Julianna Margulies
This is actually interesting, and rather good on her, although I would have been curious to see it hit her mid-calf, or even at the knee. Ankle-length is always a tough sell. Mostly, though, I see her and think a) thank GOD you are not in your Alicia wig anymore, and b) DOES THIS MEAN PEOPLE CAN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED ON THIS SHOW???
Christine Baranski
And that book needs to be written by this divine human, although I also surmise that she's too classy to do that. So I'll revert to needing to get drunk with her over a four-martini lunch.
Cush Jumbo
Lucca was the best part about this final season (on which I'm two episodes behind, so maybe she has blown up by now or something). Those shoes don't go with this, but that dress is as cute as most of her wardrobe was on the show.
Matt Czuchry
He almost looks like he was bribed to be there. They couldn't get Josh Charles to come by and smile and look supportive. They barely got any of the other lawyers (David Lee came, i guess, but that's it). Grace skipped, so they managed to make Zach -- sad, reviled Zach -- come to represent the Florrick kids. Chris Noth was Chris Nope. Even Jeffrey Dean Morgan bailed, although maybe he's busy shooting something. Maybe they were all busy. Right.
Kerry Washington
This was a Smithsonian-hosted event, and I hope they took Shonda to task for making them dumb enough to be a cover job for one of TV's worst characters. Guys, they are STILL letting Papa Pope monologue. It's like nobody wants to tell them that the emperor long since stopped having any clothes.
ANYHOO, back to Kerry. This is totally lackluster, right? And in this photo I thought it was a dress...
Kerry Washington
But NO. It's apparently a bodysuit and a skirt that don't play particularly well together. So she went from shapeless but patterned, to form-fitting and black/white. I wish we could shuffle that deck.
Bellamy Young
This is not lighting my world on fire, but remembering some of her recent experiments -- in which it looked like she was being dressed by someone with zero actual knowledge of who she was -- this is much nicer.
Katie Lowes
This girl. She gives it her all every time, facially, and the clothes generally always let her down. I may think Quinn is among the worst (although not the CAPTAIN of Team Worst), but Katie seems totally pleasant and game. I feel like we need to put Ilaria Urbinati on the case.
Shonda Rimes
I'm guessing this is Chanel, right? I enjoy it on her. It's event-appropriate and also totally says, "I am the boss."
