Emma Stone custom Emilia Wickstead and Dave McCary

If you asked me to guess what Emma Stone would wear to any given event, NEVER in my LIFE would I say the words, "custom Emilia Wickstead." I like Emilia Wickstead! But this feels a little bit like they asked EW to do LV.

Natasha Lyonne in Rochas

I have grown to hate the phrase "understood the assignment," so I'll just write that I think Natasha really grasped exactly what the wardrobe should be for this particular event. This is GREAT on her.

Natasha Rothwell

And she looks like she OWNS the White Lotus, which I love.

Moeka Hoshi in Balmain

Believe or not, I love this dress. But I do think it's too Capital F Formal for this particular party.

Andrew Scott

It's apt that a person who was in Ripley is wearing something that makes him look as if he were recently stabbed.

Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor

THIS COAT! Actually -- THIS ENTIRE LOOK!

Chloe Guidry

This is SUPER pretty on her but I might have also saved it for, say, the Emmys?

Jay Ellis

DREAMY.

Cristin Milioti in Danielle Frankel

I am underwhelmed. I mean, she certainly does not look bad; I think her styling choices, always understated, are maybe getting to feel a little same-y? Lots of time to regroup before the Emmys, though.

Lily Gladstone

Whereas this feels like a swerve for her! She looks like a glam astronaut in a 1960s b-movie and I mean that in the best way possible.

Ethan Herisse in Prada

This is great; I think Prada's menswear is working out better than its womenswear lately. (Maybe women should just start wearing their suits.)

Brandon Wilson

Do I get it? No. Do I also think he looks cool? Yes.

Kathryn Hahn in Rochas

On the other hand: I love her and you likely do, too, and I also do NOT know what's happening with her styling lately. This hurts my face.

Ryan Destiny in custom Off-White

This feels like something she picked out to wear to an event for Dune.

Luke Tennie

This jacket is fab; he's got great style.

Katie Aselton and Mark Duplass

Sure! Who's gonna get mad at a polka dot?

Mel Eslyn and Jay Duplass

Plenty of people would probably get mad at a shirt that reads "abortion," but not at this particular event, where I suspect she got a lot of high-fives. This is also a great example for dressing for the party you're attending.

Joan Chen

She looks like an ethereal 70s goddess.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste

And she looks like the heroine in a Hitchcock film. (To be clear: both of these statements are complimentary.)

Charmaine Bingwa

This is very pretty. People are REALLY ready for spring.

Sonequa Martin-Green in Khoon Hooi

As I just said!

Natalie Morales in Silvia Tcherassi

She looks like she's seated at a table with Megan and Don Draper during one of their trips to Hawaii. (Not a bad thing!)

Melissa Roxburgh

This dress is SO referential to the iconic Baywatch swimsuit that I think the shoes and bag feel really wrong with it. The dress itself, though, is good on her and her head looks great.

Justice Smith in Valentino

VERY Alessandro Michele and arguably overstyled, but if you like this vibe -- I do -- you will like this.

RaMell Ross

YES. TELL ME MORE.

James Scully, Martine, and Julio Torres

I confess that I absolutely do not get this at all but I hope they're having fun.

Aidy Bryant in Naya Rea

She love a super-femme floaty pink moment and this is one of her best ones.

Hunter Schafer in Prada

I don't know if I love this on her, BUT! I actually think it's perfect specifically for this event.

Patti LuPone

I feel like everyone who goes to dinner at Patti's house inevitably is overserved.

Karen Pittman

Shout-out to everyone's Crystal Barbie!!

Elizabeth Olsen in Erdem

I like Erdem but this is too washed out. I keep trying to think who might suit it better, though, and coming up blank. Elle Fanning, maybe?

Alana Haim in custom Louis Vuitton

This is technically adept.

Molly Shannon

She looks very cute and also like she bought this from Lulu's for her anniversary trip to Vegas. (No shade; I bought something VERY similar for my own trip to Vegas last summer.)

Sebastian Stan

He is working those pleats.

Colman Domingo in D&G

And he is working EVERYTHING.

The Colors and Patterns of the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards Were a Real Mixed Bag

Some people might have actually been wearing a mixed bag.
