Are Benedict Cumberbatch & Sophie Hunter pregnant again?

FFN_Stars_London_FFUK_EXC_051216_52052986

Hey, remember when I correctly deduced that Sophie Hunter was pregnant days before media outlets got the confirmation? Let’s try it again! Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter(batch) stepped out in London on Thursday night. The Daily Mail called it a “romantic date night” by way of attending Adison e Salvini, an opera performed at the Barbican. And I kind of think Sophie looks pregnant again! Actually, it’s not that she has a bump or anything (which is how I spotted the first pregnancy), it’s just that I don’t understand how a non-pregnant woman would wear this unflattering tent dress and those fug orthopedic-looking shoes. Sophie Hunter has a womb of secrets, mark my words. Plus, I’ve always sort of thought that Benedict and Sophie would try for a second child, just because they probably see themselves as “an heir and a spare” kinds of people.

Meanwhile, I have two vaguely Cumberbatch-related stories. First up: are you guys familiar with Rufus Wainwright? I love his voice! And he seems like a good guy. Well, Wainwright has met Benedict and Wainwright is still trying to figure out if Benedict is good-looking. He said:

“I’ve hung out with Benedict a couple of times. He’s . . . he’s quite the figure. The most amazing thing is, I can’t tell if he’s gorgeous or incredibly ugly. It’s a weird combination. At certain angles he looks like my aunt, and then at certain angles he looks the man who’s going to ruin my marriage.”

[From Daily Mail]

This is just your friendly reminder that sometimes men can have that “jolie-laide” quality too. I actually agree with Wainwright – sometimes Benedict looks positively roguish, and like he’s sex on legs. Then other times I’m like, “That chin though….”

And the final Cumber-adjacent story: Damian Lewis says Benedict can’t be in The Ginger Club. Benedict has always insisted that his natural hair is auburn, but Damian wants people to know that FOR SURE Benedict is not a ginger. Neither is Tom Hiddleston. And Eddie Redmayne.

    ‘it’s just that I don’t understand how a non-pregnant woman would wear this unflattering tent dress and those fug orthopedic-looking shoes.’

    but she always dresses horribly, if we’re going by her outfits she’d be pregnant all the time.

    • Anett says:

      I agree.

    • kai says:

      I hate this expectation that women HAVE to show their figures. I really, really hate it. I also really, really hate her shoes.

      • Rach says:

        I love this dress! I think she looks very elegant but yeah I don’t particularly like the shoes. But again, that’s my opinion.

      • Scarlet Vixen says:

        @Kai: Thankyou! Why do we expect celebrities to wear skin tight clothes all the time? I certainly don’t want to wear body con dresses all the time–especially when it’s warm. I love Sophie’s dress. It looks chic but super comfy, and I’d wear it on a heartbeat. With different shoes. I HATE those shoes.

      • ell says:

        not at all, there are plenty of tight outfits i find tacky and horrible, for instance most of the stuff matt damon’s wife wears at events.

      • Cranberry says:

        +1
        Hallelujah.

        Not saying that this dress works for her, maybe it’s the shoes, but I love it when women show how good, non-form fitting fashion can be chic and attractive if you know how to wear it. Mostly it’s about the cut & fit, posture and attitude.
        Oh, and the right shoes, sorry Sophie.

      • Taxi says:

        This is better than Amal’s up-the-crotch minis.

      • Trashaddict says:

        I like it, too. I like the fabric and the sheen. And it looks very comfortable!
        Comfort becomes a little more important if you’re not 20-something and you’re chasing after a toddler.

    • seesittellsit says:

      This – her taste is heinous most of the time, this looks to me like something very typical of her view of herself and “arty” dressing. That said, given that she’s pushing 40 and the first is just about one year old, it wouldn’t be surprising if they were PG again. I do hope so: I can’t wait to see the fury and despair on the skeptic blogs predicting imminent collapse of the relationship and the “truth” coming out any – moment – now. Instead, they’re going to have to figure out how to persuade themselves of not just one, but two fake pregnancies and nonexistent offspring. Can’t wait.

    • what's inside says:

      Preach sista — that get-up is straight-up ugly.

  2. leigh says:

    Horrible dress. Horrible necklace. Was it hot in London last week? They both look really sweaty.

  3. Locke Lamora says:

    Did we think all these men were ginger?

