Keira Knightley in Nina Ricci and Bendypants Cumbershirts
I think this is forgiving and flattering and pretty on Keira, but really, her face is doing yeoman's work for her look. She looks GORGEOUS to me. (Bendertwitch Cumbergroup looks lovely, too.)
Jennifer Aniston in Zuhair Murad
DAMN, Aniston is tan. SO too. Perhaps too tan. And of course in black. I will note, however, that this length is a departure for her, and I think it's flattering and welcome.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw in Oscar de la Renta
I LOVE this. Or I did until I started wondering if those sequins maybe made her look like she got splashed when a nearby bottle of champagne opened too vigorously, and then I told myself to shut up because she looks fantastic.
Reese Witherspoon in Ralph Lauren
This is flattering and nice on Reese, but she sort of looks like she's going to a fancy luncheon rather than a Gowned Event. She DOES have a history of pulling off cocktail LENGTH at a formal party (remember her amazing yellow dress/red shoes combo the year she broke up with Ryan Phillippe?) but I don't know that I think this DRESS feels fancy enough? Let's talk it out.
Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji
A bit predictable from Octavia, I fear. Hopefully, she's saving the really splashy Shoji for later.
Felicity Jones in Prada
This is from the same collection we recently saw on Jessica Chastain, and apparently I like it, because I liked that AND I like this.
Felicity Jones in Prada
Although I wish the detailing looked slightly less like rickrack. And her hair-styling is, if I may be so bold, mildly deranged, I think
Emily Blunt in Michael Kors, and John Krasinski
I also think SHE looks great. I had a chocolate croissant earlier today and it's possible the combo of sugar, carbs, and fat has put me in an usually good mood, but come on.
Emily Blunt in Michael Kors,
SO GOOD. With the green clutch? TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, EMILY BLUNT.
Hilary Swank in Antonio Berardi
I will say that I think this is exactly the right direction for her. She looks good, right? (Am I right?)
Laura Dern
First off: I actually think this dress is great on her, and she's really well styled. But if only someone had told her not to stand like she was immobilized! I keep imagining her hopping away.
Michelle Monaghan in J Mendel
That leg slit is TOO HIGH. I think this dress is actually gorgeous on her, and she basically looks great, but I worry that much of a slit takes us down to Nightgownville.
Zendaya in Christian Siriano
Okay. So I DON'T know why Zendaya was there, but she looks nice, if perhaps a wee bit like she took a detour through a chicken farm.
Jenny Slate in Alberta Ferretti
This is a lot of dress! I don't think it's bad, but ever since one of you mentioned Barbara Mandrell during the CMAs, she's been on my mind, and I can kind of see this floating into frame on her variety hour.
