You may recall that my Jessie Buckley Face Blindness is almost as bad as my Andrea Riseborough Face Blindness, because she can look SO different. This straightforward head-styling seems like her attempt at a cure, because she might be headed for an awards run. The dress is a hoot; I wish it didn't seem to sit so far off her torso, but the rest is great.

Jessie Buckley also changed. Her coat might be great! But I DEFINITELY think she still could have answered questions in a skirt made of Muppet.
