oscar for his performance, but sadly passed away before he could see this remake. Jackie Chan, who some were suprised to see playing a role as serious as this one, was quoted saying he was terrified to play such an iconic role, but we think he handled it with perfect style and grace.

Be sure to check out this remake, it will play on your heartstrings and show you style from across the world.

Hugh Hefner; Playboy, Activist & Rebel Movie Poster

Hugh Hefner, known of course as the famous founder of Playboy – is also a rebellious activist, a little known fact that Oscar-winning™ producer/director Brigitte Berman brings to light in her feature documentary, titled “HUGH HEFNER: PLAYBOY, ACTIVIST AND REBEL”.  The film tells the story of the flamboyant, outspoken founder of the Playboy empire and the fierce battles with nearly all levels of the U.S. government, the religious right, and militant feminists. Think less bunnies, less nudity and more politics.

Hefner launched Playboy in 1953, achieving instant notoriety and astounding success for the magazine, the nude centerfold of Marilyn Monroe naturally helped.  Hefner began to become the most outspoken leader of the sexual revolution and/or liberation, in his own Playboy Style. Almost immediately, his brand and his voice, outraged forces of Church and State, who launched a war againist him, which is still going on today.

Known as hedonist, leading a controversial lifestyle, some said he exploited women, regardless, he became a true catalyst for progressive change in social groups, starting in Chicago, on an assortment of social and political issues including not just sexual freedom, but censorship, First Amendment rights, abortion rights, and social justice. Check out the official trailer below:

After Berman attended Hefner’s 80th birthday party at his infamous Mansion in April 2006, she decided the otherside of Hefner, Berman said in an interview, “was fascinating because as much as he had become a legendary lover of countless women – there was a more intersting side to him, the publisher of a groundbreaking magazine, who is also a social activist at the forefront of countless progressive causes – a man who took great risks in breaking the colour line in his Playboy clubs and TV shows, who defied the blacklist in the McCarthy Fifties decade, fought antiquated and absurd sex laws that regulated private conduct in the nation’s bedrooms, provided legal teams to fight anti-abortion laws that eventually led to Roe vs Wade, and campaigned against censorship and for the individual’s right to freedom of expression on all fronts. For me, this film has it all – sex, glamour, politics, romance, tragedy, and conflicts – and many great surprises about a man people think they know, but don’t really know”.

Berman was granted unprecedented access to his vast archives and allowed her to have complete creative control, something he had never done in his life for anyone.  Interesting for a man who is known for being proud of his enemies including Presidents Nixon and Reagan, FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover, Rev. Jerry Falwell, Don Wildmon, Gloria Steinem and Susan Brownmiller.

The highlights in the film include battles he fought from being arrested for obscenity, having been branded a pornographer by Reagan’s Meese Commission, the boycott of his magazine he endured, FBI surveillance and having been set up on drug charge, which he proved to have been fabricated.  Hefner has won every single legal battle he has ever fought, while continuing with his legendary lifestyle.

Participants in the film are essentially a “Who’s Who”  of the decades Playboy has been around, the list is extraordinary and brings insight into the mind of someone who has been called everything from a Genius to a Pedophile.  Regardless of what you think of him, there is no doubt that his personal style and vision has made an impact in media, and it turns out also in controversial social issues that may come to a surprise to many.

The film debuted at the 2009 Toronto Film Festival and opened July 30, 2010 nationally.

Actress Aisha Tyler was dressed in white, goddess like, shoes and pants by HUGO BOSS, and white bracelet is Lia Sophia. She also added how she fits in at the “nerd-fest,” claiming to have been known as a geek growing up who loved playing video games. We find it hard to imagine this chic girl being anything of a geek!

“Tron Legacy” lead actor Garrett Hedlund gave Style Seen Daily and The Hollywood Reporter an exclusive interview during Comi-Con International 2010 in San Diego, CA.  You may remember Garret from the film “Troy,” which he can thank Brad Pitt for having handpicked him for the role.

Tron Legacy is a 3D science fiction Disney film by director Joseph Kosinski and also includes Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen. It is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron.

Garrett wears a super tight glowing suit throughout the movie.  He told us that they had to cyber scan his body to make the black outfit, which he said is “tights as hell,” and covered in lights.   The cyber scan creates a suit out of every curve and any definition you have on your body.  He revealed to us that when he would sweat sometimes the lights on his outfit would give him “a buzz.”  Oh oh.

Garrett poses with Tron models at Comicon 2010.

Synopsis:  TRON is a 3D high—tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech—savvy 27—year—old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life—and—death journey across a visually—stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

The Cannes Film Festival is an epic event for the film industry, and equally as riveting and infamous for its daring style scene. Celebrities and fans alike flock to the French Riviera to get a glimpse of the hottest new flicks and to take in the catwalk on the streets. This year was no different; from over-the-top evening glamour, to casual beach babe, to daytime debonair – the looks were hot and on-trend. We took some pictures to bring a little slice of style home. Here’s five of our favorite dresses, and where to snap up one of your own:

It’s looking more and more like Sex And The City 2 will be getting underway soon.

All four of our favorite ladies, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon have reportedly closed their deals with New Line, paving the way for our obsession with these ladies, and their fashions, to continue.  

Hollywood Reporter reports that writer-director Michael Patrick King has also closed his deal with the studio and that there will be definite surprises in the sequel. Hmmmm….  perhaps they take a cue from Parker’s real life and throw a kink into the married happily ever after situation.  

We here at SSD are excited to see the ladies reunite again and what Academy Award winning costume designer and fashion guru Patricia Fields has in store for us next.

The original movie made $400 million worldwide last year, not to mention it undoutedly helped the sales of such items as tutos, feather headbands…oh and ofcourse manolo blahniks. 

Take a look at just a few of the Sex And The City fashion looks below.
