Can I interest you in a cape? (I can always interest ME in a cape.)

Dear Emma Stone, are you shopping for Spider-Man photocalls? You're welcome. PS: Say hi to Andrew for me.

There was, in fact, a lot of photocall-ready little day dresses in this.

As well as a GREAT dress for your springtime city hall wedding.

Or even your more formal wedding. In fact, as many cute little shorter dresses as we saw here, the bulk of it yelled, "HELLO WHY DON'T YOU WEAR ME TO AN AWARDS SHOW?"

I don't know who the patron saint of capes is, but I pray to her that SOMEONE wears this SOMEWHERE and that it's not Katy Perry.

You guys know I love a pattern on a formal gown.

SOMEONE will wear this unlined and with dark undies, and I hope it's someone I dislike so I can make fun of her with a clear conscience. (Lined, though, I think it's lovely.)

This looks fantastic in this photo, but I wasn't in love with it in person: the back is ALL illusion netting and the model walked very Paris Hilton Pelvis First, which make said netting very crumpled and wrinkly. It might not be so problematic on someone who wasn't close to doing a backbend (though she looks lovely head-on).

Very basic, but pretty. There is a TV star somewhere who is going to wear this to the SAGs in case she gets one for Best Ensemble. Mark my words.

This was spectacular in person and someone will not be able to resist wearing it to something, and I am worried it's not going to photograph as well as I'd like it to on the red carpet. There's also a long-sleeved version.

Told you.

This skirt -- it's a velvet top/metallic skirt --looked slightly more gunmetal in person and I actually think this is fabulous and I want Cate Blanchett to put it on her body.

Somewhere, Michelle Dockery is making a mental note that she cannot allow herself to be talked into this lest she get endless Lady Mary jokes.

Velvet and sleeves are so cozy for fall. I love seeing formal gowns that actually are seasonally appropriate.

This is ALSO velvet and as lovely as the model is, I want to see it on a blonde. Someone let Margot Robbie know.
