Rose Byrne

I mean, this looks like she is fly paper. Fancy navy fly paper, but bedecked with squished bugs just the same. And yet somehow she's giving this that same innate coolness that she did the jumpsuit, but with better hair and makeup I think, and... you guys, maybe I just really love Rose Byrne, and it's affecting my judgment.

Nicole Kidman

Fine, I guess, but it's extremely distracting to me that she paired this very, very girly dress with very, very girly hair. If Hailee Steinfeld -- or Kiernan Shipka, with a slight bodice-modesty adjustment -- showed up in this, styled exactly so, it wouldn't look out of place. And they're a couple decades behind Nicole.

Hugh Jackman

I love you, Hugh, even if the Ellen people who do interviews at these things are a little insane.

Erika Christensen

I can't figure out why Erika came to this event -- there were non-Aussies in attendance but they seemed to be connected to someone else, like Travolta was there for Olivia Newton John, and Lindsay Price was there for her baby-daddy (hubby?) Curtis Stone. Maybe Erika was just there because she and John are both Scientologists. Anyway, she looks... fine. Over the years she's done much better with fit, but this bodice might be a little droopy.

Elle Macpherson and Curtis Stone

It's so distracting that Elle's curtain of hair and the venue's curtain of... curtaindom... are the same color. Separately, I love a man in an apron.

Lindsay Price

Wikipedia says Lindsay is Curtis's "partner," so we'll go with that. I like this dress, but her maternity boobs seem to be having a hard time staying tucked away in there. Breastfeeding is hard.

Toni Collette

Meh. The mesh on the neckline is leaving me cold.

Bella Heathcote

This would be super pretty, except the bits of extra black transparent fringe hanging off everywhere look more like a fabric cutting accident than a design choice.

Teresa Palmer

Oof. Unflattering, and the wrong shoes. I should just make a macro for that on my laptop.

Fugs and Fabs: The G'Day USA Event
I need to confess something. Remember that time Rose Byrne wore a jumpsuit to the SAGs? And I called her one of the Flying Elvises and basically thought it was ridiculous? I have totally softened on that stance. I'm still not sold on it, and I still think the jumpsuit as a concept is the enemy of a lady's groin, but there's something really brassy about her doing that -- back then, no one had yet for such a formal occasion. And she has this innate coolness that makes me think she pulled it off as well as anybody could, so... listen, I just needed to get that off my chest before we talk about what is currently on her chest.
