Get ready for a melange of groovy suits. This is what I like to imagine I'll look like getting off a plane; it is NEVER the reality.

I recall the gown she wore under this -- coming up next -- but I don't know if I ever saw this coat. It's good.
2018 in Armani Prive

Also slinky and fabulous. (She eventually transformed this into a jumpsuit, which is also cool.)
2019 in Armani

She DOES love Armani. This is objectively good, and also for a second I thought she was Jennifer Lawrence? Which is odd.

Love the sneaks with this. Especially getting on and off a water taxi.
2020

Speaking of which, I resent not currently being in Venice myself.

This is fun and a little kooky and very vaguely Tilda Swinton of her -- mostly the hair. Note: She wore a face mask for all events this year but took some photos without them, and those are the ones I bought. I just could not look at the masks again. She was the president of the jury in 2020; it was the year almost her looks were rewears.

I remember this one so well! (She originally wore it for a premiere of Carol.)
2020 in McQueen

And she originally wore this top -- with a black skirt -- to the BAFTAs in 2016. I'd love her to wear this one again this year.

The jacket here feels like a bit of an afterthought.

This is unforgettable as well, due to being absolutely completely bonkers.

She originally wore this in Cannes; it's hard to find fault with this one. This feels like a dress you'd buy and wear forever.

This one is A HIT, I'd LOVE to see this one again. It's so fantastic.

This is sort of mod-futuristic and the wackiest part to me are the fasteners on the pants.

She's wearing a lot of diamonds and yet my note is still, MORE DIAMONDS.

The back of it is very cool, though. Like Gary Oldman's Dracula hair...but chic.

2024 was a Big Sleeve year, for sure.

This is excellent on her and I also briefly thought she was Renee Zellweger. Maybe Renee should go for something like this next time.

I forgot she wore so much LV last year; proof once again that they can do right by celebs if they try.
