Elton John Party: The Black and White of it All

Saweetie

You forgot to close the blinds, friend!

Ashley Benson

Everyone is hot for ladders right now.

Tara Dollinger

Tara is the wife of a SoCal philanthropist from what I can tell, but I could not resist warning you that this style of dress wants to claw back into the conversation.

"Back" pun wholly intended.

Billy Porter

The outfit is whatever, but I LOVE that Billy added MAJOR JEWELS.

I appreciate the inherent drama in this, but it feels a bit TOO My Kim Kardashian Pinterest Board for me.

Karrueche Tran

The Crows Have Eyes X: The Crows Melted

Daniele Lawson

She's 18, I think, and the cut is a little matronly for an 18-year old. But she as a person is lovely.

Abigail Spencer

More boob-grope clothes!

Maria Bakalova

It's hard to argue with a well-cut ball gown, even if I do wish people picked color over black more often.

Ed Harris

The forever dreamboat.

Casey Affleck and Caylee Cowan

Casey is a person I sincerely forgot existed, and I am not sure how. I looked at him and was like, "I know that face..." YES. HE'S AN OSCAR WINNER. Anyway, Caylee's dress is super -- I am loving the green this season.

Rainey Qualley

This is great. The shortness of the skirt works with the sleeves being long -- it has such a mod feel.

Christina Milian

Whereas this is just a giant siiiiiigh.

Michaela Jae Rodriguez

This works! The detailing reminds me of a butterfly.

Erika Christensen

Jessica loves a big ruffle, so this is for her.

Christina Ochoa

The color of THIS dress is, "Why?"

Tayshia Adams

And the color of THIS dress is, "NOT YOU TOO."

Emily Hampshire

This looks grey but it actually a very tight black and white check. She is very cool.

Ronen Rubenstein

He plays Rob Lowe's son on 911 Rob Lowe, and the boxy proportions here are a good reminder for dudes not to go with boxy proportions.

Sarah Jones

Psst. Sarah. The field day portion of the events is over; you can fully take off the garbage bag and stop hopping everywhere.

Melanie Lynskey, Jason Ritter

Ooh, Melanie also had a two-outfit night! I prefer the green caftan from the VF party -- and hope the bangs are a clip-in -- but this is cute too, and she was correct to save the better dress for the better party.

Chris Pine

He is a billionaire environmentalist who has been living up in a tree in order to understand nature. It didn't really work, but he thinks it did.
