Salma Hayek in Gucci

This is custom, and THANK GOD, they're finally doing stuff for her that's divine. Salma looks like a queen.

Viola Davis in Armani

This is clearly an homage to Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor, and I will have NO OTHER EXPLANATION. Also, Viola wins.

Olivia Colman

Well, I'm not sure I love this sleeve length on Olivia. But it feels a bit regal and mildly stuffy, and she IS a double monarch now (QE2 and Queen Anne), so it tracks. What I love is that the train is two-tone...

... and it looked super when she walked. All hail. I love her and she's renewed my enthusiasm for The Crown. Which is coming back... eventually.

This is garish in a way that I find CRAZY effective on her. The neckpiece is part of the dress, not a separate loaner, and Cate is giving it cachet that I'm not sure everyone could. And I have to say, I think brunette Cate sells it better than if she'd still been blonde. I don't know why, but it might be that it creates a kind of sandwich effect of dark, sparkles, dark.

Thandie Newton in Valentino

I was all set to love this deeply, but the flashbulbs seem to have crept inside the bodice.

Melissa McCarthy

Slick and sleek. I love that her lipstick plays off the closure on her clutch; this is well-accessorized indeed. She's sneakily had a superb awards run, fashion-wise.

Amy Jackson

I will confess that I am not sure who she is -- IMDb doesn't list much I recognize except some Supergirl -- but that necklace is divine, and the dress sets it off wonderfully. Max impact, minimum fuss.

Danai Gurira in Thom Browne

Well I am definiely not inspired by this. It's like Thom Browne's Morticia Addams collection.

Glenn Close

She looks great, and yet also as if she has the most beautiful gangrene the world has ever known.

Elizabeth Debicki in Armani

I am not sure what sin her floppy-brimmed hat committed, but she REALLY punished it.

Sophie Okonedo in Oscar de la Renta

It's not my favorite Oscar, but it's nice, and she's put good shoes with it.

Irina Shayk

That is... the tiniest peep of peep-toe I've ever seen.

Letitia Wright in Stella McCartney

I can't decide which suit I like better, but the collar on this one is definitely neater.

Linda Cardellini in Paolo Sebastian

This, on its own, is such a boring throwaway situation. The designer showed it with the MOST glorious maroon and gold cape, and perfect shoes, and if Linda had worn that we'd be swooning.

Rachel Weisz in Gucci

We began with a great custom Gucci, and we ended with a dismal one. I don't have a sense of what Rachel Weisz's style is, exactly, but I would not have picked Musty Olden Times Bridal Nightie.
