This is delightful, and I think even just a hint more color/less neutral on her lips would've sealed it. Lean into the vibrancy!

Apologies to all involved, but I admit I DID look at this photo and think, "Oh, this is a dude mansplaining something to his niece."

I thought this was going to turn out to be Rodarte. If I boast when I guess right, I should probably also tell you when I whiff. The cape to me is more interesting than the slip dress underneath it. The whole thing screams Witch Sleepover.

This looks more like a knockoff from an anonymous mall store than high fashion.

May really is a clear blend of Emily Mortimer and Alessandro here. I love his suit but think the black shirt detracts from it a little; she looks lovely. (She was in Noah Baumbach's last movie, so I assume she's here to support. I forgot to get a picture of Noah. He looks like himself.)
Billy Crudup

I also think HIS suit would look better without whatever he's wearing under it. White shirts aren't SUCH a bad idea.

I honestly think she and Amal could have traded lipsticks.

The Daughters Sandler were pretty charming in Happy Gilmore 2. (They are not in this.) As much as I just kvetched about the dark shirt brigade, I am grading Adam on a huge curve because nothing he's wearing is sweatpants.
