Saoirse Ronan in Chanel
This is a classic Scrolldown Fug for me. It's perfectly reasonable...and then it EXPLODES into Morticia Addams's shower curtain.
Sally Hawkins in Ralph & Russo
This is surprisingly saucy from Sally Hawkins. I like it! Are we working toward an Oscars where she wears a cocktail mini-dress?
Margot Robbie in Givenchy
I think the black dress code -- it was #TimesUp's inaugural event in the UK -- worked in Margot's favor, because I cannot EXACTLY tell what this dress is doing, and I suspect it's not good, and yet because the fabric is so dark, it's hard to say for sure. Just move past us quickly, girl!
Annette Bening
This is very sedate. It feels a bit, "well, I am delighted you remembered me and I'm DEFINITELY not going to win, but I might as well pick up something that will age well and I can wear later in life."
Frances McDormand in Valentino
Apparently, McDormand's speech was about why she didn't wear full-on black; in part she said, "But I want you to know that I stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. I also want to say that I appreciate a well organized act of civil disobedience." (One of the reasons that I personally thought the Duchess of Cambridge should have worn black [a topic that has been quite divisive] is because she wasn't going to win an award, nor be interviewed, so her clothes were going to have to do the speaking for her.) For one moment, I thought her dress was covered in tampons (they are lipsticks) and I was going to be like, "well, THERE is a statement!" Another disappointment for me!
