Julia said the grey hair is "a love letter to getting older" and I assume the outfit is a love letter to her trainer. No shade -- her bod looks amazing. This whole ensemble feels VERY Bond Girl. A Bond Girl in the middle of changing costumes.

Sure! She cracks me up. At least she's never boring.

## Martha Stewart

Martha has thoughts! Also, this is technically brown, not black, which will be a running theme throughout this post, because I gotta get to the eye doctor. Regardless: Martha looks pretty dishy here.

## Lenny Kravitz in LaQuan Smith

In which Lenny Kravitz looks VERY much like the platonic ideal of Lenny Kravitz.

## Kerry Washington

She attended with Law Roach, who took home an honor, and who is currently her stylist. I saw a VERY cute video on her Instagram where she acted as stylist and sorted HIS outfit on the red carpet. I will say that as far as her look goes, I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it. (Although she looks fab from the neck up.)

## Natasha Lyonne in Proenza Schouler

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13611769cf) Natasha Lyonne CFDA Fashion Awards, Arrivals, New York, USA - 07 Nov 2022

This is spectacularly kooky. I used to see her at Proenza shoes a million years ago, so this all tracks. To be clear: I like this on her but it's a very specific marriage of lady and look.

## Amanda Seyfried in Michael Kors

This is elegant. She looks great.

## Cher in Chrome Hearts

This feels like Cher looked at her iconic If I Could Turn Back Time video ensemble and said, "yes, that. Just...a little more coverage."

## Addison Rae in vintage Gareth Pugh

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock (13611769cl) Addison Rae CFDA Fashion Awards, Arrivals, New York, USA - 07 Nov 2022

She's been wearing a lot of vintage lately and while I don't objectively love this as a look, I do love that as a trend for her -- or anyone.

## Ashley Graham

VERY reasonable.

The texture on this tux is actually very cool.

## Olivia Culpo in Et Ochs

This look was originally shown with much more voluminous gloves -- I think they might be denim? I sort of wish she had gone for it.

## Adesuwa Aighewi

She is GORGEOUS and I do have some logistical questions about her shoes?

## Regina Hall in Jason Wu

Also gorgeous, obviously, although this feels a bit Elegant Bridesmaid.

## Jesse Williams

"I borrowed this from Lee Pace. I think it works?"

## Shalom Harlow in Proenza Schouler

This dress is fun -- but also are those shoes part Teva? I know Tevas are back for casual wear but are we moving into a place for Formal Tevas? Sounds very reasonable for all of our feet.

## Mariska Hargitay in Christian Siriano

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2022/11/shutterstock_editorial_13611770eo-1667878797.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (13611770eo) Mariska Hargitay CFDA Fashion Awards, Arrivals, New York, USA - 07 Nov 2022

This does feel VERY Siriano-y. I bet it was fun to wear.

## Justin Theroux

No complaints.

## Vanessa Hudgens in Vera Wang

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock (13611770gn) Vanessa Hudgens CFDA Fashion Awards, Arrivals, New York, USA - 07 Nov 2022

...maybe a few complaints. Although she's obviously feeling it.

## Vera Wang

I do not know what is going through Vera's head at the moment but I will say that this is very eccentric for a 73-year old woman and I appreciate that conceptually if nothing else.

## Jill Kortleve

With a surprise reveal! I truly do not know if I have the emotional fortitude to withstand us entering a period of butt cleavage at this point in history.

## Daphne Groeneveld

Very Hepburn-esque

Not Hepburn-esque at all.

## Bernadette Peters

BP looks very elegant in this, of course. I feel confident that she very likely owns this little number.

## Tinashe in vintage Dior

More vintage! I love that she went for it; this really works on her.

## Bowen Yang

I want someone to fix his lapels! But those shoes with this is an interesting choice -- and one I think I actually quite like.

## Evan Mock

Cue my regular joke about how sometimes Coach messes up and literally sends people out wearing a handbag.

## Zoey Deutch in Coach

This is a MUCH better effort from Coach -- she looks adorable.

Sure! Who is to complain about a velvet skirt cape? NOT I, NOT RIGHT HERE.

The proportions on this are nutty but also? This looks VERY FUN to wear. She looks like a charming cartoon character.

I like this so much better now that I've enlarged it and seen that the boots are PATTERNED. I'm not sure if they match, exactly, but now I want them so....let's call it a draw.

When I say "big finish," I really really REALLY mean BIG FINISH.
