Brie Larson defends reaction to Casey Affleck’s Oscar
Actress Brie Larson and actor Casey Afflecks
Los Angeles - ArabToday
Actress Brie Larson has defended her muted reaction to actor Casey Afflecks Best Actor win at the 89th Academy Awards last month.
Larson handed Affleck the trophy on stage and her body language caught the attention of many, as she didn’t clap while the crowd gave the Manchester by the Sea star a standing ovation.
Speculation emerged that Larson’s reaction to his win was a sign of solidarity with the two women who accused Affleck of sexually harassing them during the filming of I’m Still Here in 2010.
Larson, an activist for sexual assault survivors, stood quietly while Affleck took the stage.
“I think that whatever it was that I did onstage kind of spoke for itself. I’ve said all that I need to say about that topic,” Larson said at the premiere of Kong: Skull Island earlier this week.
At the Oscars, Larson won the award for Best Actress for her role of a sexual assault victim in the drama Room.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
