## Angela Bassett in Moschino

I'm sad the Queen didn't get her moment in this royal purple, but Jeremy Scott did her justice in a graceful and gorgeous gown. This would have looked amazing onstage. Hollywood, please dial up another juicy role for her IMMEDIATELY.

## Alyson Sandro and Barry Keoghan (in Louis Vuitton)

Everyone looks good here. I love the unusual color choice on Barry, and the splashy buttons.

## Lilly Singh in Christian Siriano

This looked super on the telecast she co-hosted, and is a fitting formal version of her aesthetic.

## Stephanie Hsu in Valentino

She looks delightful, but it felt like necklaces -- OTHER than the now-ubiquitous snake -- were in shorter supply, right? This could have done with one, I think. But it's a small thing. (Or could have been a BIG THING, am I right, Harry Winston???)

## Hong Chau in Prada

I like the collar on this, but I think the dress needed... more. And as usual Prada went wild with the boob darting.

The train at least gave it some zip, but also seemed a bit random? Then again, I think we should be grateful Miuccia didn't just hang bits of the black fringe all over the front. THAT would not have been an improvement.

## Andrea Riseborough in McQueen

When I was trying to dig up a designer credit, I found a Daily Mail piece that called this "stylish." That... is not an adjective I would have chosen. This screams "I am trying to be unobjectionable because this has been a really crappy situation and I just want to pass you by like a lace curtain in a window." I am not sure what her current project is, but I hope this hair is for that. It is... harsh, especially against all that lace.

## Jessie Buckley in Rodarte

[I did say I wanted someone to wear this collection and be super dramatic about it](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/rodartes-inspiration-for-fall-2023-was-gothic-fairies-02-2023/), but I was sort of hoping Andrea would lean into these vibes. Still! I was admittedly not sure WHERE to put this hellstorm, but since the details are overwhelmingly purple -- which are additions she made versus [the all-black runway version](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/rodarte-f-w-2023/rodarte-f23-030-1676084691?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \-- here we are. Something about her clash of head-styling and gown feels more dramatic and more purposeful than Andrea's? She looks like a Victorian widow who decided she HATES EVERYONE.

## Nicole Kimpel and Antonio Banderas

That's a nice color in Nicole, and a VERY shiny tux on Antonio. Everyone can check their own makeup in it.

## Gabriel LaBelle

This could be red, but, you know, purpley burgundy... we're here now. I hope he had a fun night, even though the Fabelmans came up empty.

## Deanne Bray and Troy Kotsur

THAT is DEFINITELY purple. I love his lapel pin, as well.

## Dwayne Johnson

I did NOT expect The Rock in peach satin. One of our live chat commenters said that the flower and the pocket square seemed like overkill together, and I agree. I'd have ditched the flower, I think? But I'm open to negotiations, Rocky.
