I mean, this is a bit dull -- the back is half-bare, but that's the only real flourish -- but sometimes being simple means you have less room for error. And this one is not screwing up at all. Perhaps... a bracelet? It is a bit of a NABathon.

She's in Designated Survivor, which is both good and depressing, because Kiefer plays a president whose every instinct is just and right. This dress is ALSO just and right, and there is your tie-in.

Stunning.

Okay, this is sort of crazy. (We've seen that sweater before, I believe, and it's actually cropped.) I am having a variety of difficulties with it, because a) it's INSANE; that skirt could be The Big Top but collapsed; and b) she's not incapable of pulling it off.
Octavia Spencer

This is a bit plain, but look how phenomenal her head is. That's making me accept the blahness of the rest.

This is also pretty good, even with the secret slit that's hiding in there, thinking we can't see it. I'm not opposed to slits on principal, though, and I appreciate a person who will wear one without considering it a mandatory loin hole.
Tea Leoni

This nude clutch is almost as wrong here as nude shoes would be. Ditto the lipstick. Make it darker and make it flashier, Tea, so that we don't spend all our time wondering if the see-through bolero was a good idea.
