ACS: Impeachment

Annaleigh Ashford

Annaleigh plays Paula Jones. She's a great actress (but why God must we have another season of B Positive, with terrible Thomas Middleditch?!?), and I love how irreverent this is. She looks like the Stanford Tree mascot on a tropical vacation.

We got a shoe close-up, so OBVIOUSLY I wanted you to have it.

This is very, very cute. Right up until the shoes, which just sort of lack personality. Honestly, the way they styled it on the model with the jean jacket and the boots is pretty great, but I get where Beanie may have decided that was too casual.

Sarah Paulson in Alexander Vauthier

Sarah seems to be dyeing her brows back, gradually. I like the retro sheen to this, but the shoes also let it down a bit, no? Silver would have worked.

Billy Eichner

He looks dapper and ready for a spritz in the Hamptons. (He plays Matt Drudge. I am so intrigued by a lot of the casting.)

Blair Underwood

And Blair plays Vernon Jordan?!? Damn. Maybe I do need to watch this. The lack of socks here is distracting me though.

Clive Owen

I could not see this man as Bill Clinton, but looking at his smile in this photo... suddenly I can TOTALLY see it?

Cobie Smulders

She looks great.

Taran Killam

Taran is also in this, as Steve Jones, and I've always liked the two of them together and imagined them as just very talented and happy and chill Canadians who aren't getting all messed up by Hollywood. So I hope that is the case.

Colin Hanks

He really does have Tom's furrow.

Elizabeth Reaser

She plays Kathleen Willey. The dress is, as I suspect many of you would have guessed, The Vampire's Wife. Which I keep accidentally typing as The Vampire's Weekend. That's a whole different situation. Maybe Vampire Weekend can make a kicky soundtrack for the next Vampire's Wife event.

Rae Dawn Chong

This one goes out to all the old-school Television Without Pity recappers, and some observant readers. Also, DAMN, her gold booties are good.

Monica Lewinsky

And, as is fitting, Monica looks great. I've been so impressed with her eloquence over the years, and her willingness to be raw and real about what she went through. I think it's a rare person who would come out of ALL OF THIS, and the ensuing eons of being a punch line, as composed and tough and compassionate as she is.
