It's just so good on her. Sexy and properly cut.
Amanda Seyfried in Prada

I'm tired of the designed slipping-off-the-shoulder strap. Otherwise, she looks very pretty.
Selena Gomez in Armani, and Benny Blanco

Gorgeous. I will say again, I love that she looks so, so happy ever since she and Benny got together.

I just don't know about making him look like the bartender.

This man has never skimped on accessories a day in his life, and I respect it.
Greta Lee in Dior

No wonder Jonathan Anderson loves designing for her. She can really carry anything.
America Ferrera in Rodarte

This is inexcusable on her. I can't abide how it chops her up, and the top doesn't flatter her upper torso at all. It makes me want to scream a bit.
Lupita Nyong'o in Chanel

BOTH of these women, America and Lupita, are radiant and deserve better than a tired old design. At least Lupita's is a bit nicer.
Maggie Gyllenhaal

This is the tragic Regency version of America's dress. I'm crabby about all of them.
Taylour Paige in McQueen

Petition to ban long, ratty extensions. And to block the marriage of heavy-duty garbage bags with bras.
Diane Lane

Simple and chic.

'tis a rare day when Diane Lane and Olivia Wilde are wearing similar things.
Simu Liu

He cracks me up. Her skirt is beautiful; it's off-brand for me to wish that it started higher up on her waist, because maybe that means more sheers. But it's so gorgeous.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus

I am not upset about this at all, but it does feel like something we've seen on her a hundred times.
Christina Ricci

I can't pretend I like the dress. But those feeling pale in comparison to the screams of my soul when I got to the shoes. I never thought I'd yearn for a black pump, but here we are.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade

Dwayne Johnson

Very nice, sir.
Eddie Redmayne

He's just waiting for someone to toss him a top hat and cane, and then he's gonna do a dance number that will blow your socks off.
Adrien Brody

I mean, sure. I forgot he's the reigning Best Actor winner and so we're in for like six more months of him leaning vaguely toward the camera.
Charlie Hunnam

Okay!
Kerry Condon

This called for pulling her hair back and borrowing some bling.
Will Arnett

Zoe Saldana in Saint Laurent

This is very nice and it's almost washing away the taste of her deranged T Mobile ads.
Kendall Jenner in The Row

That design is more interesting than I gave it credit for initially, but it doesn't entirely feel on par with the dress code here. It needs more styling oomph to feel formal enough, and she didn't provide it.
Sebastian Stan, Annabelle Wallis

More gym hair, more nighties, and a surprising amount of satiny material on Sebastian. Someone give them a do-over.
Jaden Smith

Well, I appreciate him championing the usefulness of a clutch, anyway.
Jeremy Allen White

Back to his standard. Well, actually, I associate him more with a white tux jacket, but you feel me.
Jacob Elordi

You can take off your sunnies, Jacob. I promise they are not making you look cool.
Riley Keough

She always seems vaguely stressed in photos. This is completely reasonable! She can exhale!
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

It's hard to argue with that.
Tom Blyth

This is gently rakish -- Jeremy Allen White could stand to go in this direction.
Lindsey Vonn

I mean, she's CERTAINLY worn worse.
Tom Bateman

It's amusing that this looks so Formal Jedi when you consider he's married to Daisy Ridley.
Nicholas Duvernay in Prada

I could NOT figure out where I knew him from, but then I looked it up, and of course! He's Natasha Rothwell's son from The White Lotus. Prada did right by him.
Lee Pace
