We didn't get any solo shots of anyone from Parasite, which is annoying. We put them in this post because the majority of them are wearing black. Basically, all of them look pretty damn good. Jo Yeo-jeong's necklace is AMAZING, and Park So-dam looks fab in that pink.)

Brad Pitt

I mean. A classic.

This is lovely and unimpeachable and none of us will remember this in three weeks. This is what you wear when there isn't the slightest change in hell that you will win.

Margot Robbie in vintage Chanel

This is vintage -- or, well, archival. It's from the 90s. It seems like more people wore vintage or sustainable fashion tonight than they did at the BAFTAs, where the dress code requested it, and I wonder if they were just not able to get it together in time for last week. ANYWAY. This has a fun witchy vibe, but her bodice kept drifting down and I suspect that pin, which is rad, was super heavy.

This is too cute.

This is good on her! It must be terribly fun to get to swoop around in such a giant skirt.

Penelope Cruz in Chanel

Chanel dressed a LOT of people last night. This is new, but it's based on a Chanel dress from 1995. (Why she didn't just wear the 1995 dress is a mystery; it may not have fit and they didn't want to alter it.) I am not loving the pearl waist detailing but, look: It's Penelope Cruz. She looks great. (Whoever is in charge of her Facial Upkeep is a treasure.)

The high-low skirt is pretty rad.

Adam Driver and Joanne Tucker

She looks SUPERB; she's had a great run this awards season, being supportive and looking fantastic. (He'll get one eventually.)

Kelly Ripa in Siriano, Mark Consuelos

This is pleasantly dramatic on her and also she took it off IMMEDIATELY and was wearing something totally different inside the venue, for reasons that are a complete mystery.

Geena Davis in Romona Keveza

This had pockets!

This is FAB on her; what a perfect dress to wear to make history as the first women to ever win for best score. (Which is insane, but better late than never.) (OKAY! This is apparently not technically EXACTLY true because the history of this award is complex and the name keeps changing.)

Tamron Hall

I LOVE Tamron so much -- and I am slightly confused by her very large neck doily.

Alfie Allen

I appreciate that, at some point, someone told Alfie Allen to always shoot his cuffs in photos. It always makes him look like he's modeling his blazer. WHICH HE IS!

Elvira Lind and Oscar Isaac

HELLO LOVER. (Also, Elvira looks dishy!)

Finneas O'Connell and Claudia Sulewesk

Finneas is Billie Eilish's brother/producer/piano man, and really I'm including them because his girlfriend looks great.

Margaret Qualley in Chanel

Margaret Qualley has a deal with Chanel and they have a tendency to get her looks that feel a tiny bit harsh on her; this is pretty, but if I were her stylist I think I'd go more foofy on her.

Kathy Bates

Elegant -- and her red lip is perfect.

Sure! Fine! Whatever!

BIG FINISH.