  4. Insomniac says:

    Jolie-laide is the perfect way to describe Cumby, and I like him. Wainwright’s comments made me snort my coffee.

  5. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Those shoes are criminal.

    • Erinn says:

      I feel like I had a pair of those when I was a kid in the ’90s.

      • Aussie girl says:

        Yes! I had a pair in the 90’s.

      • SloaneY says:

        We all did.

      • SusanneToo says:

        I still have several pairs. I wear them with shorts. They’re very comfortable.

      • Luca76 says:

        Yes my gran always said everything comes back in fashion but I’m always shocked to see what in fact comes back.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        They would be cute with shorts. But with that dress, no.

      • Cranberry says:

        Can’t say what they’d look good with, but they’re way too chunky and black to wear with a big, flag tent of a dress that also has huge, quadrants of black all over.

    • What was that says:

      There are a lot of these styles around in the UK at the moment…she may just be trying to be eclectic and arty..
      I wear Birki’s ..out of work…..but I just need comfort and I cannot get my feet into beautiful shoes anymore..sob..sob..

    • Mel M says:

      Agreed, and I loathe all things ninties. I cringe at everyone of my photos growing up in that era. Her hair, the feathered bangs, is giving me early 80’s vibes.

    • NUTBALLS says:

      I had a pair in the ’90’s. The shoes and the necklace doesn’t work with the dress.

      I liked the dress though. If I wanted a comfortable dress with no restrictions, I wear something like that.

      I presumed now that Baby Batch is about to turn one, she’d be getting on the stick for #2. Wouldn’t surprise me if she’s preggers.

    • Trashaddict says:

      Maybe she doesn’t have teeny tiny feet or maybe she doesn’t feel like breaking her damn toes for the sake of fashion. Snark much?

  6. Sixer says:

    No! Let’s start a rumour that Benny and Strange Dress Lady are trying for another bouncer but it won’t happen because he doesn’t turn up for the necessary practice. I know this to be true because I work in the industry (and Tumblr said so). Or something.

    • Erinn says:

      ahahaha I love this post, Sixer.

    • Lilacflowers says:

      My experience in the industry taught me that he can only practice when wearing motion capture pajamas and her ugly dresses are performance art pieces.

    • Sixer says:

      I quite like her dresses. It’s like she’s gone ODDLE PODDLE to fashion, with which attitude I heartily concur.

  7. Lilacflowers says:

    ODDLE PODDLE! There. Got it out of the way for Sixer. Bit early for a Comet Sophie but if we must toast another otter-octopus, toast we shall

  8. Tiffany27 says:

    Tom H. isn’t a redhead?

    • Lilacflowers says:

      No. Dirty blond. He did color it red at one point but no, not a redhead.

      • Locke Lamora says:

        He was never even close to a redhead?

      • Sixer says:

        He’s a dirty blond invoking faux ginger because dirty blond privilege. And Benny. And everyone else who isn’t PROPER GINGE.

      • pixie-stix says:

        Tom posted a video on his Twitter account for Unicef with a picture of himself at the tender age of four. Blonde haired cutie-pie with a big smile, gah. 😍

      • Becky says:

        When he grows a beard it does go a bit ginger (see his Henry V look)

      • Locke Lamora says:

        My dad has black hair and a ginger beard, but I wouldn’t call him ginger.

        Redmayne coukd have fooled me. It’s the freckles.

      • lilacflowers says:

        Beards very often come in a different color and can tend towards ginger. All the guys in my family grow red facial hair even if they aren’t redheads.

      • Sixer says:

        Is Toby Jones a ginge or a dirty blond? Cos he’s the next Sherlock villain.

      • Cranberry says:

        He is neither dirty nor truly blond. That puts him in ginger mesh-pot limbo.

    • Lex says:

      Nearly every white guy I know (in Australia) gets a tinge of ginger in their facial hair when they grow it out but the hair on their head is anything but.

      I think it’s just what happens!
      Like your ‘hair colour’ is the hair on top of your head – not your eyebrows, not your armpit hair or any other hair. They can all differ!

  9. Lennox says:

    Am I alone in hating the use of the word pregnant to describe a couple, eg ‘we’re pregnant’. Since when do men get pregnant? Ugh ugh ugh.
    As for this, I think it’s just her horrendous dress sense. She looked preg at the OBE thing and obviously wasn’t.

    • Zapp Brannigan says:

      In fairness he is an alien lizard from Outer Space so he may in fact be pregnant. We don’t know all their ways yet.

