Nicole wasn't nominated here, so it was a rare ceremony -- from the Emmys until now -- in which she did not go home with any hardware. But the Oscars are something of a culmination of all the Hollywood self-love, and so this feels like a festive farewell to her time running the table with *Big Little Lies* (well, at least until season two, whenever that happens). And when she hit the carpet, the experts on the E! post-show -- led by Brad Goreski -- were like, "PRAISE EVERYONE! THIS IS THE FASHION MOMENT." And it WAS a moment, that is true. Her custom Armani is... sleek, and shiny, and... let's be real: Reader, I laughed. She looks like she's wearing a formal lap desk. Which actually seems quite smart for a long awards ceremony; she could pull out a crossword, or make her shopping list. I appreciate that she went bold, but I keep those to be pouches from which she brandishes two bags of Ruffles, or a pair of sneakers.

The other miracle is that this managed to feel unexpected, despite it also calling to mind immediate comparisons to her 2007 Balenciaga:

It's clear Nicole does love a statement bow. I want to give the edge to the Balenciaga. But I still giggle every time I look at that giant blue thing -- it's like Violet Beauregard won *Project Runway* \-- so maybe the mirth factor alone should be worth my vote.
