Mia – Ft McMurray's Homepage

Last night I was sitting on my couch, fondly thinking about Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again, as one does. It’s the perfect movie, about a woman living happily—instead of horror befalling her at every turn. Donna (played brilliantly by Lily James) is a sovereign nation unto herself. She’s independent. She does what she wants.

And that moment when Hugh Skinner (a.k.a. young Pierce Brosnan), looks at the floaty turquoise dress and said it’d look good on her, only for her to pop out with her thumbs stuck into her overall pockets, to laughingly say wow, he really didn’t know her at all? One, it makes my heart swell. She knows herself so well, and byeee to anyone who’s not here for it. Two, it’s a ready-made Halloween look.

I’m probably going to order overalls next week, and so is everyone else—according to Pinterest, saves for costumes inspired by Mamma Mia have gone up 1,636 percent this past year.

I was playing with makeup while pondering all this, when I had an epiphany. The palette in my hand, Huda Beauty’s Precious Stones Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in Emerald ($27), was the eyeshadow equivalent of MM2: HWGA.

The shades are happy, but with dimension. They’re the kind of bubbly, fun, fearless colors that Donna’s style vibed with, while channeling the ’70s love for sparkle and color. The foil-finish spearmint, the seafoam (s/o to the dress), the forest greens, the yellowy grass tones, the blue-green jewel options: they’d make Donna proud. Cher, too—the icon shows up in the movie with a deep green shade on her lid, and freaking pulls it off.

Do her proud with the palette’s middle-left shade, add a boa on Halloween, and you’re set. The summery green at top-middle would pair easily with overalls for a day-of event, while the gold-tinged shade would match with any Dynamos-inspired costume. And for the seafoam dress that Donna passed over, the middle square’s emerald shade (or Dose of Colors’ option, below) would add a splash of distinction. Bold, loud, and unashamed—I know what I’ll be wearing come October 31. You?

You can dance, you can jive, or you can have the time of your life and watch a magnificent trailer featuring the songs of Swedish megagroup ABBA. Your call.

That’s right, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again has finally blessed us with a trailer for the sequel we didn’t know we needed, and it’s going to be a perfect escapist romp just in time for summer. For those unfamiliar with the joys of the original Mamma Mia, the sequel will do double-duty by updating us on what’s going on with Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and Sky (Dominic Cooper) as they announce their pregnancy to family and friends on their Greek island, as well as turning back time with flashbacks to see how Donna (Lily James as the younger version of Meryl Streep‘s character) made her way to the island to begin with. And don’t worry, the three daddies (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård) will be there, back in the present day, as well as dancing queen Cher as Sophie’s feisty grandmother. Yes! Cher!

Suspiciously missing from a lot of the action, though? Streep herself, which is making people question whether her character was killed off for the sake of a “full circle” narrative. (Note the various clues in the trailer, such as Sophie saying she doesn’t know how “to do this by myself” or only referring to Donna in the past tense.) Though it seems only time will tell if we’ll actually be saying farewell to this mamma (mia).

See that girl, watch that scene in the trailer below, as it’ll be a while until it finally reaches theaters—July 20, to be precise. My, my, how can you resist this!
