Austin Butler

We have a longstanding joke that I am Elvis reincarnated, because I was born on the exact Death Day. And I DO love peanut butter. So, I'm excited for myself that Austin's rendition of me is getting good reviews. I'm concerned he might be a little Method though because at the Billboards (I think) he did his whole interview sounding a lot more like Elvis than he did in the Carrie Diaries. Let the King go, Austin! Release me! I give you permission.

in Celine

In case you need the whole suit. It's very standard. I think... it would have been HILARIOUS if he'd come in something more Elvis-adjacent, but probably for the best that he reined himself in. Although a leather suit... some studs... maybe he'll bust it out Stateside.

Olivia DeJonge (she plays Priscilla)

Vogue says this is Gucci, so I shall trust it. I like that it looks retro, and floaty, in a real Old Hollywood way. But, am I crazy, or is she not QUITE carrying this? It might be that the head-styling isn't on the same level as the dress. But it seems like it's wearing her a little.

Although, bonus points for this angle, and the skirt carried like that when she walked in it, too.

Sidebar, something about this angle of her walking down the stairs in those GIANT platforms gives me anxiety. I hold my breath when I see it because I expect teetering, even though I know she was totally fine.

Austin and Tom Hanks

It's Elvis and the Colonel. Tom looks nice. I miss seeing Rita.

This is some David S. Pumpkins shit right here.

Natasha Bassett in Antonio Grimaldi (she plays Dixie Locke)

This feels like a sloppy attempt to ride the Valentino coattails (on the part of the designer, I mean, not on Natasha).

But, we have another major skirt moment.

Ricky Martin

"Hello! Anyone need a cup of life?"

Kaia Gerber in Celine

Celine seemed like an unusual choice for Austin, but if Kaia is wearing it too, then it makes a bit more sense to me -- I'm sure they went together. She looks nice! I know people want to compare it to sleek red dresses Cindy has worn, but honestly, I think... it's just a red dress she liked. Not EVERYTHING is a nod to everything else.

This was a very awkward kiss. It's more of a smoosh than a smooch. This is why movies block these things.

Deepika Padukone in Louis Vuitton

Amazing. When Louis Vuitton is on, it is ON. I am so delighted by this. She looks like an evil plant.

Rebecca Hall in Chanel

Well, there are worse Chanels. But there are also WAY better ones.

Noomi Rapace in Dries Van Noten

HERE WE GO. This is serving Wildly Rich and Eccentric Society Dame and that is exactly right.

Kylie Minogue in Versace

Ehhh. As usual I think we'd be better off seeing more actual dress, and less of the construction of the dress.

Catherine Martin, Lillian and Baz Luhrmann

The family Luhrmann seems excited. Lillian is working a LOT more under/side boob than I would at one of my dad's work parties, although he worked for an oil company so it would have been extra scandalous.

Baz

In case you forgot: ELVIS.

Sharon Stone in D&G

She is all in on D&G, that is for sure.

Casey Affleck, Caylee Cowan

So, for a long time all the photo services labeled Caylee as Summer Phoenix, and I am not familiar with the non-Joaquin Phoenixes, so I got tricked by that. Apparently they had a horrendous divorce? WHERE WAS I. Anyway. Everyone looks nice here, if unexpectedly plaintive on Casey's part.

Alton Mason

He'll be Little Richard, but the suit feels more Little Straitjacket. (The shoes are least have verve.)

Shakira in Mônot

I miss her curls! She looks nice -- note the onmipresent gloves -- and if you're thinking this is the least revealing, most typical Mônot you've ever seen...

... then you're MOSTLY right. Even with some butt cleavage, it's still the most tame Mônot in a while.

Pixie Lott

The skirt has so much going for it, and there was no steam left for the bodice.

Priscilla Presley

So, I gather this move was made with Priscilla's blessing -- possibly also her input -- because she's attended every event for it. Therefore, I have little hope that it will delve into and interrogate the fact that her relationship with Elvis started when she was, what, 14? Or at least that's when they met and he became besotted, if I remember right, and her family encouraged it, which all seems like a potent thing to examine. We'll see!

Emmanuelle Beart

She looks like THE most unimpressed fashion editor.

Maneskin

Damiano David's gold suit is GREAT.

Wallis Day

It's not my dream cut, but that fabric is awesome and might make up for it. I hope I'm taking good notes on where we're seeing all these gloves, for a year-end roundup.

Noomi had to have the last word.

Elvis Is In The Building

Will you love him tender?