      • Sixer says:

        Perhaps he doesn’t even have to turn up and practice in order to conceive. He’s like a seahorse!

      • Zapp Brannigan says:

        Yes a fertile space seahorse, it’s true because tumblr told me so. That and my experience in the space seahorse industry.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        And she really is a comet. My experience as an astrophysicist /astrologer taught me so.

      • Sixer says:

        But can a seahorse land on a comet? ONLY IF IT PRACTISES WHEN IT’S SUPPOSED TO. My experience as a Practice Makes Perfect Outreach Officer (and tumblr) informs this post.

      • NUTBALLS says:

        Bless this thread. Eric Carle’s “Mister Seahorse” is one of my kiddos favorite board books.

        We have no books on comets, though.

      • Sixer says:

        Is Comet Sophie the Very Hungry Caterpillar to Benny’s Mr Seahorse? if you know this, do you know this from your experience in the picture book industry or from tumblr?

      • Lilacflowers says:

        @Sixer, Sophie is The Very Busy Spider and Baby Christopher is The Tiny Seed. I know this from my experience as a library assistant in the children’s research department of the Boston Public Library (I swear!) and from Snapchat

      • NUTBALLS says:

        The Comet had to eat through a whole lotta food to find her Seahorse and sprout her Tiny Seed. I know this from my experience as a Master Interpreter of Preschool Literature.

        But since Today is Monday, this is all I can say until I’ve had another cup of coffee.

    • spidey says:

      My thoughts exactly. I would bet my pension that Ben is not pregnant.

    • kai says:

      You seriously thought she looked pregnant at the CBE thing??? I’m having a ‘fat day’ and you guys are killing me with your standards. Agree about the pregnant-thing, though.

  10. CidySmiley says:

    The title caught my attention “are benedict cumberbatch and sophie hunter pregnant again!” Because that used to annoy me so much when I was pregnant “you guys are pregnant!” No – WE are not pregnant. I am pregnant lol. After two (and now three) tumultuous pregnancies I get so annoyed!

    • Trashaddict says:

      Absolutely. The couples who say that “we” are pregnant must have one partner over-scrutinizing the entire health status of the pregnant partner, and they evolve into helicopter parents.

  11. Carol says:

    I actually like her outfit, and her shoes are ok but certainly with another outfit.

    I always thought Eddie Redmayne was a ginge. But the other two- no way

    • Chicken says:

      I actually love that dress and would wear it in a heartbeat. I like billowy, oversized clothes. I don’t see why it’s not a valid option to form-fitting or bodycon.

  12. SilkyMalice says:

    She has a bump in the first photo.

    • Felice. says:

      You mean that curve all women have? Lmao. If it’s true I’ll apologize.

      • SilkyMalice says:

        If were weren’t an ass, you wouldn’t need to apologize. See how easy that is?

  13. Elisa the I. says:

    I like the dress but the shoes are a big NO.

  14. Becky says:

    I really hope she is pregnant, so those mentally-ill sceptic nutter fans of his can get a life.

    • slh121 says:

      Becky-as much as I agree with you, I’m afraid that another pregnancy would drive at least some of them over the edge. Pictures from the last pregnancy are still showing up in posts on how the whole pregnancy was false and how even the Queen is in on it.
      Re:dress- Sophie has her own style and always has. At least it’s not trashy or super revealing like so many other celebrities.

      • Sixer says:

        I need more information on the Queen being in on it!

      • lilacflowers says:

        @Sixer, tis true. My experience as a royal mind reader told me so. And Tumblr. HRH and Bendy are oh so very close, you know.

      • Meg D says:

        Sixer, when Ben received his CBE or whatever it was, his wife went to the Palace with him and was filmed being all cuddly and giggly with him and at one point pinching his butt. The sceptics at first insisted that she must have gatecrashed the Palace as part of her stalking campaign (literally every time she’s seen anywhere he is, they insist she turned up uninvited). When it was pointed out you can’t just gatecrash a private audience with the Queen but must be invited and security cleared first, they changes it to, the Royal Family are going along with the hoax and fraud that Sophie is somehow blackmailing and bribing the entire world media and entertainment industry into going along with.

      • SloaneY says:

        What did any of what you just said have anything to do with the Queen being in on a fake pregnancy? (Which was the original claim)

    • Insomniac says:

      Ha. If they’re anything like the Robsten is Unbroken types, don’t hold your breath.

