I love how she often wears slightly less well known labels, and this is VERY cool on her. It's delightfully soap operatic -- and, bonus, she was probably also nice and warm in it.

This is custom and it's a bit of a thud for me. Some of that might be down to styling? This may have needed a long, romantic hair situation.

Sharon Horgan

I generally think she is great, and ergo I need someone to do better by her than this! I GET it, but I just don't think it translated very well.

Elle Fanning in Alexander McQueen

CONVERSELY, I love this. Don't be mad at me! (Or be mad, I can't control your feelings!) This is theatrical as hell and she is working it.

This is also theatrical! Fun fact, we also recently saw something from this collection on Zoe Kazan -- Rochas on the red carpet is always a pleasant surprise because it's so unusual. Devery looks cool.

Eve Hewson in Cong Tri

I just can't stop thinking about how annoying it would be to have your arm tied to your torso all night.

Matt Smith

This looks says both "I wish I'd been cast as Elvis" AND "I'm coming for you, Eddie Redmayne."

Amber Midthunder

She looks gorgeous.

Angela Bassett (in Christian Siriano) and Courtney B. Vance

Courtney B. Vance seems like such a devoted spouse (in addition to, of course, an acting powerhouse in his own right). I'm not sure I'm in love with this dress, which feels a little bit like it's a series of velvet scrunchies....but Angela herself looks AMAZING and that bag is perfect.

Madelyn Cline in Givenchy

Hard to argue with this one.

Kaley Cuoco (in Dior) and Tom Pelphrey

This feels like Kaley has rightly decided that it's time for her to be comfy and not worry about winning.

Diego Luna

Super dapper, as usual.

Henry Golding

Oooh, I think this might actually be teal? Regardless: Dreamboat.

Nina Hoss

Also big dreamboat vibes!

Annie Potts

Listen... I LOVE this.

Sarah Hyland in Stella McCartney

This feels....fine? I'm concerned she will regret the bangs in the fullness of time. Great bracelets, though.

Kelsey Asbille in Saint Laurent

Also highly reasonable and very elegant.

Jessie Buckley

Honestly? This is one of my favorite things she's ever worn.

Rachel Bloom in Christian Siriano

I LOVE her but I'm not sure the Lil Neck Thing Attached To Her Neckline totally works? I'm VERY into the idea of Rachel Bloom low-key styling herself like a Robert Palmer Girl, though. (And her bag is actually tiny black and white checks, which is VERY cute.)

Ayo Edebiri in Thom Browne

Well! I think this is cute and fun -- if perhaps a little too much of a muchness -- but all her pics that I saw had the vibe of a woman thinking, "DO I REGRET THIS???"
