The latest Victory Tour portrait serves up another dose of man candy.
Winner of the 65th Hunger Games, District 4 victor Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) may be known for keeping secrets, but it seems he has a hard time keeping his clothes on. In his poster, Finnick wears combat boots, wide-legged pants and a gauzy shirt with a deep V-neck, which gives us a sneak peek at his bare chest. Not bad, but I’m interested to see his outfit for the Tribute Parade, which is described in the book as “a golden net that’s strategically knotted at his groin so that he can’t technically be called naked, but he’s about as close as you can get.” Hope the studio sprung for a trainer to help get Claflin ready for his big reveal.

We still have nine more months the wait until Catching Fire hits theaters, but thanks to the good folks at Lionsgate, Hunger Games fans got their fix with the unveiling of the Capitol Portraits series this week. First came Peeta, now there’s the poster for the other man in Katniss’ life — Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth).
Unlike Peeta, who’s clad in a Mugler-esque white suit and moon boots, Gale’s look is decidedly more working class.

Until last night, any betting fashionista would have put her money on the theory that Katniss Everdeen’s wedding dress — as seen in the Victory Tour portrait released earlier this week — was the work of Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton.
But Catching Fire costume designer Trish Summerville has set the record straight, revealing that the maker of the gown is a lesser-known fashion designer who has dressed real-life celebrities like Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian.

Heeeeere’s Peeta! And in a cream-colored suit and turtleneck and matching platform boots, no less. While there has already been speculation over whether this is Peeta’s wedding suit, it’s quite a bit more fashion forward than the “elegant tuxedo and white gloves” he’s described as wearing in the book. Still, Catching Fire costume designer Trish Summerville was the woman behind the gothic-chic look of Rooney Mara in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, so it is possible that Peeta’s gotten a makeover since we last saw him.

Attention Hunger Games fans — meet your Johanna Mason. From the looks of her Catching Fire portrait, the District 7 tribute doesn’t just have a killer instinct, she’s also got killer style. Holding a single rose — and serving up a “Blue Steel” stare that would make Derek Zoolander proud — Johanna (Jenna Malone) is dressed in a one-shoulder gown with a lace collar neckline and ruffled skirt.
While a countdown clock one the Capitol Couture Tumblr clicks down to the unveiling of another Catching Fire portrait, PerezHilton.com has already revealed Peeta’s poster.

In her first official Victory Tour poster, Hunger Games winner Katniss Everdeen sported a simple, clean white dress that emanated innocence and humility. But the District 12 tribute’s outfit in this newest victory poster is anything but simple. Instead, it’s an intricate, high-volume design that resembles a creation from the fall 2011 Alexander McQueen ready-to-wear collection — and evokes the romance of the gown a certain Best Actress winner wore to the 2013 Academy Awards.

Panem’s best and brightest never miss an opportunity to celebrate — and the singular outcome of the 74th annual Hunger Games is as good a reason as any.
Yesterday, the revived Capitol Couture blog celebrated Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark’s unprecedented joint victory by posting a somber but flamboyant portrait of District 12 escort Effie Trinket, looking marvelous in red chiffon and organza. And now the Capitol has released a second victory portrait of Hunger Games host Caesar Flickerman, who knows how to rock a pink pompadour and a patterned suit. (He also bears a striking resemblance to ancient 21st century actor Stanley Tucci.) Check out the photo below:

What happens when The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, meets the Girl on Fire?
After successfully transforming Rooney Mara into Lisbeth Salander, wardrobe designer Trish Summerville has signed on to oversee the costumes for the Hunger Games sequel.
Fans of the Suzanne Collins book know that Summerville — who started her career as a costume assistant on films like Girl, Interrupted and later served as personal stylist to Christina Aguilera – will be responsible for conjuring up Katniss’ wedding dress, which looks at first to be standard issue bridal attire but eventually goes up in flames to reveal a feathered (and winged) mockingjay gown.
