Amal went full glitz last year; this is more toned-down, but still really beautiful. Her hair and makeup are looking especially good.

In case you want a closer look. She's really radiant.
Amal and George and Baria

Also, here's a reminder that Amal's mother is also a babe.
Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig

That's stunning -- it looks like a stained-glass window in dress form.
Jodie Turner-Smith in Balmain

That's ALSO so strong on her. She's always a Balmain fan, very brand loyal -- one of the few not in Versace, a co-sponsor of the event -- and here they repaid her for that with a lovely spin on a suit.
Anne Hathaway in Versace

This is neither my favorite color scheme, nor my favorite bodice. We're going to see Anne later today in a gold dress that I like much better. I'm not sure what color I would prefer in here. A darker green, instead of mint?
Viola Davis

This is firmly in her wheelhouse, and yep, it works every time.
Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig

Her dress looks like speeding through space and watching the galaxy fly by.
Kate Moss

I am sure I'm just a prude and a crank, but I'm okay with saying: I don't think a hint of nip is the right play for a humanitarian awards event. Not to mention all the sheers. This whole dress is a wisp of a thing.
Nina Dobrev in Versace

I have a similar note about this. But that might just be that I'm also so tired of this basic design.
Shaun White

Shaun seems delighted by it, though.
Andra Day

Oooh, the texture on that is superb.
Luciana Barroso and Matt Damon

How did Ben Affleck and J.Lo not turn up at this, with their boy Matt? I SUPPOSE I can allow for people to have other things going on in their lives, but I was ready for a J.Lo dress. Anyway, these two delivered, as usual. Luciana always does.
Emily Blunt, John Krasinski

I'm not sure I'm feeling the half-updo?
Sofia Vergara

She went back to pants. Love the sparkles on this.
Heidi Klum

I mostly like this. The black boob cups are a little severe, but the beading on the front is gorgeous, and the black sides are sleek. The thing is, as much as I complain about her weird fashion sense, I will be DELIGHTED when she goes off the wall again. But in the meantime, yay for elegance.

Here's the whole dress, by the way. For whatever reason, at the time I wrote this, a proper full shot of Heidi alone hadn't come in yet, so you get to see some smooches instead.
Jon Stewart

Nice tie, Jon.
Mary J. Blige

That fringe HAS to be irritating?!?
John Oliver and Kate Norley

John's wife is a babe, I have missed him on TV, and they're both nailing it here. (Actually, one of the reasons I miss John is that I had to stop watching. His show was too upsetting because he covers so much important stuff and I know it'll never sway the people it needs to.)
Julianna Margulies in Versace

Is this a tiny bit bridesmaid-y?
Stephanie March

Simple and stunning.
Bart Freundlich and Julianne Moore

So many of these people must have taken a red-eye out of Paris. Maybe that's why Julianne kept it so straightforward.
Scarlett Johansson

I will forget this before I even go to the next slide.
Mare Winningham, Anthony Edwards

Their love continues to delight me.

That's stunning! Best turned-out gent for sure.
AnnaSophia Robb

I don't like that this pattern is deliberately formed around making it look like those are her black underpants.
Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford (in Versace)

I guess Donatella wants the safety pin to be a calling card, but it worked once SO MEMORABLY that I think here it just seems like a sad echo.
Michaela Jae Rodriguez

So many strings!

His grin always makes me smile at my screen. It's potent.
