Zendaya in vintage Valentino
The dress obviously looks great on her, but I think it's underbaked overall? She has a lot of personal oomph, obviously, but even so this is a little flat to me. This is from Valentino's 1992 spring/summer show, and on the next slide you can see how it looked on the runway...
Claudia Schiffer, Karen Mulder, Valentino, Linda Evangelista
Linda over there has big earrings, big arm cuffs, and that shock of red hair. So much could have been done. Law is going through it right now due to his family tragedy, but I firmly believe Zendaya could have figured out some accessories on her own.
Hunter Schafer in Prada
This has a Little Women vibe. Like... Sexy Marmee, or That Time Jo Fell Asleep in Her Garret and Laurie Found Herand Got a Load of That Collarbone and Wanted To Wake Her Up and Make Out (a scene that I just invented, but probably happened).
Sydney Sweeney in Miu Miu
This aesthetic is the woman who throws a pandemic wedding on an island, expresses surprise that half the guests got sick, and then tries to get a sponsorship from Robitussin. Her wedding hashtag would be #LivinLaCovidaLoca
Alexa Demie
This is custom Balenciaga, which I actually was able to guess solely from the stretchy bootaloons, so thank you to my memory banks for coming through this one time. She looks nice, but also perhaps undercooked? Lipstick, a necklace, bracelets? We need a little extra visual interest to ice the cake.
Maude Apatow in Saint Laurent
Today I learned -- or, more accurately, today I was probably just reminded and hopefully will now remember -- that Maude Apatow is on Euphoria. This dress is... really trying so very hard, but failing to be interesting. (The whole look feels a bit like Alison Brie to me.) I do have to give her credit for the lippy.
Colman Domingo
He is such a treat, usually. I wish SOMETHING here was a color, rather than the dreaded cream-and-white.
Austin Abrams
I recognize him from last season of This Is Us (which I just realized I never actually finished), but I guess he was in Dash & Lily too, AND is in this. That hit of red is the right idea, sir.
Jacob Elordi
I appreciate the idea, but those boots are sort of silly. They make me think of that cringey scene in Vacation where Chevy Chase puts on the white croc loafers to go impress Christie Brinkley.
Dominic Fife in Saint Laurent
It's possible that the ruffled shirt AND the brocade jacket were too much together, but he looks so nice, and at least THAT gives some visual spice to a monochrome situation. That, and his green hair.
Angus Cloud in Versace
SPEAKING OF SPICE. Angus says, "Pumpkin spice season is YEAR ROUND FOR ME."
