Fiona Shaw and Jodie Comer
All hail these two queens, and Fiona Shaw's remarkable clutch/lipstick powers. I'm going to make this my holiday card.
Jodie Comer in Stella McCartney
This is dishy. (And EXCELLENT achievement in braceletry.)
Keeley Hawes
She's gorge, and this fits like a dream, but the styling might be a leeeeeetle stuffy? (She's only 43.)
Maya Jama
"Congregants, today's hymn is found on page 76 of your hymnal. It is called Lord I Long For Lining. We will be singing all seven verses." (Love that necklace, though.)
Phoebe Waller-Bridge
I told you we had more than one Arm Cape! I suspect this will be divisive, but I love how severe this is.
Jane Krakowski
"Everyone! Have you heard of PLEATS!?!? I've just now discovered them and I am IN LOVE."
Camilla Kerslake
Wikipedia tells me this woman is a singer, but also is worried that her Wiki page relies too much on primary sources. All I know is that this dress is good on her.
Mo Gilligan and Lolly Adefope
This dress is DELIGHTFUL.
Sarah-Jane Crawford
And this is pretty divine.
Jennifer Metcalfe
She is on the British soap Hollyoaks and I love this suit on her. I also really just wanted to share this paragraph that sums up the various shenanigans of her character, because it encapsulates why I love soap operas so much. This is from her character's Wiki page, but (very) lightly edited for clarity. Ahem:
"Following the revelation of her affair with Carl on her wedding day to Riley, Mercedes was at the centre of a kidnapping storyline when she was held against her will by Riley's grandfather, serial killer Silas Blissett, before going into labour, giving birth to a boy as a result of the stress. Following her ordeal, Mercedes briefly turned to prostitution. When Mitzeee grows close to Riley, Mercedes begins to stalk her. During the culmination of the plot, in “pure desperation” Mercedes stabs herself and Mitzeee is blamed. Mercedes' friend, Lynsey Nolan, discovers Mercedes' stalking of Mitzeee and stabbing of herself. Lynsey is later murdered in a “whodunit” storyline, with Mercedes becoming a suspect in her murder. It is later revealed the Mercedes' partner Doctor Browning killed Lynsey to protect Mercedes and in October 2013, Mercedes, Cindy Cunningham, and Lindsey Butterfield, attacked, murdered and covered up the murder of Doctor Browning. In the run-up to her 2014 departure, Mercedes was...mourning for her sister Carmel following a train crash, which Mercedes was also involved in. Since her return in February 2015, her storylines have included reuniting with her family, her relationship with Joe and delivering a stillborn son named Gabriel, exposing Lindsey as the Gloved Hand Killer, Silas returning and targeting her again, and her feud with Joanne Cardsley over Joe, who later dies during the show's “Halloween Spooktacular” episodes." You guys had me at Spooktacular.
Bel Powley
"Would anyone be interested in casting ME as a Laura Ashley-obsessed ghost who is haunting the local outlet mall? No? Hello?"
Emily Atack
This dress is very charming.
Emma Mackey
This is good, too. If I had been her stylist, I might have given her a colorful clutch -- green, maybe? -- just for a little bit of zing.
Jodie Whittaker
This is pleasantly caftanic and cool.
Nina Toussaint-White
She looks awesome in this -- maybe a little too daytime? But mostly just rad. This is really well styled.
Billie Piper
One of the British tabloids called this RISQUE!!!! and I don't particularly like it, but it doesn't make me want to take to my bed or anything.
Ruth Wilson
This is DISHY on Ruth!
Helen McCrory
We have a running joke here that we're going to have to run a poll at the end of the year to determine the best Sexy Tootsie look of 2019 -- well, it's both a joke and also I'm actually going to write that. But I feel like we might also need to run a poll to see who pulled off the best salute to the shelved Moira Rose masterwork The Crows Have Eyes III.
James Norton and Julia Stiles
These two just presented together -- she's married to someone else -- but it was thrilling for that hot second when we all thought they were dating. (Also, FYI, I just discovered that James Norton is playing John Brooke in the Greta Gerwig Little Women, which is....amazingly perfect piece of casting. I can barely stand how perfect it is.)
Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter
This is ACES on Sophie.
Daisy May Cooper
Madame! I salute you! But the Met Gala was LAST week.
