Paz Vega in Marchesa

This is a very dramatic gown, befitting the tragic heroine of a poem who is making her own funeral flotilla. I am also not wild at all about this weirdly dated haircut, and finally, at this point I just really question whether Georgina is ever truly going to leave Harvey.

In case you missed the pink sash, because what this needed was MORE.

Nieves Alvarez in Elie Saab

This is completely splendid. I love it, and am so sad that this sighting means it likely can't pop up at the Oscars, where it would be in our Best Dressed slideshow. Well, theoretically. Unless someone really worked hard to wonk up the styling.

Penelope Cruz in Chanel

"I regret Chanel," she may be thinking, as she ponders the terrible boob seams on this and how generally bulky it looks.

Silvia Abascal in Marchesa

ANOTHER Marchesa. Interesting. It's certainly got a great skirt. The material that makes the sash-style strap would've been useful in covering the bustier.

Lucia Jimenez in Santoscostura

Bless her for not being afraid of pattern, even if it does resemble an artsy interpretation of wheel marks on a wet road at night.

Silvia Abril

And we have elbow bags! Check it off on your bingo card.

Marta Nieto in Delpozo

This is a fabulous textile -- I love it. I do wonder why they have her standing as if she's recoiling from something.

Steffy Argelich in Carolina Herrera

Seriously, were people being really weird and aggressive in the photo line, or is it just a trick of the light? She looks like she's leaning away as well. Also, I love how dramatic this looks. It's a black and white version of Julia Roberts in the Pretty Woman opera scene.

Macarena Gomez in Teresa Helbig

Since I didn't have a full front view of this available, I decided to go with the amusing side photo. 

Azucena Hernande

Is she one of Spain's foremost noted kooks, by chance?

Tamara Falco in her own brand

I like the cape, but her right boob is using an AWFUL lot of Kleenex.

Hiba Abouk in Balmain

Cuca Escribano

For some reason, I could see Emma Stone picking that out. I don't necessarily think that's a good thing, but it's a true thing.

Manuela Velasco in Dior

That's a super dress. Dior: clawing back!

Elena Sanchez

I ALSO like this. The whole motif is Very Luxe Palace Interior, which is my jam.

Ainhoa Arteta

This is Sam the Eagle, BUT FASHION.

Rossy de Palma in Alejandro Postigo

And Rossy is dressed like an Oscar, which is apt. She can't really dress like a Goya, because the statue is a small, angry-looking bust of Francisco de Goya. However, if anyone was going to try, it'd be her.

Behold the Big Ballgowns at the Goya Awards

The Goya's are Spain's Oscars.
