Jason Ritter, Melanie Lynskey in Christian Siriano
He didn't get to be there when she won her Critics' Choice Award, and I'm so bummed she didn't win here. This is very romantic, and the slim-cut sheath underneath, Jason apparently correctly told her was extremely sexy; I almost wish the overskirt was a bit less of a parade float?
Samantha Hanratty in Rami Al Ali
The pink under this was a surprise. It's rainbow sorbet.
Hannah Einbinder in custom Rodarte
She moved in this better than you would think based on this photo. Rodarte, much like Louis Vuitton, does custom stuff that never resembles what they'd actually make for their own fashion shows. And I almost always like it better, although this is SO simple and kind of... personality-free... that it veers too much in the other direction. (It also looked dark green under the lights, and in close-ups, but it was hard to tell for a minute.)
Rachel Lindsay
This looks like they forgot to cut out the sample bra.
Lisa Ann Walter
I LOVE this. I know everyone is going to make a Carol Burnett joke, and that works, too, but I think the whole thing is a party.
Liv Hewson
You know I am going to gripe about the shoe. Who did Liv dirty there? This outfit demands fabulous footwear.
Angela Bassett in D&G
I wish she would kick D&G to the curb, per usual. She looks good because she's Angela Bassett, but this is giving me mild toga vibes. She also really threw herself into her line reading. I would listen to her read the phonebook. She would absolutely give you everything she had and more for "JW Heating and Air" and "Fiddler On The Roof Chimney Service." (A real place!)
Madeline Di Nonno and Geena Davis in Rani Zakhem
They got an award for their work at the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. Between that, acting, AND nearly being an Olympic archer, Geena Davis is EXTREMELY interesting. They both look fantastic.
Sofia Vergara in Laura Basci
We got Sofia here backstage; she did not seem to walk the red carpet, that we've seen? What is HAPPENING? Has Sofia Vergara EVER chosen not to walk a red carpet? And it's a good dress, too.
Selma Blair
Selma was a surprise. I can't decide if she looks great, or like a troll sneezed on her chest. Possibly, dare I say it, both?
