Her hair and makeup and general styling here is SO good. I love this eye makeup.

The New York Times reported: "Lily Gladstone is wearing a dress by Gabriela Hearst embedded with 493 stars by the indigenous artist Ataumbi.... They’re arranged in a constellation that you’d see if you looked up at the night sky in the Great Plains, Ms. Hearst said. Ms. Gladstone felt as if she was 'draped in my ancestors,' she said. 'We say we come from the stars.'" That is a BEAUTIFUL sentiment and I love the idea here. Vogue went deeper and talked to Kiowa artist Keri Ataumbi as well; their piece is very interesting. I will say that she's worn a similar silhouette a lot and this might have been a good opportunity to mix it up a bit.

This is fabulous.

Yes, gorgeous, and also she has worn this dress 1000000000 times FREE PENELOPE.

She is beautiful. That is not a question! And this dress would be dreamy the first few times. Let this woman wear other designers! BREAK FREEEEEE.

She is the first human to wear this -- it was originally shown on a mannequin. Honestly, I think she looks great in it. A little 70s, a little 90s. Why not?

Sure! Very handsome! Keep up the good work!

Of all the Chloes, I think I like this the best -- it suits her. Is it on theme? No one can tell. But it looks fun to flap around in.

This is quite good on Sam, and their luxurious facial hair situation makes me want them to appear on The Gilded Age as a fellow robber baron.

Also obviously a robber baron of some sort! All those glorious lapel pins!
Sofia Coppola in Chanel

I generally love her style but honestly SNORE. This is not anywhere near to the theme and it's also BORING. Maybe all this is why Anna axed Chanel for herself this year. (Also, Sofia, go to Marc Jacobs this year, for god's sake.)

Yes, of course they're bedazzled Crocs WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU WEAR?

Absolutely unimpeachable, carry on.

Andrew Scott's in his Bad Boy Phase and I'm good with this development.

This is custom and it's also a bit of a snore from Dior -- a poem I wish I hadn't had to write. It's obviously not BAD but it's also a little boring.
Naomi Watts in custom Balenciaga

FULL SWAN and why not? It suits her. Heather noted to me yesterday during the chat that it's interesting that Demna has his most success at Balenciaga just...recreating actual Balenciaga. (I'm a Glove Hater but will allow them here.)

I adore this veil situation.

These men always look so depressed about the cut of their pants.

This is very chic on him and the beading is gorgeous; I missed his red carpet interview, but he explained on his Instagram that this look is "inspired by the legacy of John Ystumllyn and the beauty of his work." John Ystumllyn was one of the UK's first Black gardeners; a rose was named after him in 2021. (This was the first rose named after a person of color in the UK, which seems...very late indeed.) Hamilton is always so thoughtful about theme and meaning in what he wears.

Everything seems in order here.

That's a very cool piece of jewelry; it was smart of him to make it the focus.

Didn't he wear this in I, Tonya?

She looks pretty! She has also been in the news lately complaining about being called a nepo baby, will SOMEONE get through to these kids and explain that all they need to say is, "I absolutely had a head start because of who my parents are!" Does Allison Williams need to teach a class?

I don't know if I get it....? (I'm sure there's something profound about the plastic and the roses and DEATH and something something but also I'm writing this at three minutes after midnight.)

Not as many people wore this sort of dress as I'd anticipated. I call them EMERGERS, as the wearer is sort of EMERGING from them like Venus from the shell.
Michael Shannon

As one of you wisely noted on the live chat: All that, and a bag of chips.

I promised you capes and capes I have provided.

I rather prefer it with the cape, but either way: This is DRAMATIC and also I feel like this man would be really annoying in the club. You know? He would keep talking to you.