    • Becky says:

      SLH, I did think that after I posted. The truly delusional will look for any evidence however illogical to back up their theories. Another babybatch will probably send them over the edge.

      Sixer, queenie was involved so they could fake the marriage and birth certificates dontcha know?

      • Sixer says:

        Oh, that’s FABULOUS. Next thing we know, they’ll be writing PRINCESS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM on all the official documents, just like Chutney Katie.

  15. Naya says:

    I have no comment on her appearance, I am just happy that there are people who still dress exactly as they like, critics be damned. Good for her.

    • Sarah01 says:

      Yes me too. I like the dress. I think he’s handsome what makes him really handsome is the way he talks and in movement. He’s not conventionally good looking.

    • SusanneToo says:

      I’ve never understood why ugly clothes worn by Chloe Sevigny are avant garde fashion while this is considered just ugly. I’ve got no problem with it.

      • SloaneY says:

        I actually don’t mind Sophie’s dress. I would wear it. I would not, however, wear anything that Sevigny has worn. She has the most terrible outfits.

  16. t.fanty says:

    The real point of this thread should be a long-overdue shout-out to Rufus Wainright. His recent work on Shakespeare’s sonnets is perfect.

    • lilacflowers says:

      Hurray, Rufus!

    • tealily says:

      YES. I’ve been scrolling past this story most of the morning because I don’t really care about Cumberbatch and his wife, now I feel a fool because there’s a charming Rufus quote in here. <3 you Rufus!

    • NUTBALLS says:

      I second that. Great concept album.

  17. Rhiley says:

    Jennifer Garner wants to know who the heck makes those shoes. She needs them in her summer closet.

    • platospopcorn says:

      I must be beyond bored to have clicked that link. :-/ Having said that…POCKETS!

  18. Felice. says:

    So do people not realize you don’t totally flat as soon as your first is born? 1) she’s wearing a tent 2) she probably has leftover pooch since she got huge.

    Oh and FYI, that necklace is real ivory. Cumberstans worship a poaching advocate.

    • Kellie says:

      It’s impossible to tell if that’s real ivory. If I had to guess, I’d say plastic since the color is so uniform, but you would have to physically handle it to know for sure.

      And yes, I still have a pooch myself from my son sadly 🙂

      • Felice. says:

        Hmmm. Thought the Mail clarified it was real.

        The pooch symbolizes that you’re a badass for bringing life into this world 😽😽

      • lizabeth says:

        Pretty positive the daily mail was referring to ivory as in the colour.

        “Cumberstans worship a poaching advocate.”

        Umm. OK. Sure…

      • Felice. says:

        Well she’s worn real python shoes so I wouldn’t call her a total saint for the animals.

    • Cate says:

      Also worn fox fur (around coat hood).

  19. InvaderTak says:

    Since Cumby, Hiddles and Lewis are all mentioned in thread anyway, who should be Bond? Idris? A lady? Of redhead and the faux reds I think Lewis. (Surprised we didn’t get a thread about this). Lewis says he’s been begging for it practically.

    • SusanneToo says:

      Please, not Lewis. I find him laide, but not jolie.

    • lilacflowers says:

      Lewis’s wife Helen McCrory should be the next Bond.

      • Meg D says:

        Helen McCrory is seriously badass!

        I wish Naomie Harris was playing Bond or at least a kickass agent, not Moneypenny. That pissed me off so bad.

    • Becky says:

      Actually I wouldn’t mind Lewis, 2nd choice after Idris though. What happened to the rumours about Hardy, or has his unprofessional rep put him out of the running?

      Just to say the Mirror story about Hiddles meeting with Mendes last week is full of holes, SM next project isn’t Bond, and Daniel Craig is still in the role until it’s confirmed otherwise. Also Barbara Broccoli was added as an afterthought.
      Edit, based on IMDb Mendes isn’t credited on the next Bond anyway.

      • Dara says:

        Hardy’s hostility towards over-the-top promotion probably hasn’t done him any favors. Bond is one of the most PR-heavy roles an actor can have and if they go into it with a chip on their shoulder it will not go well. Craig barely managed to handle it all with a minimum of good grace – I think Hardy would burst into flames the first time they asked him to pose holding a Heineken bottle.

      • NUTBALLS says:

        Sixer’s secretly hoping he gets it and showers us with a flood of obnoxiousness. She likes having him all to herself.

