Jessie Buckley in Chanel
This was, per her stylist, a reference to Grace Kelly's 1956 Oscars gown. Kelly did not win that year, she was just a presenter -- she presented Ernest Borgnine with his Oscar, and she took off the top wrap for the ceremony, so this is a bit of a deep cut. It's definitely not the most iconic Grace Kelly Oscars gown -- which probably would have felt a bit too on the nose. All that yapping aside, I think she looks FANTASTIC in this. I was worried she was gonna veer kinda weird and I am relieved that did not happen.
Nicole Kidman in Chanel
Honestly? This is spectacular to me. THIS is vaguely weird but not in a bad way, and she looks gorgeous. Single Nicole Kidman IS BACK.
McKenna Grace in custom Vera Wang
This is VERY pretty and it feels like Vera Wang finally got a go at re-doing Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscar gown. I do think it's a bit much of a dress for someone who is not nominated but god knows I understand the impulse to wear it.
Chase Infiniti in custom Louis Vuitton
I think this looked better on TV than it does in photos. She's had a GREAT awards season and I welcome the return of this color but...is this TOO much ruffle? Does it look a little bit like she's got a bedspread attached to her hip? No worries if so, she will CERTAINLY be here again.
Ji-young Yoo in Carolina Herrera
Absolutely perfect; she told Zuri Hall that she loved this dress's slight reference to a hanbok. It's beautiful on her.
Emily V. Gordon
DING DONG! I also love this Nice Cruella deVil thing that's happening with her hair right now.
