Lea Michele

Everything I've read is that she sings the hell out of Florence in Chess, but the acting isn't quite there, and that tracks for me -- I often have felt like she's performing and not acting, or doing Lea doing theater rather than the part she was hired to play. She looks great, though. But, Judy Kuhn forever.

Nicholas Christopher, Lea Michele, Hannah Cruz, Aaron Tveit

Honestly, the only person I haven't read a SINGLE ding on is Hannah Cruz, who plays Svetlana. I've read people who love Tveit, and who think he's the weak link; I've heard Christopher is phenomenal, and that his fake Russian accent is distracting. I'm thrilled for Cruz that she's getting raves across the board. "I Know Him So Well" slaps.

Renee Elise Goldsberry

I wish the pants were cut a bit slimmer, maybe, but I love the peek of gold shoe.

Nikki M. James

I think I wish this didn't mix these materials. Or maybe the colors. One of those things.

Kelsea Ballerini

She wore TWO red outfits after her breakup with Chase Stokes. She is FEELING IT. The flowers here are so well-crafted.

Tessa Thompson

She kept the styling on this appealingly simple. The dress isn't a standout, but hey, she's part of the color story.

Tessa Thompson

I wanted this to be cooler than it is. The tassels and the scarf and the blah shoes... it's all so LUMPY.

Mahershala Ali and Michael B. Jordan

Two handsome devils. This is also what I say to the boys every time they come home from a haircut. Once, when I wasn't home, they had Kevin text me a photo so that I could say it back.

Bradley Cooper

Okay! He always looks a BIT sleep-deprived lately.

Leslie Bibb

Whereas she did a week of Today show hosting and looked wide awake the whole time. I don't love the blazer being so long with those baggy pants, but I do like the duster.

Debbie Allen

Debbie is getting an honorary Oscar this year, which is cool. That material is quite lovely and she looks like the legend she is.

Sara Bareilles

I enjoy her three-tone pin-stripes but wish the shirt were tucked in. Also, I hope her fingers are okay. Did she, like Gretl before her, get them caught in Friedrich's teeth?

Ali Ahn

This did not need the little peek of flesh in the bodice; it's distracting from the nifty work elsewhere.

Anjali Bhimani

Gorgeous!

Cam Newton

This man is a professional Noted Kook.

Lili Reinhart

This is a jumble but... it kinda works?!? The scarf/turtleneck/whatever ties in her shoes, and that coat is GREAT. It all has personality without feeling overly styled.

Lili Reinhart

Cute, but we could shoe this better, right?

Zoey Deutch

SOMEONE needs a new bedsheet this Black Friday.

Zoey Deutch

This style of shoe is FUGTASTIC. But the yellow is fun.

Kristen Bell

As a reminder, 2025 was the year everyone wanted to stop looking hotter in sunglasses.

Mel C

She looks delightful, and her hair! So shiny! She spiced up her life.

Limping Into The Holiday: Let's Clear The Decks

It's a lightbox purge, baby.
