Heidi Klum in Versace
This is really peak Heidi, if we are referring to the top of Mount Wackenhut. It is all of her worst instincts chewed up and spat into a limp pile of cud.
Danielle Brooks in Siriano
This was a much better hit of color, and Christian gave her some froof to work with on the red carpet, too. Just a BIT. I love it.
Kiernan Shipka in Dior
This child was so lovely and carried herself so well, always, but got stuck in a really lame Dior. I look at this and wonder if they sent the base dress, and her parents were like, "HA HA HA HA, AS IF," and quickly tossed in some pants and stapled on a tulle panel over her chest just to make it less likely to drop.
Teyonah Parris in Francesca Miranda
Conversely, THIS is a cute dress that she modeled into something great. She worked it perfectly.
Heidi
Blergh.
Ellie Kemper in Naeem Khan
But lo! Such sparkly stripey sweetness!
Amy Schumer in Zac Posen
I think we and Fug Nation agreed that this just felt undercooked and needed a hoik, and that she deserved better -- but I tossed it in here because the beans were offering some commentary on the original slideshow, and Liam HATED this dress for reasons he couldn't articulate. That would horrify him now, because you know who Amy Schumer's biggest fans are? My sons. We stumbled on Amy Schumer Learns To Cook on the Food Network, and they think she and Chris are the bee's knees. They barely even understand half her jokes but they just think it's the best thing to have on during dinner. (I will say, I enjoy the homespun style of the show, and their relationship seems really healthy and good, and their son is cute.)
Jaimie Alexander in Armani
THIS, though. Fantastic.
January Jones in Ulyana Sergeenko
Sexy Gumby is the version of Sexy Tootsie that no one needed.
Aubrey Plaza in Alexandre Vauthier
Sleek and super. And very NORMAL for a Vauthier.
Julianne Hough in Marchesa
This dress was prescient of DARK TIMES for Georgina and Co.
Judith Light in Zac Posen
I love that fabric so much. The pairing of the blouse with it is unusual, but Judith makes it work.
GAH.
Sarah Paulson in custom Prabal Gurung
We so often see custom gowns that have fit issues, it seemed worthy then -- and now -- to celebrate one that got it very right.
Nazanin Boniadi
Boob hankies are not a thing.
Laverne Cox in CK
This was CK at its best -- really crisp and well tailored, with limited twists.
IT BURNS.
Zoe Kazan in Miu Miu
This is still my very favorite thing she's ever worn. it is how I picture her always. It's charming as hell.
Anna Chlumsky
She had a rough go, between this and the 2016 outfit. It's just a very lackluster execution of an already weirdly spiderwebby concept.
Samira Wiley in Calvin Klein
She is an unsung red carpet star.
Tweety Bird WAS always super annoying, so.
Viola Davis in Carmen Marc Valvo
Show 'em how it's done, Viola.
Kathryn Hahn
Kathryn can show me how many, many things are done, but not perhaps shopping.
Teyonah Parris
One more of her for the road.
AND ONE MORE FOR YOUR NIGHTMARES.
THIS is how you do it, Heidi.
