Kelsea Ballerini

There's a shot of her on her makeup artist's Instagram where the top of the dress seems to fit way worse, and might even have a different shape. It made me wonder if they gave her a CHOICE of similar black frocks. She looks perfectly nice, but the dress is dullsville for me. I'm not sure I love his slippers look, either.

Caleb Landry Jones, Jojo T. Gibbs

Jojo looks cute in Chanel. How often do I say that about anyone? My first experience with Caleb Landry Jones, and possibly my only one, was the Twin Peaks revival. He seems rough around the edges in a way that's fun at these things. Like, his shirt is gapping and he's making a goofy face and actually looking at him now I feel like he should have been in Daisy Jones and the Six.

I also do appreciate horsing around. Everyone there is tired; they want some levity.

Caleb Landry Jones and Katya Zvereva

"Let's proposition THAT ONE."

Luc Besson and wife Virginie Besson-Silla

Well. Luc's wife is a babe, and that shirt is REALLY cool.

Director Luc Besson with his wife Virginie Silla and their children Sateen Besson, Mao Besson, and Thalia Besson

This is a very attractive and well-turned-out family, my goodness.

Karine Silla and Virginie Silla

Here Virginie is with her sister, a director/actress/writer who also has a child from an affair with Gerard Depardieu. GOSSIP! I like Karine's coat.

Jojo Gibbs in Chanel

She is two for two with Chanel! She looks so great in this.

Georgia May Jagger

Abdominal fireworks!

Michele Lamy in Rick Owens

Rick Owens is just... so... specific.

Giulia Salemi

She has a Kim Kardashian mood board, right?

Aleksandra Petkanova

Frankly, she might too.

Zoe Pastelle Holthuizen

This would make a very pretty wine bag, but that is not an insult to it as a dress.

Vicky Kaya

Other than the heeled thong sandals, I LOVE this.

Caterina Murino

SO elegant.

Federica Garcia (in Act No 1) and Máximo Hollander

I want that to sit an inch or two higher on her. His shirt is so costumey; it's cracking me up.

He loved it so much, he wore it for the premiere, too. Federica changed into Antonio Grimaldi, and I like it so much better. It's dramatic and luxe.

Raya Abirached

All the pink sparkly jewelry with this dress MIIIIGHT teeter it over the top for me. I might've gone simpler?

Ginta Biku

If you assume she worked those ruffles...

... then you are CORRECT.

Adelya Bakhtiyarova

This looks like they cobbled it together from three different prototypes.

Alice Diop

This is lovely and simple and feels like a nightgown in a Jane Austen movie. Except of course that it would be white.

Simona Jakstaite

I think of this as The Ribcage Dress.

Loredana Salanta

I think of this as the Too Much Train dress.

Renata Sanfilippo

And I think of this as barely any dress. It's more of an... apparatus.

Hers might be... a gentle miss?
