Hot off a great SAGs, Cara looked wonderful AGAIN. And with her confessional Vogue cover in between, it amps up the feel-good factor. She is very much conveying the message, through her styling, that all is well. I hope it is!

Shirley Kurata in custom Rodarte

This is a custom Rodarte, and she looks AWESOME. Jessica said she looks like a jazzy Edna Mode, and it's extremely true and extremely a compliment.

Salma Hayek in Gucci

I know some thought this was snug, and I get it, but I also think Salma looks SMASHING and this is surprisingly not a given with her. So we celebrate.

Stephanie Hsu in Valentino

She is joy personified, and this was the right big dress for a big moment. Her team has had an EXCELLENT season, and I can't wait to see all of them in action more -- and I include Stephanie in that. She was very funny in her Poker Face episode.

Sandra Oh in Giambattista Valli

In some lights this looks orange, and in others, a rich marigold. Whatever it is, it matches her Harry Winston bling perfectly and is a personal best for Sandra. Or at least it's right up there.

Kerry Condon in Versace

This one is for Fug Nation! Y'all were captivated by her. She DID look lovely, and she is grinning in every photo. What a wild ride this must have been for the woman who thanked her horses and her dogs in her BAFTAs speech.

Monica Barbaro in Elie Saab

Speaking of personal bests, WOWZA.

Angela Basset in Moschino

If Kerry Condon was for Fug Nation, then Angela is for ME. Her dress was more divisive than I expected, but I love that on her.

Sabrina Elba in Stella McCartney

Two words: "hot" and "damn."

Fan Bingbing in Tony Ward

This is so elegant -- for me, it's one of the reigning examples of how to combine a sleek dress with volume.

Tia Carrere in Michael Costello

Wayne Campbell would call her a babe, among other things. This is dishy.

Kartiki Gonsalves in Rahul Mishra, and Guneet Monga

They won for "The Elephant Whisperers," and everyone went wild for Kartiki's dress. All respect to Guneet, who also looks amazing, and they make a fab pair. But the elephant PRINT. That TEXTILE.

Sigourney Weaver

That is also a great material.

Malala Yousafzai

PERFECTION.

Jessica Chastain in Gucci

She was the outgoing Best Actress, and put together a massive movie-star moment here.

Ava DuVernay in Louis Vuitton

Positively regal.

Jennifer Connelly in Louis Vuitton

This was another popular one with Fug Nation. It is certainly a good one from LV, which can be so uneven.

Nicole Kidman in Armani

The Oscars are presented for outstanding individual or collective efforts in filmmaking in 24 categories. Arrivals - 95th Academy Awards, Hollywood, USA - 12 Mar 2023

This is SUCH a major dress for a night where not only was she not nominated, but I can't even remember what she did during the ceremony. It's stunning and dramatic.

Danai Gurira in Jason Wu

Marvelous. The straightforward, perfectly fit gown lets the hair shine all the more. (As a reminder, she called it a tribute to African women who "carry amazing things on their heads with astounding poise at all times.")

Harvey Guillen in Christian Siriano

This is so dashing.

Brian Tyree Henry in D&G

DASHING PART DEUX. Kills me, but D&G did him right.

Harry Shum Jr. in Adeam

DASHING PART 3: A TRILOGY. This was custom, and I thought it was black but now I've seen pics that show it's more of a dark blue? Great no matter what.

Sofia Carson in Giambattista Valli

I think that is a good dress... with FREAKING GREAT emeralds.
