This is a very intriguing getup and I've decided this was his argument for placement in a period drama.
Jayme Lawson in Loewe

This is EXCELLENT fun. She generally got a bit overshadowed in the Sinners hullabaloo, but not in this. It's one of the best of the night for me.
Barbie Ferreira in GapStudio by Zac Posen

She looks SO MUCH like Rachel Weisz Jr. to me here, wow. Also, this is all pretty good until we get to the peek of thick ruffled underneath, which is the flourish I would have deleted.

The back is a big bow with a hint of shirtsleeves, which is clever.

I THINK this is navy, or mostly navy, but... well, let's just enjoy whatever it is. Zac did a nice job on this night -- the Gap DNA is definitely present but elevated, and while I would never shell out as much money as he wants for other GapStudio stuff and kinda wish he'd just reopen his own atelier already, I appreciate the work.

Excellent. It pleases the court.

This is SUCH a strong slideshow. Gosh, I hope no one comes along to derail it, she says, knowingly...

... oh.
Kathy Bates

This is perfectly fine - she's a beautiful woman and ice blue is beautiful on her - but I fully support her going the Amy Madigan route of quirky suits.
Diane Warren

I wonder if, by this point, she doesn't WANT an Oscar because she'll always wonder if they just gave in out of fatigue. The teal color is great, but as usual she's got one kerchief too many.
