Blake Lively in Tamara Ralph

This is fine and festive and very Blake. I don't mind her generally sunshine-y style, usually, but I sometimes wish she'd veer a little more understated, as a treat.

Rachel Zoe in Lever Couture

I know I just advocated for understatement but HELLO! This dress is fantastic and she looks great in it. She's freshly single -- I can't believe she and Rodger broke up! -- and certainly appears ready to, as they say, mingle.

Anna Kendrick

This is an unusual color combo and I think it makes this objectively sort of predictable shaped gown more interesting. Despite what I just said about predictability, I also think she looks great here.

Ricky Martin

This is not predictable and also I don't....like it. I'm sorry, Ricky. I don't think this bangs.

Danielle Deadwyler

She is so pretty and I long for the day when she is no longer contractually obligated to wear Miu Miu all the time. This is fine but it also looks like it was made from someone slightly taller than her. I feel like the Prada house so often seems to be making clothing in a vacuum and not thinking about the actual celebrity they are dressing.

Kaia Gerber in Gucci

I feel like, for a model, she never really zings in red carpet photos -- but this dress is fab and she does look gorgeous.

Eiza Gonzalez

Okay, I just noticed how sheer this is and I don't -- SURPRISE!!!! -- love that. However, everything else about it is great and I've had food poisoning since Thursday morning so whatever it's fine!!!!!!!!

Mia Goth

I didn't see a photo of her facing forward but I'm going to assume the bodice of her dress doesn't, like, have two tiny holes for her nipples to stick out of, or say I LOVE MAYO in glitter embroidery on the front or whatever. The color is gorgeous.

Lee Ji-ah

Fun fact: She also wore this as a Sexy Luxe Guinevere costume over the weekend.

Monica Barbaro

This is just super pretty on her. Great jewelry, too.

Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle Rodriguez always looks like she rode her motorcycle over to any given event and I like that about her. She's always just...kinda windblown. I do think her footwear let her down here.

Vittoria Ceretti

She's apparently still dating Leonardo DiCaprio, who is one of the chairs of this event and who did not walk the carpet. (He was inside and looked as you'd imagine.) This is pretty, certainly.

Charli XCX in custom Gucci

This feels a little underbaked, like it needed to go one direction or the other. I am a bit underwhelmed with the current Gucci.

Yara Shahidi

Very elegant! Very professional!

Emily Ratajkowski in archival DKNY

This is a surprise for Emily and honestly....I love this vibe for her. Autumnal, archival, and warm.

Chloe Sevigny in Saint Laurent

I LOVE this collection and she's exactly the buyer for it. If anyone gets 80s excess, it's the Sev.

LACMA Art+Film Gala: The Folks Who Wore Color!

And a handful of sparkles.
