Viola Davis, Shonda Rhimes, Ellen Pompeo

This picture brings me joy. Remember last week how I noted that I NEVER worry that Viola Davis is going to show up somewhere looking like refried crazy? Well, indeed Viola looks like the elegant professional grown-up with great arms that she is, while Shonda looks GREAT (Shonda Rhimes has a secret stash of great party dresses in her house), and Ellen does in fact look mildly like refried crazy.

Jessica Capshaw, Camilla Luddington

Despite the fact that Camilla's boob may have been about to make a run for it -- a sentence I hope one day to type in Royals Round-Up -- both of these women look pretty great and YES I KNOW THEY'RE BOTH IN JUMPSUITS. I don't even know anymore, you guys.

Portia de Rossi

In which Portia coyly wonders....are we aware we can see her bralet? We are, Portia. We are.

Jerrika Hinton, Caterina Scorsone, Kelly McCreary

a) Apparently, this was a fun party

b) I salute the vastly high proportion of Successful Pants at this thing (Successful Pants is my new band).

c) Props to all these women for wearing good shoes.

Aja King

This photo makes it look as if Aja is in the middle of a question, and that question is possibly, "are the red shoes a step too far?"

Katie Lowes

This seems like the sartorial interpretation of an envelope containing a wedding invitation.

Karla Souza

I'd like this so much more if it weren't legitimately almost Buttcheeks Short.

Sarah Drew

Okay, sure. Fine.

Darby Stanchfield

NOOOOOO. Girl. No. It's like every choice made here was wrong: Hair? Wrong. Shoes? Wrong. PLAYSUIT? WRONG.

Sara Ramirez

She, however, looks great in this.

Liza Weil

This skirt needs to be shorter (right?) but otherwise, I am picking up what Paris is putting down.

Chandra Wilson

Is this a jumpsuit? It's a mystery. It seemed right to end this slideshow on a cliffhanger.

Fugs and Fabs: The Women of the TGIT Party

I believe the theme of this party is ALL HAIL SHONDA RHIMES. And while I don't always love what's happening in Shondaland (see: HUCK), I wholeheartedly agree. If forced to watch only Ryan Murphy shows or all Shonda Rhimes shows for the rest of my life, I would pick Shonda every single time and it wouldn't even be close. I pick you, Shonda. I choose you. I love you. Okay, so this sentiment may be partially brought to you by the fact that I have been rewatching early seasons of Grey's lately and oh my god, it is so good. I forgot how much I obsessively loved that show. But also Shondaland shows (with the except of HTGAWM, which isn't really her baby as much as it is a child that's been crashing at her house for the duration) are really good at romantic longing (even when I am enraged with Fitz, his scenes with Olivia are always extremely effective), female friendships (MEREDITH AND CRISTINA FOREVER), and also coats (i.e, the collected works of Olivia Pope). Those are my three favorite things in the world. Now, no one wore a coat to this event, and Kerry Washington was not in town, but I AM about to bring you women having a good time in a variety of good-to-terrible outfits, and sometimes that is enough.
