Rita Ora in Mugler

This is extremely dramatic. It's like someone decided to see what would happen if Maleficent and Glinda the Good Witch had a baby.

Rita Ora in Mugler

I feel like I keep saying this about Rita, but I wish she'd save some of these looks for higher profile events. This is nuts but it's MEGA EYE-CATCHINGLY nuts. But maybe Rita doesn't get to GO to higher profile events. This is the conundrum in being Rita Ora!!

Claire Foy in Alexander McQueen

I will never understand the recent upswing in popularity of this style, which I like to call Help, My Dress Is Melting. The sleeves floating past her hands alone are ridiculous; it's like this gown is designed to make her look like a child playing dress-up. Don't intentionally infantilize yourselves, ladies.

Jenna Coleman in Dior

This is also, frankly, heinous to me. It's like two of her Victoria costumes got thrown into blender and poured over her head.

Cressida Bonas

I don't love the cut of this bodice -- I think it's trying to be blouson but didn't go far enough -- but goodness, Cressy is looking lovely lately. 

Letitia Wright in Chanel

"I'm starting to regret making this deal with Chanel, if I may be frank."

Joely Richardson

This is pretty, but ALSO so girlish as to be veering toward child-like. It's like a high fashion version of an old-fashioned nightgown.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Richard Quinn

This is fab, though. I

Ralph Fiennes

In which Ralph Fiennes just leans into the fact that he's COLD right now.

Maya Jama

Google tells me that Ms Jama is "a British television and radio presenter," but I mostly included her because she's further proof of my theory that tulle is REALLY back.

Fiona Shaw

On the other side of the coin, Fiona Shaw is like, "I refuse to indulge any of that nonsense."

Jessica Barden in Miu Miu

Sure! Although those glittery seams always feel to me as if the folks at Miu Miu freaked out at the last minute that they needed to add one more thing to this.

Richard Madden

Madden break! Can I confess that I watched all of Bodyguard last week, and it took me a very long time to realize that he was the lead? I was like, "who is this Topher Grace looking dude? I KNOW I know him." I guess I don't recognize Robb Stark if he's not draped in furs?

Ophelia Lovibond

Felicity Jones's doppleganger Ophelia Lovibond continues showing up places looking like Felicity Jones has figured her shit out.

Clara Paget

She's very pretty, and this is a good dress, but I suspect she's mostly been invited to this because, although she's done some acting, she's mostly VERY POSH.

Annabelle Wallis and Stella McCartney

I assume Annabelle is wearing Stella, as she attended with Stella, and it seems like it would be quite rude not to do so. She looks good, honestly. This dress feels very Old School Calvin Klein.

Anna Wintour, Bee Shaffer in McQueen

These two look like a couple of HIGHLY eccentric rich women, which is frankly what I hope they actually are.

Kitty Spencer in Dolce & Gabbana, Emma Weymouth

Speaking of posh, here's Wills and Harry's cousin Kitty, and Emma, who is the Vicountess Weymouth and who we've talked about before (she's set to become the first black marchioness ever, and her father-in-law is QUITE BONKERS and generally terrible). Her Instagram is very good, also. (The Instagrams of people often seen in Tatler are my guilty pleasures.)

Ellie Bamber in Chanel

This is traumatizing to me. It looks so cheap and you know it's not. It feels like a Chanel knock-off someone refashioned into a Business Dressing Gown.

Suki Waterhouse in Brock Collection

I enjoy this, but it's also A CHOICE and I understand that many MANY of you would not choose this choice.

Idris Elba

But who wouldn't choose Idris?

Rita Ora Looked The MOST Dramatic at the London Standard Theatre Awards, But Other People Were Also Trying

Including two Queens, one almost-princess, and the Sexiest Man Alive.
