Are You Ready For Sparkle? Meet The Cast and Check Out Their Retro Chic Style

August 2nd, 2012 - By MN Editor

Are you ready for Sparkle? The remake of the classic film about three teenagers from Harlem who set their sights on making musical history in Motown will be significant in more ways than one. It is the last film made by Whitney Houston, who passed away three months after production ended on the Salim Akil-directed project. It also marks the acting debut of American Idol Jordin Sparks. But Houston and Sparks aren’t the only two stars in the film. Derek Luke, Mike Epps, Cee Lo Green, Carmen Ejogo, Tika Sumpter, Tamela Mann and Omari Hardwick also star in the film. Let’s meet the cast and take a peak at their stylish retro chic fashions, shall we?

“Sparkle” played by Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks needs no introduction. The Arizona-raised songstress has come a long way since she won American Idol in 2006. Marking her feature film debut, fans are waiting to see how she’ll handle her big role playing a role inspired by Diana Ross (as part of the Supremes). Judging from the look of her outfit, it’s apparent that color blocking is nothing new and was definitely part of the retro chic look.

    I loved the original Sparkle, and even have the original soundtrack on vinyl! I wasn’t too fond of it being remade after Aaliyah passed, because I seriously thought it should’ve been her in the title role, but I will be going to see it in honor of the incomparable Whitney Houston and my fellow Naptown-ian, Mike Epps! Everyone looks great in the promos! I’m hoping it will be good!

        the original is GREAT my favorite musical which is funny because i have not met anyone my age that knows that this is a remake

        Yeah, they show it on BET from time to time. That’s how I know about the original.

    What’s the point of remaking this movie??? There are plenty of interesting girl group stories from the singing girl’s groups past. Why remake something all over again??? Why not come up with a whole new story line??? Meh!! Originality and creativity becomes legendary, not copy catty, I am just saying…. I’ll only watch this for Whitney’s performance and that’s it.

    I think I’m going to stop pointing and clicking so I don’t have any expectations before the film. Too much info just kills the movie going experience for me.
