So, Laverne would've flown from LA the morning after the Emmys -- or even the night of, I guess, if she left the parties early enough -- to be in NYC in time to look twinkling at this. This is SO SUPERB. I just... I am really in love with it.

Why so smirky, Maggie? This is the best thing you've worn in ages! You killed it.

The side abs aren't my world-favorite, but honestly, it's still a pretty smashing dress. Are people just getting better at this?!?

Gina Gershon

I MEAN. Gina Gershon busted out a cape! She looks awesome. Also, she's the only good part of Riverdale from last season.

I keep forgetting these two are together. This is a nice frock, but it's much more daytime than the ones that came before it, so it suffers a little in comparison.

Gloria Reuben

And, score one for Jeanie Boulet.

Courtney B. Vance

He ALSO attended the Emmys. Presumably he had to leave Angela behind to shoot 911.

Ellen Burstyn

I say this with affection, and as no insult: I cannot wait to be the age where I can just throw on a MASSIVE fancy scarf and it makes the outfit dressy. Can that age be now?

Jill Hennessy

Yes, we see, thank you!
