Hillary Johnson has an excellent post about Ms. Swinton’s Oscars appearance at our beauty blog. I love the whole post, but I’ll call this the money quote:

If you try to understand Swinton’s appearance in terms of the red carpet, or even in terms of of movie star, she is impossible to compute, but think of her in terms of an architectural statement, and it’s possible that she’s finally doing for beauty what Mies and Eliel did for architecture in the middle of the last century, ie, changing it forever, from the DNA up. Although it’s possible that she will remain a splendid anomaly, like Kate Hepburn, who wasn’t a skyscraper at all despite her height, but a yar sailing ship.

I’m encouraged by some of the comments people have left, too.
