James Franco does Alpine chic at Sundance – Stylewatch

Every year at the Sundance film festival, one celebrity is chosen to pose with the photographers. This year it was James Franco, in Utah to promote I Am Michael, about a gay man who renounces his sexuality to become a minister. The whole vibe was laid back, but that’s what we love: how many celebrities don Sorel-style snow boots (seen below), a Moncler Fair Isle sweater and boring jeans, snow or not? Exactly. Could this be the start of a new, limelight-shy, low-key Franco? Unlikely but never mind.
