Chloe Grace Moretz in Coach
This frock is a big no. Wrong for the event, wrong on her... given that it's made by Coach, I feel like its best shot at being RIGHT is as a handbag lining.
Ivanka Trump in Prabal Gurung
I don't know why Prabal is so hot for his tortured dresses at times -- his most wonderful moments to me are the ones like these. It doesn't look like a ton from the front...
Ivanka Trump
But it's EVERYTHING from the back.
Dylan Lauren
From one successful offspring of a renowned business person, to another. With SIGNIFICANTLY worse results.
Rita Ora in Tom Ford
I thought I had her in my red slideshow, but apparently not. This is... fine? Actually, it's about 100 percent better than what she wore last year, which was that demented ballerina-inspired Donna Karan.
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union (in Zac Posen)
She looks pretty, but no more so than usual -- as in, there's nothing very Fashion's Biggest Night about it. He looks like a dignitary from a small and heretofore undiscovered principality.
Alison Brie in Prabal Gurung
This is... not successful. The color is great on her but it's pulling her down somehow.
Carey Mulligan in Dior
The usual. But flowier.
Imogen Poots (and her mom) in Alberta Ferretti
Ugh. Fumble. NEXT.
Claire Danes in Valentino, and Hugh Dancy
This is a LITTLE bit of a twist from her usual.
Li Yuchun in Givenchy
That coat is SO COOL, and the sheer pants are SO HEARTBREAKING.
Li Bingbing
This ordinarily would do nothing for me, but on a night where I wanted more experimentation and less defaults to netting, I'm going to applaud the weirdo silhouette.
Adele Exarchopoulos in Valentino
This is not nearly as bad as her facial expression would seem to indicate.
Vanessa Hudgens in H&M
This is very Junior Varsity, but she does look cute in it.
Sophie Turner in Burberry
This all looks undercooked to me. It's slinky, yes, and that's a nice lip, but zzz on the styling and a C- for overall creativity.
Ruth Wilson in Oscar de la Renta
This night missed Mr. de la Renta very much. While this is an interesting dress, the skirt to me is WAY too informal for this. It needed to be a true ball gown.
Ruth Wilson in Oscar de la Renta
However, the front is certainly nice. There are snippets of things here that give me hope the next collection will not be as onerous to me as the heir's first one was. (I sympathize with how impossible that must have been.)
