Brie Larson
When I first saw this on E!, they were panning up over the bodice, and I blinked because I thought maybe my eyes were blurring.
Once I blinked that sensation away, though, I decided I quite like this. The details on the skirt give it a nice dose of romance. Although I do agree with the people who were unsure about the WWE Championship Belt she was saddled with there, which we should now examine in close-up.

It IS intense. I also don't really like that it tapers such that you can see the black band underneath because if the point is to obscure it then OBSCURE IT. I do also think the red jewel in the middle reads a wee like a gunshot wound. Honestly? It looks almost like a hasty add, as if her stylist panicked when she saw the waistband and realized it desperately needed a flourish.

What I had written here got deleted. HOORAY. Basically, I was noting that from the back the belt doesn't look any less like last-minute problem solving. Even if it WASN'T, and was in play all along, it gives off the appearance of a quick fix. (Her hair adornments are glorious, though.)

From afar, though, and from this angle, it doesn't bother me as much. And that skirt is really lovely as she moves.
Too often, these custom frocks end up bizarrely tailored, so at least Brie's is an immaculate fit. On balance I am very, very fond of this. Perhaps that's because, on balance, I was not very fond of much else.

Her makeup always looks beautiful, though. Give that Glam Squadder a raise, Brie.
Brie Larson in Monse
This was perhaps one of the only Monse dresses at that show that I didn't THOROUGHLY dislike. But I'm still not on board, particularly. I don't like the matching satiny shoes with it, and while the very top is okay, the skirt shape isn't ideal. It's not as loving to her body as the Gucci, for sure, but on the plus side, it's SUPER loving to free passed apps.
Brie Larson in Chanel
She looks good in this, but that is not the same thing as suggesting I LIKE this. It might be a skirt and a top, and while I don't understand the key ring in the belt, I do at least like the rest of it. The top, though... not sure about the fabrics going on there.
Brie Larson in Chanel at the Independent Spirit Awards
I love this on her, though. A much better Chanel. It's a total festival, and it's perfect for this event.

I also love the Independent Spirits because they all show up in sunglasses, and we all know everyone is INFINITELY MORE HIDEOUS in sunglasses. Har.
