If you click on the little box on the right, with one arrow pointing out of it, this will open in a new window and you can click again to make it (a tiny bit) bigger. It's worth it for the even slightly better resolution on this workmanship. It's VERY Gucci, and very dramatic, and not something that everyone could carry -- but hot damn, does she ever do it. She is STUNNING and she is still completely owning this. No giant bird will steal THAT thunder.

Surprise! The back is sexy.

Leona Lewis in Stephane Rolland

This is hilarious. She looks like a sculpture snagged on her skirt and so she just... took it with her. She ALSO looks like the dress is just sort of standing there on its own and she just walked up and jammed her arms through it for a photo.

Well, obviously, the taupe and the sheers aren't my thing. But there is some beautiful pattern work happening here, even if it does also seems like someone sprayed her with glue and then shot her with a Press-On Nail cannon.

Letitia Wright

Absolutely lovely.

Chadwick Boseman in Givenchy

This is great. Feline detail with a touch of blue sparkle. He's pulling off some really advanced stuff.

Michael B. Jordan

Sometimes, simple can also be effective.

So handsome. I like that the Gucci tiger is the only hint of anything on this outfit. It really draws the eye to it.

John Boyega and Stormzy

I also love the overall joy oozing from these red carpets, both from the people in the movies and those like Boyega and Stormzy who just want to support them. Let no one ever question the importance of representation in pop culture. There's a real feeling of, "It's about goddamn time," with regards to a blockbuster action film built around black actors. These are people who didn't grow up seeing these opportunities offered to anyone who looks like them, and it's going to be so awesome when this movie CRUSHES IT at the box office.