      • Sixer says:

        HA. I don’t watch 007 films so it’s no matter to me. Plus, he’d have to wear the ball gag, wouldn’t he? Is that a good look for a super spy? But you’re right: the Bloke is better off in my boudoir, where he is kept suitably restrained and can’t upset anyone. Including me.

      • InvaderTak says:

        If anyone is too “street” it’s Hardy. Good lord, have they seen the man? And I don’t think his reputation helps but Craig doesn’t seem like the most pleasant of fellows either.

      • NUTBALLS says:

        Shameless threadjack…for Sixer–

        Today’s topic: Undercover. I just finished watching last night’s series finale and I’m like “What in the bloody, friggin’ hell was that all about??” So many plot holes. So disappointed.

        ETA: Just read some of the Guardian’s reader comments on the recap post. My favorite was the suggestion that “it’s jumped the shark” would be replaced by “he’s killed the Mayor of Baton Rouge”!

      • Sixer says:

        Nuts – British Twitter was disgusted and I can’t say I blame it. I think there’s a second series or something, which supposedly explains why it was such a disaster. Such a shame and a waste of the talent on show. On the upside, Mr Sixer and I had 6 whole hours of tellyboxing in which both of us had a wishful thinking boyfriend/girlfriend thing going.

      • NUTBALLS says:

        That is a nice bonus. And now you get the last two Marcella episodes tonight and tomorrow, with the Guardian there to explain the complicated plotlines! I’ve gotta dig through my list of recommendations with two of series coming to an end this week.

        Or perhaps get around to watching hours of Hollow Crown sitting in my iPlayer.

    • Dara says:

      I will be sorry to see Craig go – I really enjoyed him as Bond, even if I didn’t like all of the films. I’m hoping he does one more, just so he can go out on a high note – I was so disappointed in Spectre I actually resented giving them my money by the time the credits rolled.

      Part of me thinks Elba, Lewis and Hiddleston are already too well known to take on Bond – Craig really didn’t have that many high-profile film roles on his resume when he said yes to 007.

      I hate to say it, but looking at worst-case scenarios I think all three would be problematic choices. I’d love to see Idris kick ass as Bond, but there is a small yet very vocal group that would lose their prejudiced minds about his casting and make it all about race. If his movie underperforms they would lay the blame squarely at his feet. If Hiddles or Lewis take it on, I think the opposite would happen – there would a vocal outcry about Idris being overlooked, and the headlines would be all about how the posh Eton boys get all the good parts. No one wins in either case.

      Being the next Bond is a big step to take and not without major risks. It worked out well for Craig because Casino Royale was good and he was good in it, but when he was first announced as 007 there was a lot of crap being flung his way. If his first film in the franchise had been a dud, I don’t know that his career could have recovered.

      • InvaderTak says:

        I like your analysis. I haven’t liked any of the new bond movies all that much, TBH. Casino Royal is a classic so that doesn’t count for me. Craig was ok as Bond but he’s no Dalton. So selfishly, I don’t want an actor I like (TH, IE) to take it on because that doesn’t leave a lot of time for projects that I find more interesting and worthy of their talents (fangirl talking there lol). BUT obviously it’s not my career. Elba I think would be great, but would that be the end of Luther? Hiddles would be ok for it but I don’t think he’s right for it even after watching TNM. I think the comparisons to TNM alone would rule him out and I don’t think the Bond people would want someone who has a franchise (or 2? will Kong be a franchise?) already. The bookies’ reaction to the Mirror story was hilarious BTW. Bond 25 not only has no director, but apparently has distribution issues as well. No wonder they haven’t said much about it yet. Wish they’d get it together and announce something already. All the speculation is getting old.
        One fan suggestion I heard was that they should do a female spinoff of Bond with the next film as her intro. I don’t like the idea of Jane Bond because the Bond character has a set personality, skills, position etc. With a separate character in the same universe there’s a potential for something new and *gasp* original but still in the same vein as Bond as a separate franchise.

      • Dara says:

        I confess I’ve only become interested in Bond since Daniel Craig took over. Before him, I think the only film I saw in the theater was the first one with Pierce Brosnan.

        I thought Skyfall was terrific, I had only a few minor quibbles – mostly about Javier Bardem – but after Spectre it’s obvious to me the franchise needs somewhere new to go. I personally would like to see them back off the over-the-top extended stunt sequences and car chases – Bond, Mission Impossible and even Bourne are all starting to blend together.

