I am Loki, of Asgard, and I am burdened with glorious socks.
A comprehensive look at Tom Hiddleston, his events, his work, and his outfits...and the occasional fundraiser.
Tom Hiddleston caught the opening night of previews for Peter and Alice and attended the after party at the National Gallery Cafe in London following the show.
Tom with John Macmillan. They both starred with Judi Dench in the short film, Friend Request Pending.
The play is based on a meeting between Alice Liddell Hargreaves, the woman who inspired Alice, and Peter Llewellyn Davies, one of the boys who inspired Peter Pan, at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932. The play sees enchantment and reality collide as this brief encounter lays bare the lives of these two characters. The production was directed by Michael Grandage and was performed by Judi Dench as Alice and Ben Whishaw as Peter.
full cast of Peter and Alice: Nicholas Farrell (Lewis Carroll), Derek Riddell (James Barrie), Olly Alexander (Peter Pan), Judi Dench (Alice Liddell Hargreaves), Ruby Bentall (Alice in Wonderland), Ben Whishaw (Peter Llewelyn Davies), Stefano Braschi (Arhtur Davies).
Fashion:
Tom was wearing a three-piece Armani suit that he previously wore to the BIFA Awards in December 2012.
He was also carrying a Twelve South BookBook cover which is available for iphones, iPads, and Macbooks.
The Cinema Society with Hestia and St-Germain hosted a screening of I Saw the Light at the Metrograph in New York City. Tom Hiddleston, director Marc Abraham, and Sony Pictures Classics Co-President Tom Bernard all made the voyage to NYC from the LA premiere. They were also joined by Wrenn Schmidt and the other Co-President of Sony Pictures Classics, Michael Barker.
Perhaps they were trying to re-enact the waltz scene from Crimson Peak?
Tom talk to Arthur Kade about the legacy of Hank Williams:
"It's extraordinary what he achieved in such a sort space of time. He lived at such a pitch of intensity and changed the face of American music. I think he's one of those artists who had the courage to stand at the edge of the cliff, as it were, and look over, and not be frightened of the fall. And I think the power of his songs are about that. He's just living on the edge of life which made him so charismatic and I think people could smell the rebellion in his songs. And that's why he was one of the greats."
There was a star-studded guest list that included Matthew Broderick, Jazmin Grimaldi, John Corbett, Peter Facinelli, Carson Kressley, and Alan Cumming.
Alan revealed that he and Tom were old friends, and that he came to the premiere to support him.
Six years before Tom Hiddleston donned the Loki horns, Alan Cumming played the God of Mischief in The Son of the Mask. I wonder if Tom hit up his friend for some Loki inspo?
The after-party was held on the picturesque rooftop bar of the Jimmy at the James Hotel.
Fashion:
I think even the Queer Eye guy would approve of Tom Hiddleston's charcoal three-piece suit from Ralph Lauren.
The Whitechapel Gallery held their annual fundraising party in partnership with TOD's. The party celebrated the fusion of art and drama featuring star performers. These included Tom Hiddleston, Claire Foy, Ashley Walters, Jonathan Pryce, and more who performed scripts written by contemporary artists. The TOD's Art Plus Drama Party raised £225,000 for Whitechapel Gallery's Education and Community programme.
