This is like whimsical kitchen cafe curtains on HGH. ## Tilda Swinton, 2002 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-2325030_master.jpg) I love anyone who loves a matching lining. ## Tilda Swinton, 2002 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/FFN_ADAPTATION_32_120302jpg_70991.jpg) This is an exceptional effort. Who hasn't thought, "what will enliven this suit? I KNOW. A bouquet bursting forth from my bosom!" ## Tilda Swinton, 2002 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-1544577_master.jpg) This is delicious and also it might be pants? It fits perfectly in SWINTON's Unconventional But Glamorous Alien Weirdo aesthetic. ## Tilda Swinton, 2003 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-2572609_master.jpg) This is patriotic! Drag it out come November 8th, Swinton! ## Tilda Swinton, 2004 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-50888043_master.jpg) She actually looks amazing in this, I think -- the bomber jacket is also very current. So mark this as something else she could drag out if she wants to. ## Tilda Swinton, 2004 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-50884025_master.jpg) She was into these shoes in 2004, apparently! ## Tilda Swinton, 2005 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-56305830_master.jpg) This is a brief and unexpected foray into the oatmeal shades. ## Tilda Swinton, 2006 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/42321_71421159.jpg) Presenting SWINTON'S *Ode to Ode on a Grecian Urn*. ## George Clooney and Tilda Swinton, 2007 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-76439441_master.jpg) And we've entered the *Michael Clayton* portion of history, in which Clooney appears, primarily, to be delighted to be in Swinton's orbit, as well should he be. Their collaboration worked out well for her, given that she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for that role. (I always like to look back at who else was nominated in any given year, and she beat Cate Blanchett for *I'm Not There*, Ruby Dee for *American Gangster*, Saoirse Ronan for *Antonement*, and Amy Ryan in *Gone Baby Gone*; this was the year at Blanchett was ALSO nominated for Best Actress for *Elizabeth: The Golden Age*, which she lost to Marion Cotillard. Clooney himself lost to Daniel Day-Lewis in *There Will Be Blood*, which seems right. [That was a sort of weak year, looking back at it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80th%5FAcademy%5FAwards?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#Awards).) ## George Clooney and Tilda Swinton, 2007 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-76475641_master.jpg) In which Cloons seems -- rightly -- transfixed by her print and her sunglasses. ## Tilda Swinton, 2007 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/49831_74268019.jpg) I want to tape this up inside my locker. She looks so cool in this. ## Tilda Swinton, 2007 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/49831_74262148.jpg) Somewhere in Heaven, David Bowie is nodding proudly. ## Tilda Swinton, 2007 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-74208638_master.jpg) Somewhere on earth, I wonder where I can get one of these for myself. ## Tilda Swinton, 2007 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-76412721_master.jpg) This feels very traditional for La Swinton. That's not a bad thing, just a surprise. ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-82572698_master.jpg) This is when I remembered that Swinton was also in *The Curious Case of Benjamin Button* with Brad here. Or, as I like to call it, *Jesus Christ When Are We Going to Get To The Part Where Brad Pitt Is Hot Already?* (This is at the Venice Film Festival, and Clooney is there because this is actually a screening for *Burn After Reading*, which the three of them are in together.) ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/30001_80998050.jpg) This is at the Met Gala, and that year the theme was "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy," and I think we can all agree that she could have done WAY MORE WITH THAT. ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-79008228_master.jpg) These shoes have my heart. ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-79680575_master.jpg) This is beautiful and unsettling, a combination that seems just about perfect for her. ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/57931_79968940-419x631.jpg) Swinton was wearing one sleeve before one sleeve was cool. (This is at the Oscars, the year she won.) ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/64761_burn_reading_venice_25_wenn2044313-419x630.jpg) That's some stellar shoe/suit coordination work, ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-79693201_master.jpg) FABULOUS. ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-79696619_master.jpg) Fabulous squared. ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-83959281_master.jpg) This is elegant and memorable, in the sense that when I saw it again I thought, "OH, I remember this one!" ## Tilda Swinton, 2008 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-83593700_master.jpg) I am all Heart Eyes Emojis over this, from the lip to the print. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/70081_84659395-419x629.jpg) On the other hand, this one is a musty tragedy best left to the dusts of time. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/70321_84726955-419x636.jpg) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/71161_85151565-419x816.jpg) I wish I hadn't blown my "!!!!!!!" already, because that encapsulates my feelings here as well. The pattern! The beading! The fact that she might be worshiping this *objet*. I applaud! ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-90499969_master.jpg) Everyone DOES look hotter in sunglasses. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/GettyImages-84983666_master.jpg) Swinton does not lack a bracelet. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/73292_wenn5286302-419x785.jpg) Don't scoff. It's useful to have a travel pillow built in to your dress. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/77811_90412734-419x688.jpg) I'm sure I hated this at the time, but I love it now. It's so Quirky Elegant Woman of a Certain Age in a Position of Power at a Major Metropolitan Art Museum. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/77811_90427147-419x619.jpg) Same. ## Tilda Swinton, 2009 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/77811_90424849-419x630.jpg) This is actually a sculpture of the creature Swinton transforms into, come the full moon. ## Tilda Swinton, 2010 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/84561_wenn5428434-419x631.jpg) This has a bare back and the one sleeve is -- yet again! -- a little goofy, but it's also super sexy and that color is fantastic on her. ## Tilda Swinton, 2010 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/90041_spl188590_003-419x838.jpg) I was more into this when I thought the landscaping form behind her was part of her hair. ## Tilda Swinton, 2011 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/tildaswinton_108079815-510x824.jpg) Two great tastes! ## Tilda Swinton, 2011 ![Tilda Swinton Fashion Retrospective](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/10/tildaswintonwenn3206593-419x672.jpg) The front of this is normal.
