This is sweet; all the couples at this event seen very loved up. Venice IS highly romantic.

I generally enjoy Alessandro's work but I kinda hate this. At quick glance, I thought the bow was a fanny pack. Maybe Billy really needs snacks?

Amal Clooney and George Clooney

This is so 80s and dramatic; I confess that I love it.

I mean, it's very over the top, but also...why not?

Amal Clooney and George Clooney

See? Everyone's being very lovey.

Shailene Woodley

This is also enjoyably 80s but feels maybe a little underbaked?

Shailene Woodley

The back is cute! But it feels a little...sparse, maybe?

Eve Hewson in Schiaparelli

THIS is perfectly dramatic, though. I also love the dark lip with it.

Laura Dern in Armani

I kinda hate it but I have to confess that I would like it on Cate Blanchett. I feel like Laura sometimes dresses rather editorially, when she really shines in a more classic American sportswear vibe -- rather like Jennifer Lawrence to me.

Riley Keough in Chloé

I loathe this, I am sorry, Riley! The top was last seen on Joan Collins in Dynasty, the skirt is a nothingburger, and BLACK SHOES seems like an insane choice. That necklace is beyond, though.

Molly Sims

This is extremely pleasant and good on her.

Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig in custom Rodarte

Sure! All those diamonds on Greta are a very nice touch. Rodarte ALWAYS nails a custom order.

Emily Mortimer

I secretly sort of love this dress but it feels underdone compared to everyone else? It's almost daytime next to the ballgowns.

Alba Rohrwacher

SOMEONE enjoyed The Gilded Age. (I actually love this though.)

Greta Gerwig in Prada

Prada strikes again! This feels like it all needs to be hoiked up a little bit -- like her stylist needs to pull down the back of her shirt a bit. I think it might need a belt?
