## Glenn Close in Carolina Herrera

If I'm going to be picky, AND I AM, I think the clutch should have been a contrasting color. ANY contrasting color.

## Ruth Carter

Mandatory Credit: Photo by ETIENNE LAURENT/EPA-EFE/REX/Shutterstock (10118627ic) Ruth Carter arrives for the 91st annual Academy Awards ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, USA, 24 February 2019\. The Oscars are presented for outstanding individual or collective efforts in 24 categories in filmmaking. Arrivals - 91st Academy Awards, Los Angeles, USA - 24 Feb 2019

Here is someone who came to win and then DID. I am glad it worked out for one of them, and that Ruth got to go up there FULLY DECKED OUT.

## Danai Gurira in Brock

I was NOT expecting Danai to go with Brock Collection ([I had this pegged for Margot Robbie](https://gofugyourself.com/photos/brock-collection-fw-2019/infoimaxtree-com-12168?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), although in retrospect I disagree with myself even without this). I love her, and I love a dramatic gold gown, but somehow this is not the knockout punch I'd wanted. It's almost... shlumpy? Am I nuts?

## Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton

Danai would've looked good in this, actually. She does well with architecture. Having noted that, I actually like this on Emma. As we noted for Cosmo, LV seems to be trying to make her stuff that feels special to its relationship with her -- less cookie-cutter runway than what it gives Jennifer Connelly, for example -- and the simplicity of everything BUT the sleeves really works. My only quibble is whether the bodice looks like she's wearing puppy ears.

## Michelle Yeoh in Elie Saab

She is achingly glamorous.

## Amandla Stenberg in Miu Miu

She looks beautiful, but I really, really wish the top was backed by the same fabric as the bottom, instead of a nude-look corset thing. I'm so distracted with worrying I can see through it -- which I cannot, but still. Don't make me stress for no reason, Miuccia.

## Jennifer Lopez (in Tom Ford) and A-Rod

"HOLA LOVERS. I am dressed as the broken mirror we have been holding up to society as we fight for HA HA just kidding I am dressed as the time I threw a coffee cup in my closet when I found out that *Second Act* did not get nominated."

## Molly Sims in Zuhair Murad

## Brie Larson in Celine

Celine has wriggled its way into the awards conversation this year, both with silver gowns: on Gaga at the Grammys, and now here. This is very pretty on her, EXCEPT it seems to be gapping quite a bit at the sides of the bodice.

## Octavia Spencer in Siriano

She has been wearing Christian more and more over Tadashi Shoji, but I wonder if that was the right pick here. I LOVE the fabric but the bodice... I worry it's mumsy on her.

## Emilia Clarke in Balmain

Does the draping over the abdomen make this look baggy? Man, I'm picky this year.

## Jorma Taccone, Marielle Heller

Marielle directed Can You Ever Forgive Me, and she seems to have created a wonderful working environment for that whole team. This was notably sparklier on TV, and also, I didn't know until right now that she's married to Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone (also briefly from *Girls*). INFORMATION. I don't love her dress, but I loved hearing her interviewed with Melissa McCarthy.

## Amy Adams in Versace

I wanted to lead with this closeup because it was ALSO more notably sparkly in person. I'm also of course TOTALLY willing to take a closer look at that fabulous art-deco necklace.

I love the pattern on this, but for some reason, ALL I can stare at are the boob cups. They seem so... pronounced. Extremely emphasized. It certainly fits well, though, even though her boobs and I might be in a staring contest.

## Yalitza Aparicio in Rodarte

At first I worried that this might be Prom-y, but you know what, who cares. It fits perfectly, it's a standout color on a night where so many went pink (and I think NO ONE besides her and Olivia Colman wore green), this is a total princess moment for her. She was not expected to win, but [the video of her finding out she was nominated was SO TOUCHING](https://remezcla.com/film/watch-yalitza-aparacio-reaction-oscar-nomination/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Truly, the cliche is accurate here: I think the nomination *was* the win, and she seems to have reveled in all of it. As she should. 

## Ruth Carter again

How could I NOT end on this joyful sight?
