Calathea 'Beauty Star' – The Striking, Elegant Houseplant That Elevates Your Space

Calathea ‘Beauty Star’ isn’t just another leafy green houseplant—it’s a statement piece. Its long, slender leaves have an artistic mix of deep green, soft pink, and silver stripes that seem almost hand-painted. If you love plants that bring something unique to your space, this variety stands out even among other Calatheas.

You probably already know that Calatheas are known for their stunning foliage, but ‘Beauty Star’ takes it to another level. The leaves are more elongated than other varieties, giving it an elegant, slightly wild appearance. The variegation is sharper and more pronounced than in other Calatheas, like ‘Medallion’ or ‘Orbifolia,’ making this one a must-have if you want something with a little extra flair.


What Makes Calathea ‘Beauty Star’ Special?

1. A True Living Piece of Art

Each leaf is a masterpiece. The combination of deep green with silvery streaks and pink highlights creates an almost iridescent effect. The undersides are a rich purple, adding another layer of depth to the plant’s beauty. It shifts subtly throughout the day as light catches different angles—making it feel like a living work of art in your home.

2. Moves With the Light

Like other Calatheas, ‘Beauty Star’ is a prayer plant, meaning its leaves move in response to light. In the morning, they spread out to soak up light, and in the evening, they fold upward as if in prayer. This small movement gives it an almost interactive feel, making it one of those plants you’ll catch yourself watching throughout the day.

3. A Natural Air Purifier

While all houseplants contribute to better air quality, Calatheas are known for being particularly effective at filtering out common household toxins. Keeping one near your workspace or bedroom could make your space feel fresher and more inviting.

4. Perfect for Low-Light Spaces

Not every beautiful plant thrives in lower light, but this one does. ‘Beauty Star’ will flourish in medium to low-indirect light, making it perfect for those spots in your home that don’t get direct sun. If you’ve been searching for something to brighten up a dim corner, this plant is an ideal choice.


How Does It Compare to Other Calatheas?

If you’ve had other Calatheas before, you might wonder how ‘Beauty Star’ differs. Compared to the popular Calathea ‘Medallion,’ ‘Beauty Star’ has narrower, more elongated leaves with sharper variegation. It also has a slightly more delicate, wispy look compared to the broad, round leaves of ‘Medallion.’

Compared to Calathea ‘White Fusion,’ ‘Beauty Star’ is easier to care for. ‘White Fusion’ is known to be quite fussy about humidity, while ‘Beauty Star’ is slightly more forgiving—though it still appreciates a humid environment.

If you’re choosing between Calatheas, ‘Beauty Star’ is a great pick if you want something with bold striping but easier care than some of the rarer varieties.


Where to Place It in Your Home

Calathea ‘Beauty Star’ works beautifully in multiple settings:

  • Bedroom – Since it purifies the air and thrives in lower light, it’s a great addition to a cozy bedroom setup.
  • Office or Work-from-Home Space – The leaf movement throughout the day makes it an engaging plant to have near your desk.
  • Bathroom – If you have a bathroom with a window, this plant will love the extra humidity.
  • Bookshelves or Side Tables – Its upright growth and striking foliage make it a perfect focal point for smaller spaces.

Home Design Styles That Pair Well With Calathea ‘Beauty Star’

Because of its dramatic foliage and elegant silhouette, Calathea ‘Beauty Star’ fits effortlessly into a variety of home design styles. Here are a few that truly highlight its beauty:

1. Modern Minimalist

If you love a clean, uncluttered aesthetic with neutral tones, ‘Beauty Star’ adds the perfect organic contrast. Its rich colors and graceful leaves soften the straight lines of minimalist design without overwhelming the space. Pair it with sleek white or black planters to keep the look refined.

2. Bohemian (Boho) Chic

This plant practically begs to be part of a boho-inspired space. With its layered hues and interactive movement, it complements the collected, eclectic feel of rattan furniture, macramé hangings, and warm, earthy tones. Place it in a textured basket planter for a relaxed yet stylish vibe.

