Cynthia Erivo in Thom Browne

I kind of enjoy this Chanel dupe on her, but those shoes are seven kinds of bananas. The red, white, and blue ribbon is discordant, though, and then of course there is...

... the small matter of the heels. A variation on this has popped up occasionally on runways over the years -- am I right that Marc Jacobs did it, and possibly first? -- but you hardly ever see them in the wild. They look like a manufacturing accident.

Kerry Washington in Veronica Beard

She is dressed as a 1970s kitchen. (She looks good as a 1970s kitchen, though.)

Florence Pugh in Salvatore Ferragamo

That skirt is gathering in a weird way, which is probably intentional but which makes ME think of static cling. The boots are interesting. They're like a cross between argyle and a linoleum floor.

Awkwafina is in a movie called The Farewell; it came out in August, and supposedly it's getting her some very dark-horse buzz, which would be VERY exciting. I like this, but I might have same issue that I did with Kristen Bell's color-blocked coat -- the belt might also have needed the blocking (but in contrast to the frock).

Jon Hamm

Jon, who otherwise looks a little shaggier than usual, borrowed that jacket from the Maitre d'.

Sterling K. Brown

"No worries, Jon, I have TIGHT PANTS COVERED tonight."

Jimmie Fails

Jimmie starred in The Last Black Man in San Francisco, a June release. He has such a charming smile and every item of clothing he's wearing seems like it shrank in the wash.
