Keke Palmer in Carolina Herrera
I REALLY would have guessed this was Richard Quinn. I don't hate it for Fashion Oscars, but I do feel like Carolina Herrera doesn't NEED to feel like Richard Quinn.
Gigi Hadid in Thom Browne
This is from the show where Thom Browne made jock straps a showpiece, and clearly she is in one. Sadly, she did not also employ the anchor on her face. It is hard to take this seriously off the runway (or even on it); the CFDAs don't really need it to be taken seriously, which is good, but this is DEFINITELY one of the more capital-F FASHION outfits in here and so it ends up looking more out of place than it probably is.
Halle Bailey in Carolina Herrera
Wes Gordon got Herrera a lot of placements here. This is really pretty on her, even if I find the design underwhelming and like a repurposed bedsheet.
Precious Lee
I'm guessing this is also Thom Browne. I enjoy that she looks like she's going shopping in her bathrobe.
I enjoy LESS the catsuit, although at least it's breathable.
Natalia Bryant in Tom Ford
Stunning!
Minnie Mills in Bach Mai
Oooh, okay. Millie (from "The Summer I Turned Pretty") got a Bach Mai that's like... 80 percent gorgeous, 20 percent in desperate need of a hoik and a better bodice.
Law Roach
Law got an award for his styling -- the first ever at the CFDAs -- and I didn't have a credit for this as of press time, but I would GUESS Oscar or Carolina? It's very grand. I'm into it.
Katie Holmes in Jonathan Simkhai
Okay, what's weird here is that I can easily trick my eyes into thinking her feet are on backwards, because you can tell yourself that you're tracing the leg on the right from hip to knee to ground all on that side. Does that make sense? Anyway. This is a mesh bag, but it's also a bit more interesting than she usually goes, so... there's that? Metallic shoes, though, Katie. Get some.
Candace Bushnell
There's some lovely work on this. It didn't need the sheer patch, except that I guess everything does.
Marisa Tomei in Gabriela Hearst
I feel like the bra top with suits isn't AS omnipresent as it once was, so I'm not pulling my hair out the same way I would have been in... whenever that was? March? All spring? I lived in a different country then. Time HAS NO MEANING WHEN WAS ANYTHING. Ahem. Anyway, she looks super.
Heidi Gardner
This looks SO MUCH like an outfit I wore in my 7th grade musical to play a princess, except mine was mint green and had a silver thing at the waist. MEMORIES. It's jazzy!
Grace Van Patten in Tom Ford
Well, of the Ford Hoods, I prefer Natalia's. I didn't need an ACTUAL hoodie feel.
Christina Ricci in Rodarte
So on the surface this is WAY TOO twee for me, but I also think she looks fantastic. Very much like she walked out of a magic garden, so I guess that's one of the first times Rodarte's whole signature THING has worked for me.
Carolyn Murphy in Oscar de la Renta
Sure! Watch where you sit, Carolyn.
Conan Gray
Those shorts are like cousins to Olivia Culpo's pants. They're what you'd get if the thigh belts actually were fastening something removable.
Diane von Furstenberg
Diane wearing what I BELIEVE is her own face, is pretty iconic.