3. Art Deco Glam

If your home leans toward bold, luxurious elements—think gold accents, geometric patterns, and jewel tones—Calathea ‘Beauty Star’ is right at home. The metallic-like sheen on its leaves and deep purple undersides add richness and drama, making it a natural fit in an Art Deco setting.

4. Tropical Retreat

Bring vacation vibes into your home by pairing ‘Beauty Star’ with other lush, leafy plants like Monstera, Bird of Paradise, or palms. The mix of foliage creates a rainforest-inspired oasis, perfect for a sunroom or a spa-like bathroom.

5. Scandinavian Cozy (Hygge-Inspired)

For those who love a cozy, Scandinavian-style home, this plant adds a soft, organic touch to warm wood tones and natural textiles. Its subtle pink and green hues work beautifully with soft lighting and neutral palettes, enhancing the feeling of calm and comfort.


Is It Pet-Friendly?

Yes! Calatheas, including ‘Beauty Star,’ are non-toxic to pets. If you have cats or dogs, this is a great choice because you don’t have to worry about any harmful effects if they get curious and take a nibble.


A Perfect Gift for Plant Lovers

If you know someone who appreciates unique houseplants, Calathea ‘Beauty Star’ makes a fantastic gift. It’s stunning, interactive, and has that rare combination of elegance and boldness. Whether for a birthday, housewarming, or just because, this plant is one that any plant lover would be thrilled to receive.

BLU RAY is the 132 minute Original U.S. Theatrical Cut FINALLY!!!!
] On this Blu-ray for the first time ever we get the ORIGINAL 132 minute version of the film as was shown in U.S. theaters. (Note: This is NOT the "Love Conquers All" Sheinberg/TV Edit.) All the DVD releases before this have been the European Version/Director's Cut of the film. Even the original Universal DVD release that said Theatrical Cut on the box actually had the European Version/Director's Cut. Unfortunately, Universal didn't really spend any time cleaning up the negative for Hi-Definition (there is very noticeable instances of dirt and debris on the negative) but it still beats the image quality found on the Universal SD DVD, and they do include an amazing DTS-HD Master 5.1. We'll just have to wait for the Criterion Blu-ray of Brazil for image perfection but serious fans of Brazil will want to get this Blu-ray edition just to have this version of the film as it was originally seen in theaters in 1985. I actually find this 132-minute version is in many ways a superior cut of the film. Here are the differences in detail: *In the 132-minute version you cut from Sam in bed with Jill, police sack goes over head, then CUT TO Pull off police sack to reveal Sam in Torture Chamber/Interrogation chair. This one cut is simply brilliant and very powerful. In the Criterion Version you have the added scene of Mr. Helpman as Father Christmas (completely out of charcater from the rest of the film) and the whole interrogation scene of Sam hanging from the rack inside the police/mail pouch which becomes narratively redundant and dilutes the impact of the final scene. *To end it with cooling tower/interrogation room fade to clouds was a great Gilliam wink of subversion and irreverence to the cliche Hollywood Ending. As opposed to the European cut of just credits over cooling tower/interrogation room. *The Samurai Scene is divided into 3 separate scenes in the 132-minute version versus 1 LONG scene in the European cut. And you know what? Like most things, it works better in 3's. *The 132-minute version cuts straight to the Dinner Scene with Ida (his mother) ordering numero deux, trois, etc. while the European version has the entrance to the restaurant of going through the metal detector which really doesn't add anything and is again a bit redundant when the bomb does eventually go off in the restaurant. With the scene, you're signaling to the audience we are looking for a bomb, so we expect a bomb. Without the added scene, the bombing is unexpected and it actually shocks you so you're both horrified and laughing. The unexpectedness also works as it builds upon the bomb motif from the first explosion at the beginning of Brazil during the Ducts advert. *And finally I just love that the 132-minute version opens on those clouds (outtakes from The Never-Ending Story) then goes to the Central Services advert about Ducts: "Are your ducts old-fashioned, out-of-date... " Now the Criterion version also has the clouds opening (The Original European Cut didn't) but it's funny because the Studio asked Gilliam to start off with the clouds for the US Cut and he actually prefers it as quoted in his Director's commentary. Hilarious. Little changes that add up to a tighter and overall, better film.

