Yara Shahidi, Anthony Anderson, and Tracee Ellis Ross (in Missoni)
Yara is wearing Stella McCartney (and Schutz shoes), and she is perhaps one of the few people alive who can truly make this ensemble seem reasonable and recommendable. Because it is a mural transformed into a jumpsuit. I also appreciated that TER matched her clutch to Anthony Anderson's suit.
Lucy Hale in Marchesa
I've said it 100 times before, but the 90s are SO VERY BACK. I would have died for this, back in the day, before I was virtually dead by mere fact of my advanced age.
Nikki Reed in Marchesa
She looks like she's regretting this, but, truly, of all the sheer-adjacent, caftan-adjacent frocks in the world, this isn't the worst one.
Brittany Snow in Nicolas Jebran
I love these wacky pants, but she looks a bit like she's testing out her Halloween costume, and that she's going as Elaine Stritch this year.
Annabelle Wallis
Annebelle played Jane Seymour in The Tudors, and, yes, I had to look that up. She's apparently also in Peaky Blinders, which I have never watched because I don't understand the title and prefer to live in ignorance on that front. (She's also currently dating Chris Martin, who clearly has a type.) This dress is both ridiculous and totally fun -- like the cocktail option you'd find if the Getty Museum launched a line of clothing.
Chelsea Handler
I'm not a huge fan of hers, but this is a kind of good look on her, and the shoes are super. I'm sure she's incredibly relieved by my approval.
Ari Graynor
I like this, although -- and this is no one's fault -- the black detailing in the pattern kind of makes it look as if she's wearing two belts. More importantly: I like Ari Graynor and I had a brief moment of concern about her career until I saw that she's filming a new TV show about stand-up comedians in the 70s. I predict it will either be great or AGONIZINGLY TERRIBLE.
Sasha Lane in Louis Vuitton
She's only 21, and this feels sufficiently young and fresh on her. I looked her up on Ye Olde IMDb -- she's in the new Shia LeBeouf movie, which I think opened and then died -- and learned the following: "Trivia: Told IMDb in a Facebook Live interview in September 2016 that she likes peanut butter and cheese toast." Amazing. Truly we live in a world of endless information.
Beth Riesgraf and Bellamy Young (in Michael Cinco, and jewelry by Ileans Makri and Sylva & Cie and Randall Scott Fine Jewelry))
Yes, yes, Beth is not wearing a pattern -- although she looks very nice -- but I wanted to bring you Bellamy, whose dress is fine, but whose clutch has my heart.
