Welcome to LaDress.com | The perfect dress for every occasion

British actress Emma Thompson's wit, beauty and class continue to amaze us here at LaDress. The characters she chooses to portray always have a distinguished sense of class and a magical sparkle to them. She was born in London, on April 15, 1959, into a family of actors. Not wanting to start acting without a proper education, she studied English literature at the University of Cambridge. In 1980 she graduated and embarked on a career of entertainment, beginning with stints on British television channel BBC, and later touring with several comedy shows. Her switch to film productions became very successful when she won an Oscar and a BAFTA award for her role in the 1992 movie 'Howard's End'. But of course we all know and love her the most for her role as Elinor Dashwood in everyone's favorite 'Sense and sensibility'. This movie got Emma her second Oscar, this time she won for writing the best screenplay. So her University degree in English literature definitely paid off. Other favorites of LaDress are the magical and charming 'Nanny McPhee' and of course the new film classic 'Love Actually'.

This woman keeps being a free spirit with her trademark sense of self critical sarcasm, which makes her a fresh breath of air compared to the typical Hollywood actress. Therefore she is a true LaDress woman and has of course one of our lovely dresses named after her. Our Emma is as fun, fresh and elegant as Mrs. Thompson. A perfect fit!

This Spring we can all enjoy Emma in 'Nanny McPhee and the big bang', which is in theaters now.