An ageless classic !
I hadn't re-watched this movie since the first time I saw it, when it came out in 1985. Back then, it had stricken the public with its fatalistic and pessimistic view of an overwhelming bureacracy, a suggested characteristic of fully-centralised power in a controlled society in the future. Today, we can still admire some of its validity and premonitory qualities (and the sarcastic humour !). The dream-like scenes and symbols used in the film are also ageless. Ever-growing computer systems govern today the relationships we hold with banks, government departments, utilities, phone companies, etc. Who hasn't experienced the frustration of dealing with their 'machines' and/or incompetent & robotic bureaucrats when problems or errors arise in their service? 'Brazil' will seem so familiar! The omni-presence of screens in our lives, everywhere and incessantly offering us products or services, or used to control our movements and behaviour, is also a well-guessed futuristic scenario by Gilliam & co. And what to say about the 'terrorism' and the 'permanent state of fear' portrayed back then? Sounds familiar today? I recommend this movie to anyone interested in the threats of an unbridled, arrogant and all-powerful bureaucracy in human society. The film can be a bit 'heavy' at times, though. Not everyone's cup of tea. Watch it first, before sharing with friends or family.

The music is lovely, Catherine Deneuve is beautiful and the story will tear you apart.
The word "Masterpiece" is thrown about often in the worlds of film and music but in this case this is the real thing. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of those rare instances where everything came together in a film in a serendipitous way that would never be duplicated. Not only that, but made by two up and coming young men who had only done two films before with a cast of mostly unknowns. Then, to top it all off, it would not just be a musical, but a film sung completely through like opera, something completely unique and untried. Try selling a concept like that to one of today's studios. Fortunately the early sixties was a much looser time with many movie studios and open minds willing to try new things. The director was Jacques Demy, whose first film, Lola (1961) included music but was shot in the more usual black and white. His co-creator was Michel Legrand, already known as a jazz pianist who had had hit albums and even toured America. The music would be light,, but not operetta; it would be updated to include strong influences of chanson, pop and jazz with a little Baroque counterpoint thrown in (Legrand had been classically trained). This time the film would be shot in super-saturated color with sets painted vibrant, almost expressionist colors. And it all would center around a young and virtually unknown Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo as Genevieve and Guy, the very personification of young love in a rainy Spring. The resulting film is completely transporting. The story is very old, the treatment very new and the end result is something to be experienced. The singing somehow seems completely natural, more natural in a way, than films with spoken dialogue that break into songs from time to time. Here in a world of continuous music, love has turned everything into a dizzily colored poem that peaks when Guy is to be sent away to fight in the war in Algeria. Fate takes a big hand in the consequences creating unforseen results. The supporting cast are as good as the principals, with Anne Vernon (Madame Emery) the veteran of many films and Marc Michel (Roland Cassard) coming in having played the same character in Lola, a signature quirk of the director. The music produced two early sixties hits, I Will Wait For You and Watch What Happens. Mr. Legrand's familiarity with the worlds of pop and jazz kept everything fresh-sounding and up to date. You also note subtle touches like the opening jazzy music set in 1957 is very brassy and big band sounding while in the 1963 final scene it's the cool jazz of that time. The colors are so captivatingly brilliant that when establishing shots of the actual Cherbourg are shown it seems like another world. If you like romances, this is one of the classics. If you are open to musicals you will have no trouble with the fact that the entire film is sung. This is a most memorable and worthy film.
