Tiffany Haddish in Rami Kadi

Rami Kadi got a few gowns placed last night, which is impressive -- maybe later I'll post the runway show and we can get a sense of it all. This is a super choice on Tiffany; it's got a lot of verve and it's creative and it matches her level of personality. Honestly, the hair seems too staid for her.

Careful, though. Don't personality your boob right out of there.

Selma Blair in Ralph & Russo

Selma went public last year (?) with an MS diagnosis, and the cane here is custom and I gather something she frequently needs to use? Anyway, this is a flawless amount of drama, as far as I'm concerned (I do not mean that her MS is drama; just that she built around the cane very well).

Lupita in Oscar de la Renta

We waited all night to see Lupita in this, because for whatever reason she arrived late to the Oscars and didn't get to the red carpet, and didn't do anything during the show. It's pretty, and her face is divine.

Winnie Harlow in Monsoori

Winnie Harlow is beautiful, a very adept model, and someone who usually can rise above any level of nonsense. This is not one of those times. She is lost in there.

Leona Lewis in Christian Siriano

I assume that hand is reaching in to fluff this to its best advantage. It's just kinda hanging there right now. Lady Holiday will be very envious of this design, although I'm not sure that's a compliment.

Gabrielle Union in Valentino

She did not hold back. No pun intended.

From the front, this looks pinched, though. But remember when she built a Fug Madness run off of looking crazy at this party a few years ago? We're in a much better place now.

Elizabeth Banks in Monique Lhuillier

I wish this were prettier. Honestly, that top feels like the kind of thing someone should have worn with skinny black pants -- and we might not have liked it, but it would have been more visually interesting than a red dress with a skin belt.

FIona Xie

It's too bad Kitty Pong couldn't make it to the actual Oscars, because she had the color story down pat.

Angela Sarafyan in Celia Kritharioti

This is the fourth one of the night for Celia K. Nicely done by that team, although this one looks a bit like a hastily duped Giambattista Valli.

Madelaine Petsch in Paolo Sebastian

It's hard to tell really -- I just couldn't resist the dramatic angle -- but I THINK the hair and lipstick are helping this? The color is so blah, and the top MIGHT be styled to look like it's romantically falling off. I don't know. I appreciate it, at least.

Halsey in Vivienne Westwood

I do not think her hair could look worse. This whole thing, in fact, feels sloppy to me. One hallmark of Halsey's bad fashion is that we're usually at least saying, "BUT HOW GORGEOUS IS HER FACE," and here that's getting lost too.

Shay Mitchell in Labourjoisie

She looks great in this. And would have without holding the skirt out, but whatever, she has legs, she knows how to use them, etc.

Cynthia Erivo in Mary Katrantzou

Look how immaculately that fits her.

Lana Condor

Bless her dramatically sleeved heart. This may sound crazy, because it's so much fabric, but I think this needs to be a touch longer, maybe even knee-length and sleek.

Zoe Lister Jones

I like her sleeves, and how SUSPICIOUS she looks all the time. I mentioned once that she's the face I think of when we write the Bea character in The Royal We, and I stand by that.

Zoey Deutch in Armani

This is so, so cute, and does need a bracelet.

Bellamy Young

Mellie Grant's makeup doesn't quite sing with this, does it?

Hailee Steinfeld in Elie Saab

THE PLASTIC SHOES. STOP THE MADNESS.

Camila Mendes

She looks perfect. I LOVE THIS. Well done, young Riverdale.

Aja Naomi King in Elie Saab

Subtle! Actually, I kind of like the edge on her. On How To Get Away With Murder she plays the polar opposite of this.

Camila Cabello in Monique Lhuillier

Objectively this is fine, but the issue I have with it is that I very rarely dig lace. So it's a whole LOT of something that isn't my personal bag. 

Kat Graham in Maticevski

Oh my God, it's like Monse melted.

Joey King in Yanina

This gown is from the 2016 collection, and is based on the works of Alexander Pushkin, if you are curious. I wish we could redo the bodice so that it doesn't need the dark netting; the way it cuts across her chest distracts me.

Shonda Rhimes in Gucci

That belt is certainly big.. 

Marcia Gay Harden in Tadashi Shoji

This is not the EXACT gown we've seen before (once on a winner this same night), but it's VERY CLOSE. They are kin. And it's still great.

Kate Beckinsale in Giambattista Valli

She looks so flummoxed to have brought the matching bedspread. Did she not feel it there?

Chrissy Teigen in Marchesa

This is new Marchesa. It is not a great Marchesa. It is definitely, to me, not worth the grossness of dealing with a Marchesa that is still legally tied to (and lining the pockets of) Harvey Weinstein.

Julianne Hough

The big statement here appears to be, "Please look at the full contours of my bosom, and not my manure-colored skirt."

Leslie Mann in Ralph & Russo

This isn't that big of a statement, but it's sizably feathered. It just can't compete with Lupita's in size or quantity, so it seems wee by comparison.

Malin Akerman in Alex Perry

Okay, I love this. I do wish some wrangler had told her to give the skirt a firm tug south before she hit the step-and-repeat, but this is VERY fun.

Joanna Newsom and Andy Samberg

This dress says, "There was only a little of that fabric left, but PLENTY of old tutus."

Ashley Madekwe

That is loud and fun and probably the kind of thing we'd have clapped for on Constance Wu,

Juliette Lewis

HER big statement may have been not wanting anyone to recognize her, and it SINCERELY took me a minute.

Big and Bold at the 2019 Oscars Post-Parties

Well, that is, big and bold stuff that wasn't naked, or pants, or otherwise already featured.
