Jennifer Hudson
Not sure how I feel about the shoes with this -- they seem too dated, somehow -- but J.Hud looks svelte and saucy in the leather shirt and sleek skirt. I am really stoked to see what she does on Smash. I keep hoping by some miracle they will give her a duet with Megan Hilty, because I might clap.
Alicia Keys
I heard Alicia's "Star Spangled Banner" on the radio while driving to a Super Bowl party, and before I realized what it was I seriously said to my husband, "Wait, this is supposed to be the game, why are they playing Lite FM?" It... was not to my tastes, and I felt bad because on the radio it sounded like she boned the high note (but, ENDLESS props to her for going for it; I've never objected to people knocking it down a key to bring it within their reach, but she didn't, so much respect for that). Also: This dress could have been better. It's fine, but it doesn't really make her shine.
Nina Dobrev
Very pretty. Somehow, the top looks like a gloriously romantic bodyshaper, and the skirt appears as if part of it has been blown backward, and yet the whole thing feels more delicate and lovely than crazy and mistaken.
Olivia Munn
This is another one I want to like, but I can't quite go there because the actual execution seems sloppy.
Olivia Munn
Olivia Munn was living it up in New Orleans -- she went to a LOT of stuff. I like this but wish it were a better length. This just-past-knee feels like overflow, to me.
Olivia Munn
This looks great. I wish the shoes were gold, though.
Olivia Munn and Hannah Simone
Those pockets are... extreme. They are the X Games of pockets.
Trent Richardson
Leather lapels on a blue velvet jacket. I love the NFL.
Alec Baldwin
Sometimes Baldwin looks totally normal, and other times, his hair looks like someone spray-painted it badly. Fortunately here, he's in column A. However, his wife has a small problem...
Chrissy Teigen
... which is that she is in the exact same dress as model Chrissy Teigen. Chrissy is going for the leggier version, and actually Hilaria is giving it a pretty damn good go, but in general it cannot be esteem-building to walk into a room and be like, "Oh. Chrissy Teigen is wearing my outfit. WITH LEGS."
Matt Forte
Very dapper. And it's like his facial hair was groomed to match the trim on his jacket collar.
Clay Matthews III
Ever since that Fathead ad, where he has a bunch of decals of himself all around his living room, I've loved CM3 for having a sense of humor about himself. I'm not sure I completely adore the plaid thing that looks like a hybrid vest and bib, but whatever. The NFL is where menswear has fun.
Rachael Leigh Cook
This is very... banal figure skater.
Rachael Leigh Cook, Daniel Gillies
And here is some bonus Elijah, for all ye Vampire Diaries fans out there.
Josh Hutcherson
Sometimes I mix up, in my head, the names of Joshes Hutcherson and Henderson. I haven't figured out a good mnemonic for remembering that Hutcherson, aka Peeta Mellark, is the one who more frequently dresses like he is going door-to-door performing smog checks.
Josh Henderson
I mean, Henderson doesn't even have to be well-dressed to be the better-clad of the two. At least not at this party.
Brooklyn Decker
It's... there. It's not ugly. But I don't think it belongs with those shoes.
Jordin Sparks
If you are going to stand next to Victor Cruz, do not let your dress mangle your boobs. Because you will want to keep this photo forever, and forever you'll have to wonder why nobody told you what was happening, and WHY you signed off on sleeves that look like fancy arm-tights.
Anna Faris, Ashley Greene
"We're standing so close. I hope we know each other." "Well, we do NOW."
Kelly Rowland
I don't care for the pants. But somebody PLEASE burn the world's quantity of that lipstick shade.
Ian Somerhalder
I've decided I hope those are promise rings. I don't know why. That, or... some kind of ode to a molecule.
Ian Somerhalder
This is just here in case anyone wants to know what Damon Salvatore would look like as a jock.
