The glasses with it made me giggle.

This has aspirations of being that cool, but it cannot live up to those dreams. She looks like she's in an interpretive theater group that performs for cults.
Julianne Moore in Bottega Veneta

Okay! This is a very fine execution of some basic basics.

This seems like about as neutral a deployment of neutrals as Thom Browne will do.

And this is a profoundly UN-neutral deployment of neutrals.

As is this, but I don't always dig the proportions she chooses so I want to say I think she got this one right.
Janelle James in Tory Burch

This is so relaxed and cute.

This is also fine! I wish she'd edged it out a little, maybe with a red leather boot or something.
Greta Gerwig in Stella

That's as leggy as Greta gets, isn't it? It's nice on her but also ever so slightly Groovy Nun.
Ayo Edebiri in Versace

Delightful.

I like some elements of this, like the sleeves, but somehow the hemline looks like the lining's hem ripped and it's falling out.

Tough, tough fabric, in a tough color.
Jeffrey Wright

Better, even if less overtly snazzy.

That's not a great color on her, and the shoes hurt ME.

He is handsome. Go with me here: Arian and Jason Mantzoukas as... cousins?
Elizabeth Debicki in Ralph Lauren

This whole thing is timeless and simple and works very nicely for a tea party at whatever time of day.

Scrollllllldown. I am missing her pants, and I wish I were missing her socks and shoes.
