A little sparkle here a little sparkle there...

A new movie to release on August 17,2012 is the remake of the original movie "Sparkle". Some cast members include Tika Sumpter, Carmen Ejogo, as the sisters, american idol winner Jordin Sparks playing the lead role of Sparkle and the diva herself Whitney Houston playing the mother.

The movie is based in the 1950's and portray the classic silhouettes of that time period. In the 2006 movie "Dreamgirls" played by academy award winner Jennifer Hudson, Anika Noni Rose, and Beyonce Knowles, prom dresses and pageant wear where inspired by the 1960-1975 based film.

This time around, I believe that Hollywood will be inspired by the 1950's then trickle down to prom dresses and evening wear.
