Kate Hudson in Louis Vuitton

There's a germ of an interesting outfit here, but I can't help thinking it looks like a sweater that should never have been on a hanger, and has spent the spring and summer sloooooowly oozing down to the floor.

However, I started liking it a lot more once she OWNED the ooze.

This billboard of billowing cloth would have been a great sponsorship opportunity. Do you want this to be just some random sleeve, or the American Airlines Sleeve at the Kate Hudson Experience? Quicken Rocket Mortgage Presents the Turbotax Arm? RIGHT.

Natasha Lyonne in Sebastian Gunawan

Of all of this, I'm the MOST here for the skirt. The top looks a little like she was on call for her job as an acrobat. I'd have done a metallic shoe, also.

Jennifer Hudson in Alexandre Vauthier

This dress is perilous because it's the type of thing best worn if you can spin ALL THE TIME. She looks great -- this is lively and fun and could also whip the dirt off her limo.

Issa Rae in Alexandre Vauthier

Same designer, same color story, but much sleeker -- it's ALMOST '80s Mega Diva, but without the shoulders. I love it.

Jurnee Smollett in Armani from 2009

This one is confusing. I love that it's vintage, and I REALLY loved it on Instagram, but at the event it's doing bananas things to her boobs that it wasn't doing at home. Either they shot the angle REALLY carefully for Instagram, or it didn't care for her sitting in the limo? You ALSO can't see that it's blue. the lighting at this event was not ideal, but that doesn't solve the bodice problem. Sigh. We've been on a real emotional journey here.

Lily Rabe in Carolina Herrera

She looks like she's trying to keep a straight face while she gets pecked by crows.

Rebecca Hall in Armani

From the woman who brought you Oh My God What Are Those Shoes comes the next great hit single Too Tight, Too Sheer.

Sarah Paulson in Armani, with Holland Taylor

This is from a similar family of outfits. Honestly, Holland steals this one; Sarah's dress is a bit dreary.

Angela Bassett in Elie Saab

Angela is truly working this.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Rita seems like a very cool lady, and she has great taste in glitter.

Laura Dern

She looks like a very sexy oil slick.

Lindsey Vonn

This has a Morticia Addams Went Blond feel. I might have scooped back the hair.

Ruth Negga in vintage Arnold Scassi

I thought this was going to be Valentino, but it's something she got from Shrimpton Couture. What a lovely find; it's perfect for her.

Michaela Jaé in Brandon Maxwell

I wish the lighting had been nicer. This is a good dress and she looks super in it, so I'd like to see it better.

Regina Hall in Julien Macdonald

Whereas I wish the lighting had been a WEE bit worse on this one. I do not need to see it quite so well.

Selma Blair in Rokh

Selma works the cane SO WELL. My dad had a collection of canes with funky attributes -- one of them has a tiny sword in it, another has a test tube of booze and a tiny glass for it hidden in there -- and I really want Selma to start collecting antique walking sticks with a twist. Hopefully she already is.

DVF

I am sure her hand is in her pocket, but it definitely looks like it's just... gone.

Sophia Loren

I wish I could say it was great?

Adriana Lima in Nicolas Jebran

I love a gold dress, for sure. But this one isn't as good from the front...

... as it is from the back. The folds of the skirt looks so impressive in this pic.

Sophie Hunter (in Dior) and Batchedict Cumberbene in Armani

Sophie has good taste; that's gorgeous.

Diana Silvers in Celine

This has such a subtle shimmer to it. I like it more than I expected to; it has an understated glamour that I appreciate. (Diana was in Booksmart. She's also in Space Force. She'd probably prefer I had only mentioned the first one.)

Chloe Zhao in Chanel

I BELIEVE her top is sparkly, unless that's just my eyesight failing. I like how this takes her casual aesthetic and... spiffs it up, without her going full ball gown. It's true to her.

Kate and Laura Mulleavy

These two look lovely, and also like they are working on their Emerald Fennell costumes for Halloween.

Meg Ryan in Ulyana Sergeenko

I love this dress. WELCOME BACK, MEG. I also thought she was Nicole Kidman for a second in the small thumbnail size, until ACTUAL Nicole Kidman showed up...

Nicole Kidman in Rodarte

... and I was like, "Oh, RIGHT." This is a fun departure for Nicole, and I like to see the curly hair again, even if it does look a bit like she dried it with one of the blowers in the airport bathroom.

Emilia Jones in Louis Vuitton

Speaking of Space Force, this feels like it should be one of the uniforms. (It's cool on her, though.)

Jeremy Scott

And this is what you wear to the Space Force Prom.

Ariana DeBose in Zuhair Murad

Apparently this event really DID go on this long. It's a whole other natural light situation here.

Cher in D&G

And then... Cher. This is a bummer. Cher, based on my observations of her on Twitter, feels like someone who would actually care about why people are upset with D&G. And whose fans would hope for more from her than tacit support. CHER. You didn't need that hat, for one thing.

Do You Think Hollywood Has Missed Big Ol' Unnecessary Parties?

I do.
