Actors on Actors, 2018

Glenn Close and Sam Elliott

This looks like a promo shot for a Netflix show about a couple of retirees who move from Manhattan to Montana and end up solving murders in their spare time, whilst she suffers grave culture shock and he's never been happier.

Lupita Nyong'o

This falls into the Totally Reasonable and Cute category.

Melissa McCarthy

Aw, man. I've got some notes on this one. Like that red and burgundy clash and I wish she'd worn a navy jacket, and that while I myself enjoy my own Birkenstocks and I think that the Long Dress/Fashion Birks look can be successful, there is something...monastic about this that is perplexing.

This dress, btw, has a sassy open back, but I believe she is seated throughout the event, so it's also a SECRET sassy open back.

Armie Hammer

Armie looks totally fine, but might be falling a bit on the wrong side of the Too Casual Compared To Everyone Ele line. (He was paired with Dakota for their chat, and I do think her camel-colored dress will coordinate neatly with his navy blue.)

Amy Adams

This dress is great, and I feel like somewhere in London, Kate Middleton just bought it.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole and Amy were paired up for their chat, and Nicole looks...fine? I feel like the stripe-aspect paired with the camisole under-bits might prove to be visually sort of confusing on a program where you're mostly seeing someone from the waist up.

Lady Gaga

Gaga chatted with Lin-Manuel Miranda, and she looks AWESOME in this. Lady Gaga: Lady Mobster is a development I welcome.

Lin-Manuel Miranda

This is fine! He and Armie clearly texted about what they were going to wear for this thing. (I actually would be interested to know if something like this employs one stylist for everyone, just to avoid someone showing up in a ballgown and someone else showing up in cut-off shorts.) (I also need to confess that I think LMM is a full-on, real proper genius, and he also seems like a good person, and we are lucky to have him in the world BUT I am not sure that I think he's a great actor and I'm a little worried about Mary Poppins II: Popping Off, or whatever it's called.)

Emily Blunt

Speaking of Mary Poppins! This is...fine? I do give her all the extra credit for non-boring shoes.

Felicity Jones

Felicity chatted with Emily, and she looks awesome in this from the ankles up -- please, can we have her wear great lady suits from here on out? However: Those shoes are clear and ergo I must object.

Hugh Jackman

Strong pocket square work here, folks.

Constance Wu

Hugh and Constance Wu were paired up for their chat and all I know is that this dress is swell on her and everything here would have been a teeny tiny bit sweller if she also had a red lip.

Regina King

I have concerns about these trousers, but also I need to confess that I recently dreamed that I owned a pair of pleated pants and Dream Me looked great in them, so....maybe we're all coming around to a further understanding of pleated pants?

Maggie Gyllenhaal

Well, this color is good on her? This surely looks better seated than it does standing. I don't mind the Belted Cardigan thing, but I tend to think it works better when said Cardigan is belted OVER something, like a dress, and not as a Shirt Stand-In.

Regina King and Maggie Gyllenhaal

"See? Charlotte looks like Wills, but I think Louis looks JUST like Kate."

Chadwick Boseman

For one glorious moment, I thought that whatever was happening on the right side of Chadwick's jacket was a MASSIVE pocket protector full of writing implements and I had never loved him more.

Viggo Mortensen

"I implore you, via my shirt, to love me, Fug Nation, even if I am not all dirty."

Yes, this is a dress that Duchess Meghan wore in Australia and I decided that Rosamund Pike is a mega-fan and bought it in a late-night royals-shopping frenzy. IT'S ON SALE!!!!

I'll allow it.

Michael B Jordan and Charlize Theron

Well, now I'm 'shipping them.
