Cynthia Erivo in Louis Vuitton

I guess I can see where some of that would fall off -- they remind me of the bits that stick in my paper shredder -- but you'd also think Louis Vuitton had its act together a bit more than that?!? She looks wonderful in it, though; it's a sculptural bronze dream.

Jodie Turner-Smith in Gucci

My computer auto-filled the slide header, and it was correct to do so, which is amusing. I can't decide how much I actually like this, but I think I like it BEST if I look from the bottom up, because it starts to lose me the closer we get to the top. It might veer cheesy for me. It might be the neck bling and the fact that the silvery shimmer stops halfway up her arm.

Sophie Turner in LV

SOMEBODY was clearing out the notions drawer.

Sheila Atim in Prada

She deserves better than crumpled tin foil.

Lily James in Tamara Ralph

I am genuinely torn. On one hand, this is cool and different; on the other, it does look like someone jammed part of a hand fan in there to hold the dress up, and she seems uncomfortable in it.

Naomi Ackie in Loewe

The last thing I wand to look down and see, when I am seated, is the view up my own nostrils. But perhaps I am alone in this.

Ariana DeBose in Fendi

It was not a good night for her. Yes, she only had to wear this shower curtain for a short time before going inside to change for her song, but then THAT went over like a lead balloon.

Kerry Condon in Armani

This is perfectly nice, and I think that's been her brand this whole time. When she won, also, she thanked her horses and her dog for giving her life meaning, which is very sweet and also a first for me. Alison Hammond asked her about it later and she was like, "Well, everyone else knows they're important!" I hope her pets were in front of a TV.

Sally Bretton

This is the slightly chiller, bra-friendly version of Kerry's.

Dolly De Leon

Dolly is in Triangle of Sadness, and there is definitely SOME geometry involved here. I actually LOVE it? The shape is so unusual but also so gracefully executed. She looks like a seashell.

Hoyeon in LV

This is extremely pretty, and feels like it should have been for Ana de Armas. Not that Hoyeon doesn't deserve a big dress too, but... well, let's talk about it when we get to Ana later today. Point is, this is good and also might need a bracelet. (EDITED TO ADD: I didn't mean to be dismissive of her! I wrote this slide really badly. My mind had gone to: It is UNUSUAL that Ana doesn't *also* get their best custom work, yet they totally whiffed with hers on this night, and it startled me enough that it was still on my mind when I saw this. But Hoyeon is a great ambassador for LV and they NAILED IT for her here, and she of COURSE does not and should not play second fiddle to Ana de Armas!)

Deborah Ababio

I wonder how this would have looked without the neckline netting.

Rita Wilson

This SHOULD really work for me, but instead somehow looks heavy on her.

Gina Prince Bythewood

I was really rooting for her to pull off the upset. She is too classy to have said IN YOUR FACE, OSCARS, but I would have said it to my TV. She looks great.

Yvonne Orji

I would watch this nighttime soap.

Alex Scott

And to think, it started so well.

Alison Hammond

I'm glad she had fun with this, but let's get Alison a PROPER cape so that we can put her in the lead-off post next time.

Cynthia Erivo Left a Trail of Glitter Backstage at the BAFTAs

I know this because Cate Blanchett told me. (Well... the viewing audience.)
