Star Trek Premiere: Red Carpet Recap

Posted by William Edwards On May - 4 - 2009

If you don’t have Chris Pine’s dreamy baby-blue eyes, the must-have accessory at the “Star Trek” premiere last night was the Vulcan Salute. From supermodels to Spock himself, everyone was waving it around like they were from a Vulcan world themselves.

Of course, Leonard Nimoy and George Takei are old hats at this, so their salutes were flawless. But what about the rest? It turns out, some celebs were better at this than others. Heidi Klum? Expert supermodel-runway-esque salute. Hayden Panettiere? Adorable salute. Simon Pegg and Karl Urban? They sported the “we’re stars in this movie, so we’d better have it right” salute.

Tori Spelling made it her own and flashed the Vulcan salute backwards. (Um, ok … ?) And Christian Slater … just … couldn’t … quite … well, take a peek after the jump.