      • InvaderTak says:

        They all blend in for me as well. Maybe that’s why I find them boring. The Bourne books are far better than any of the movies IMO. Even super hero movies are wearing thin for me these days. I’d like to see a more realistic car chase in a modern movie. Do one like they did in Bullitt; just well made cars and good drivers on real roads without all the destruction. Going to watch that tonight I think…

  20. BendyWindy says:

    It’s funny that this headline came out today. In the story about them the other day I got a feeling and started wondering if she’s pregnant again. No evidence, just a spidey sense.

    Also, I don’t hate the dress, but those shoes. Girl, no.

  21. Catwoman says:

    I think it’s mean to hate on her clothes and shoes. This woman didn’t ask to be thrust into the limelight; she just married the man she loved. Who among us dresses In sartorial perfection every day? Can’t we do better as women to support each other rather than tear each other down?

    • nlikey says:

      Hmm, do you know that she is a socialite and an actress? With plenty of evidence online she is able both to look happy, relaxed and stylish? Exclusively when she’s not around the ‘man she loved’ though.

    • Zapp Brannigan says:

      She was in Vogue in her wedding dress, she wants our attention.

    • Starkiller says:

      Be reasonable, there’s a large gulf between “sartorial perfection” and wearing your duvet out in public.

      • Dingding says:

        Also there is a large gulf between adequate descriptions and acknowledgement of design and overlooking design on purpose for the sake of accepting only current trends in fashion.
        Where do you see yourself?

    • delorb says:

      Post of the day! Thank you. Or at least tear each other a new one for what we say or do. To do so just because of who she married? Nah. I hope she’s pregnant just to see the sceptic heads explode. It’ll probably look like the end of The Kingsmen, but with less anal.

    • lunchcoma says:

      I don’t dislike her the way some do, but I don’t think it’s accurate that the limelight has been entirely forced on her. Initially, she was always going to get attention, but if she’d skipped premieres and all but the biggest award shows, she wouldn’t be so much in the public eye by now. She wants to be his +1 at these things. Nothing wrong with that, but she’s not there under duress by any means.

      • SloaneY says:

        Exactly. Someone like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s wife, who never goes anywhere with him and I think has only been papped a couple of times, wants privacy. This chick is not on that level.

  22. nlikey says:

    I’ve always thought that women of her complexion (tall, slender etc.) could wear just about anything and still look elegant. But Lady Cumberbatch proved me wrong.

    Can we talk about The Hollow Crown? I loved it. Have been off BC for some time now, but he damn near won me back. Really looking forward to next week’s production. Thoughts?

  24. Nancy says:

    Are “they” pregnant? That would be quite a feat now, wouldn’t it. Haven’t met a pregnant man yet, although seen a few who looked like they were.

  25. ohdear says:

    Rufus inspires the same question ; )
    And he has a super fun song called Instant Pleasure on the Big Daddy soundtrack. Love Rufus.

  26. Bethie says:

    Benedict’s natural color really is pretty gingery though.

  27. Lili-85 says:

    OK, Who is next bio father?

  28. Abby says:

    How is Eddie redmayne not a ginger? I coulda sworn. I saw him in an early film (can’t even tell you–he was the son. Maybe the good shepherd?) and I thought he was a redhead…

    I for one welcome our future (spare) otter/comet overlord!

    *Sigh*

    I used to just find Cumberbatch insanely beautiful after watching Sherlock. I would find myself getting irritated with anyone who criticized his appearance.

    A week ago one of my son’s friends came over and they popped “Napoleon Dynamite” into the DVD player and watched it. Now that I look at these pictures, I can’t help be see shades of Napoleon.

    I am pms-ing. It may just be a hormonal-induced phase…

    I love the dress!! Shoes and necklace don’t do anything for me but the dress…!!!

  32. Eden75 says:

    I like the dress. The shoes? Hell no. As a shoe connoisseur, those are a crime and should be burned. I was a 90’s teen and refused to own them then too.

    And this will probably incur wrath, but I don’t find Cumberbatch good looking, at all. He’s a good actor but he is so strange looking. Alien otter human, that’s what I see.

