Do we think those are tiny shorts under there, on J. Lo? Because I would be delighted by that. This is, to me, much more successful than what she wore to the ceremony.

Tika Sumpter

This is for your first courhouse wedding.

Alexandra Breckenridge

This is very pretty and summery and perfect for your semi-casual July wedding. In other news, will someone please tell me which other celebrity she reminds me of?

Jackie Cruz

TRULY, this Golden Globes was committed to, devoted to, and obsessed with THE SLEEVE.

Kathryn Newton

This maybe should have, technically, gone into our patterns post, but we're here now. It's LOVELY.

Bella Thorne

With the caveat that I think she looks good in this: I feel like the pattern on that bodice is secretly a salute to Eve's cleavage tattoos.

Golden Globes afterparty at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills, Calif 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards - InStyle and Warner Bros. Afterparty, Beverly Hills, USA - 05 Jan 2020

That floral detail vaguely makes her look as if she's been recently stabbed?

Cara Santana in Cong Tri

VERY Miss Havisham for the new year.

Nicole Scherzinger

Not memorable, but also very well done, so...let's call it a draw?

Kate Beckinsale

This has a Princess Leia vibe that works on her.

Diane Farr

This was unexpected!

Sofia Milos

Sure! Very old Hollywood. Why not?

Eiza Gonzalez in Roland Mouret

This feels like a directional salute to pantyhose HOWEVER she also looks pretty cool in it. 2020, keep surprising me! (Actually, please don't.)

Ashley Madekwe in Markarian

This is PRETTY.

Adina Porter

This is very delicate and looks lovely here, but I imagine it was VERY pretty in person.

Jenna Ortega

She is in the second season of You and she's quite good in it. She's 17. And I wish her stylist had gone for something a little more more young and quirky for this event.

Shantel VanSanten in Armani

This is pretty, and she's lovely, but this is also very snug!

Hannah Brown

Sure!

Jasmine Sanders

I really REALLY wished we'd have left such aggressive sheers in the previous decade. This truly is like a (beautiful!) caftan over a swimsuit.

Jaime King

This, on the other hand, is STUNNING. Jaime is leaning into the Roaring 20s thing and looks fantastic -- I think this is one of her bests, ever.

Kiki Layne in Julian McDonald

I have Lining Concerns, but this IS kicky.

Maggie Lawson

This is good!

Brittany Snow

This is also good and, jeez, this party was fancier than I anticipated it being!

Karen Fukuhara

This definitely is more of a pattern, but also I LOVE IT? (I don't have a credit for it, either!)

Mia Maestro

Respect to a woman who wears a matching sequined cardigan to an event.

Jessica Alba

This is very reasonable.

Bethany Joy Lenz in Kimberly Parker Atelier

She looks good here! The River Court has healed her.

Connie Britton

Hear me out: Does this need a belt?

Patrick J. Adams and Troian Bellisario

Troian looks very pretty but I'm really here for his Rumpled Professor situation.

Danneel Ackles and Jensen Ackles

What did I tell you about One Tree Hill!?

Laverne Cox in Michael Cinco

This isn't my favorite of her wigs, but this dress is rad -- and HUGE.

Rachel Brosnahan in Michael Kors Collection

A VERY good night for Ms Brosnahan, sartorially!

Aja Naomi King

Satin!!! *shakes fist*

Alyson Michalka

Am I losing it, or does she look vaguely like Julianne Moore here?

Bryan Greenberg and Jamie Chung (in Honor)

This is also great on her.

Merrin Dungey

This is neither here nor there, but I can never see Merrin Dungey without thinking about that scene in Alias with the coffee ice cream. (Why am I being coy about spoilers about a show that's been off the air for so many years? It's just, early Alias was so good!)
