Julia Roberts
Second Annual Academy Museum Gala, Arrivals, Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Los Angles, California, USA - 15 Oct 2022
This feels like a much fresher Thom Browne update of the 2014 D&G that Julia wore to the Golden Globes, when she was nominated for Eat The Fish, Bitch (which, sadly, is August: Osage County and not a sequel to Eat, Pray, Love). This version is a bit more severe, and while I think it's entirely more ACCOMPLISHED from a technical and design standpoint, I'm not sure it suits JULIA!!! all that well? Maybe it's the slicker hair. I'm not sure. But it's all wearing her, rather than the other way around.

You know, whatever, there are only so many times I can worry about people's leg slits. Live and let leg! This is fun for a party.

This is absolutely not the worst of Louis Vuitton, but it's definitely not a line whose runway looks do anyone any favors.

I MEAN. Jurnee Smollett can pull off SO MUCH, but not even she can make sense of the massive zipper and the butt couch.

This almost isn't weird enough? The six cursed doilies on this thing look like a shell game waiting to be played. Track the ball and win a prize.

My kingdom for a real shirt, but that's a losing battle at this point. The suit is great.

Kaitlyn Dever

Ehhhhh, she'd been doing so much better. This isn't AWFUL, per se? But we're slipping into Lovely Young Widow somehow. Or, she's the beautiful, grieving daughter of the town's cranky old recluse and people are only just getting to see her in the sunlight, which of course will lead to ill-advised boinking and HEARTBREAK and then eventually true love. So, okay, whatever, it ends well, but still has a blah period.

This is from BEFORE the Dodgers blew a three-run lead, I assume. (No, I don't know if Glenn Close is a baseball fan; I am absolutely projecting.)

This is... glamorous and also extremely uncomfortable-looking. Like, can she sit down without untying that thing?

I can't say I LIKE this, necessarily, but I think it works super well for her whole mien. And I relate to those spikes.

Oh, NO. This is a bad idea. This is, in Top Gun terms, going below the hard deck. This is buzzing the tower without permission. This is Rooster's mustache. It is BAD IDEA COUTURE.

Kerry is in "The Banshees of Inisherin" right now, and is apparently something of a Martin McDonough muse, having appeared in several of his other similarly titled works. She looks good in this, and I bet we'll see her at a fair few things between now and awards season, because that movie is very well-reviewed.

They both look perfectly nice. Important question: Are her brows trying to tell us something? Is heavy plucking back?

This is brown, I've realized, but whatever. No system is perfect. Neither is this dress. She's wearing it very well, because she is a model, but it's not much to sing about.

This is fine, but sort of blah by her standards. She usually likes color. It's fine to take a break from that, though, obviously. We can't all live in day-glo. We aren't all JoJo Siwa.

Instead she might bust out... of her dress. She kept sticking her hands in it like this, so maybe she was fine with it.
