This is certainly striking -- although I am surprised to see two [full white outfits](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/challengers-premiere/challengers-paris-premiere-at-ugc-normandie?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) back-to-back -- and the jewelry is perfect. I have notes: I think I would prefer it if it buttoned RIGHT over her navel, and if it were pants, maybe? Because this outfit poses well...

... but I think it looks clunky in motion. Which is not the primary concern with red carpet photos, but seeing it made me wonder what tweaks it needed.

THIS is why she's a Bulgari model, though. They could just use this pic if they wanted to.

This is very straightforward, and also looks like his stylist turned to him right before he hit the carpet and messed up his hair before shoving him out there.

## Josh O'Connor

He started doing his hair this way a year ago -- spiky, all combed forward -- and I don't think it suits him? I did, however, based on this photo, decide he should play Michael Phelps.

Yet again, this is custom, and very clearly a play on a tennis dress. I think being literal quite so often is going to get tiresome -- with everyone, not just her -- but I do also think some of the individual pieces are nice, and this is well done and perfect on her. The only thing I think I'd change is make the shoes match the light silver sparkle of the dress, I think? Because the white is close-but-not-quite in a way that's a tiny bit distracting.

She does over-the-shoulder smolder so, so well, and this angle also reveals the fullness of the shoe delights.

This is hilarious to me, and very kicky. There is a subtle violence to the way the heels pierce the tennis balls that feels like it's speaking to *Sexy Tennis*'s psychosexual drama.

Absolutely not. Right? This is eating him whole.

It's BETTER with the coat off? But the sweater still feels a little dated. Meanwhile Mike Faist continues to be like, "No, it's cool, I went ham at Banana Republic last week, I'll be fine." This is not an insult.
