Ben Barnes for The Observer Editorial

Have you watched the new Narnia movie? The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, that's the exact title. It's the continuation of the Prince Caspian which set you back two years ago when it was shown in the cinema. I haven't watched the new one yet, but was hoping it's gonna be as good as the previous Narnia. And what is the similarities between both flicks? No, not just the presence of the Lion, silly... instead both have Ben Barnes in it, who played the role Prince Caspian himself in the oh-so-weird Spanish accent. No offence, but I do like his acting though in the previous movie Ben looks kinda stiff. (yikes!)

Anyway, I met Ben in London on the red carpet during the premiere of the Prince Caspian that was held at the O2 Arena. There's a lot of people there cos the screening is also opened to the public instead of just to the select few who got tickets. So, you can expect lots of under-12 kids with their parents attended the event that day. Ben looked kinda pale in real life, but still rocks in that dashing tuxedo he's wearing (please got some tan, Ben). And yes, the long hair is real, yet with some more extension - voila, he got the Prince's look in all glory!

OK. Enough about that. Btw, Ben Barnes has been featured in The Observer for Autumn/Winter 2010 editorial. Wearing the must-haves coats and boots from Burberry Prorsum, Aquascutum and dunhill, the look is nothing but quintessential British brand at its finest.Though it does said classic coat yet I do love the new take on the design especially the modern and slimmer silhouette with luxe luscious material. New color like tobacco sits pretty well alongside black for the typical sombre mood of the season.

My fav pick? The db overcoat in the first and last pixs, which is worn with a turn-up collar. That's splendid.
