I know you can't really see what they're wearing here, but this picture just cracked me up. Ryan Coogler here wrote and directed *Fruitvale Station*, and I like to think that he's also Octavia's date at this event, if only because I ALWAYS want to know whom Octavia has brought as her date, given that that list includes [Josh Sussman from Glee](https://gofugyourself.com/golden-globes-weekend-well-played-octavia-spencer-01-2012?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), [Josh Hopkins from *Cougar Town*](https://gofugyourself.com/sag-awards-fug-carpet-octavia-spencer-01-2012?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and of course, [her *The Help* director Tate Taylor. Additionally, can we just talk again about about how great she looked during that awards cycle? Seriously.](https://gofugyourself.com/oscars-well-played-octavia-spencer-02-2012/84th-annual-academy-awards-arrivals-36?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

## Michael B Jordan

He is one sharply-dressed man. Jeez.

I give this like a 7.5 out of 10 but I couldn't completely tell you why I'm not giving her totally full marks. It might feel a leeetle bit like a throw pillow and I might have done a slightly more-red lip. I would like to add here that a 7.5 for Octavia, obviously, is like a 10 for a whole bunch of other people. We are grading on a curve.

I wish I liked this, but it kind of looks as if it's made out of Clip Art.

I (a) would have saved this for Easter and (b) different shoes my god why why are people still wearing these shoes why why please stop so bored now.

I LOVE this look. That shirt is so charming and dapper.

I also wish someone with more spare time than I have would start a Tumblr called HotDirectors.Tumblr.com. Ryan Coogler would make the cut. Kathryn Bigelow, too. Sofia Coppola. Oh, Affleck!. And...I'm sure there are others? Get on it, guys.

Melonie is SO PRETTY -- I want someone to cast her and Selena Gomez as sisters, because they remind me of one another -- but this is a bit undergarment-y. Octavia always uses color well, but MIGHT be wearing my grandma's formal mules?

This was in Cannes -- I guess we somehow missed it then? Cannes came at us fast and furious -- and I think Octavia had *Gatsby* fever. Michael looks delightfully Gosling-y in that vest. And Melonie: I WANT ALL OF THAT. ALL.

How many people stepped on that train on this yacht, do you think? Fab color, though.

She's in this movie too! And this is a lovely change from [that time she wore the Ace bandage.](https://gofugyourself.com/fug-or-fab-ahna-oreilly-06-2013?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Matchy-matchy shoes, you'll be the end of me.

[Fugs, Fabs, and Fines: Various Fruitvale Station screeningsFirst of all, I am really looking forward to seeing this movie; I've heard it's fantastic. Second, can we just talk about how I want all the good things in the universe for Michael B. Jordan? He has a quality that makes him innately sympathetic in EVERYTHING from All My Children to Friday Night Lights. I spent all of FNL -- where, Hart of Dixie fans, if you haven't seen it, Mayor Lavon Hayes played his SUPER TERRIBLE father -- wanting to hug him. He didn't have to do anything. Every time I saw his face, I just wanted to run up to him and hug him. (Finding actors with this quality must be a Jason Katims specialty because I also felt this way about Matt Lauria and Zach Gilford.) It does not hurt that he wears a suit very well. Let's ogle him (and other people)! \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/173149350_10.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fugs-fabs-and-fines-various-fruitvale-station-screenings-07-2013/)
