Kerry Washington

I have to apologize to Kerry; at the time I wrote this post, I only had terrible photo choices, and I had to pick one. She looks like she's about to sneeze. Please subtract that, because the dress itself is rather kicky.

Keke Palmer in archival Oscar de la Renta

Keke hosted the event, and she went MAJOR for it. And archival to boot; Molly Dickson is styling her right now and this was a good get.

Lucy Hale in Simkhai

This is very pretty. And NOT sheer -- there is a flesh-tone slip. There's a real fresh-faced sweetness to this; you could have told me this was an event for a makeup company or something. Easy, breezy, beautiful.

Mandy Moore

Mandy has three young kids under five (if you follow her on IG, they are the CUTEST MUFFINS IN HISTORY) and her brand-new house just burned down, so let's just... decide she chose this because it made her laugh.

Julianne Hough

Front seams like that are so dicey; they often bubble up into a roller-coaster, as they are here.

Lilly Singh

Wow, her Jedi tunic is FANCY.

Normani

I love how the shape of this top echoes the bracelets -- that's very smart styling.

Kelly McCreary

This is deliciously dramatic.

Taraji P. Henson

The gold accessories with this are likewise great. That clutch is, like the rabbit in Search for the Holy Grail, dynamite.

Zooey Deschanel

Time was, she'd have worn this as a mini, with thick black tights. I am so glad we are past that time; this is gorgeous on every level and might be my favorite thing she's ever worn.

Sofia Boutella

If Princess Leia wore red.

Madeline Brewer

I really like this from the front...

... but something about the back looks less intentional than, "Whoops, it doesn't fit. Well, it'll stay up, anyway."

Barbie Ferreira

Wait, is her purse hanging from her arm, like a wristlet? I can't decide if that would be comfortable, or chafe-y.

Colman Domingo

Our Patron Saint of Style made an appearance, once again making it look easy when it very much isn't.

Aisha Dee

"What if... I NEVER finish my knitting?" she said, then broke into a devilish smile.

Chanel Iman

"What if I NEVER finish my metal sculpting class?" she said, then broke into a devilish smile.

Maddie Ziegler

As I work, I am watching a TV show, and one character just said, "What are we doing here?" That feels apt.

Sara Sampaio

That's a lot of fabric. The skirt and the boots together are just so strange, too.

Jussie Smollett

I guess he's trying a comeback? He directed a movie that came out in September, and has popped up several times since then. I'm... curious how that will go. This is too many coats.

Jaime King

You know what? I love Big Bird, too.

AnnaSophia Robb

This is not the greatest color on her, but her makeup is doing the job of keeping her from not being washed-out.

Lisa Rinna

Lisa Rinna's cult priestess phase has been very entertaining.

Julia Fox in Marni

But of course, Julia did the most. The makeup here is a version of what the models wore at this runway show, but the wig and the hat went off-script. She looks like her mood board was a mix of Chappell Roan and Eliza Doolittle at the races.

L.A.'s Attempt at a Fashion Event Got a Solid Turnout

It's the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards.