  33. WindowChair5 says:

    Totally think she is preggars again. She’s got to be otherwise there is no excuse for this dress. No offense but it’s horrible. A second baby is on its way peeps, regardless of when. Surprised she didn’t wait until after world wide Dr. Strange red carpets. Because this means she’ll be preggars on the red carpet again, which cannot be comfortable for anyone. Mazel tov to them!

  34. Dingding says:

    Dress is interesting in a boho + 20ies kind of way. not every woman goes out in a spandex-bandage dress on a date night with hubby. She has got a different style. Sadly many just seem to criticise her refusal to following the current tarty trend in women’s clothes instead of trying to see where such styles come from and what they do for a woman’s body. Hourglass silhouette isn’t everything!

    Let her be. She ain’t no fake baked silicon-enhanced peroxide blonde in spanx-for-dress.

    Kudos to Ben for not demanding his wife play the tart.

  35. Meg D says:

    Is CB’s resident Cumberbatch obsessive and her five million sockpuppets exploding again?

    • Saks says:

      I want them to come back! Those first Sophie posts were amazingly funny. I don’t even like Cumberbatch but I used to click just to read all those conspiracy theories and people reading lips out of pictures (that happen once).

    • SloaneY says:

      Oh Meg, I thought you’d know if you were here or not…

      • Spiderpig says:

        Felipe/Sloaney/Hermia/Gator: you seriously need to get over this psychotic obsession with hating your crush’s wife.

      • SloaneY says:

        Lol. Not my crush. Never has been. You guys are the ones that seem to have this weird obsession with crazy defensive posts that call everyone who doesn’t bow at the altar of cumberbatch/hunter a tumblr loon.

      • HoneymoonSuite says:

        SloaneY – thank you for saying this!!! If you say anything remotely disagreeing about his wife (like comment on her ugly dress), you’re raked over the coals and called a ‘hater’. What’s up with that? You are right when you say if you don’t bow to alter of cumberbatch/hunter you’re labeled a tumblr loon. Where is it written that we have to admire/love his wife? She does not have a career of her own to admire for pete’s sake! I didn’t dislike her but now i really am beginning to dislike both of these posh twats because of the way people vehemently defend her and bully others who don’t particularly like her or dare to say something that’s deemed not pro-Hunter. I thought we were free to voice our opinion but apparently not where Mrs. Cumberbatch is concerned.

  36. Ash says:

    They are two of the more unfortunate looking people I’ve ever seen.

    That’s all I got.

  37. Andrea says:

    I actually like the dress for once, but the shoes are heinous.

    I say wait another month and then it will be obvious if she is or isn’t. I still find their courtship/relationship odd. I have a good friend who got pregnant after 2 months and she is in a drama filled relationship at present with the guy. She is pregnant with #2 as well.

  38. rhall says:

    Pet peeve: Men don’t get pregnant. Benedict is not pregnant. His wife is pregnant. Although he is expecting a baby with is wife.

  39. lunchcoma says:

    Oh, probably, if only because they seem like a couple who’d want to have a pair of children a couple years apart, the timing is right, and she’s already in her late 30s.

    But I wouldn’t say you could guess by her fashion choices. She always wears odd things.

  40. kri says:

    Have they mixed up a new Batch?! I dunno-she is so tall and lean it is hard to tell. Mazel tov if that’s the case. speaking of jolie-laide, it is one of my fave kinds of laide. Most of my relationships are with people that could fall under that label. Always interesting-and I love that.

  41. Camille says:

    He’s straight up fug. No debate.

  42. Lauren says:

    Tom is blond Damian. We know that, don’t worry your ginger head about it.

  43. Guest says:

    Okay, here I am again and I just would love to know why she is called comet? Is that an insider joke? Btw I could wear body con dresses all the time and I bloody hate them. I do like her clothes, except of her shoes.

    Oh and who the hell calls Hiddleston a ginger??? He is blonde. Fassbender is a ginger though. And I like gingers. 😂

  44. Harry Lime says:

    Pregnant or not, that would have been a lovely dress on her if not for those horrible, horrible shoes.

  45. JOYCE says:

    She wears ivory necklace.
    She don’t know the civil war caused by Chinese ivory/weapon trade in Africa?
    Once she wore John Galliano dress at Nazi-code break film red carpet.

    • slh121 says:

      @Joyce-I believe that ivory referred to the necklace and bracelet. I don’t think any reputable jeweler would make anything out of ivory. There’s lots of imitation pieces that look very much like the real thing.

  46. Anne says:

    Ha!
