This is fine. The boots seem wrong with it, and the ruffle looks like she tucked her napkin into her neckline. So fine is probably as far as I'm going to go.

Greta Gerwig in Gucci

The necktie is killing me. It's both a feature AND a bug. It's part of what's supposed to be creating interest, and yet it also seems like a touch too much. I laughed at it, which isn't ideal.

Florence Pugh in Monse

One of the Monseters went to Notre Dame, and I REALLY wish I loved his work. This is just so underwhelming. It's part sling, it has only one forearm sheath, it's pulling her chest up and compressing it to different degrees, and it doesn't look fun to wear. That's a LOT of negatives.

Sandy Powell

Whereas THIS is both quirky and perfect.

Is that a fake spider on her shoulder? Is this otherwise eminently reasonable and even potentially cute coat being ARACHNIFIED? WHY.

I guess. Sure. (I'm landing on "that haircut is too severe for Charlize right now," also.)

This is very polished and exactly like lots of other things she's worn. (So... not wasteful, maybe?)

Kathy Bates

"I wanted to wear a scarf that reminds me of that one rug the Queen hates. SO I DID."

"Listen, if Kathy Bates can leave her sunglasses on, so can I."

Taika Waititi

"HELLO EVERYONE? This is for the OSCARS. Where are the OSCAR NOMINEES and why are you in shades?"

Bong Joon-ho

"I DARE YOU not to vote for Parasite."

I feel like Ray Romano would play Noah in the movie of... whatever is happening in his life that is movie-worthy.

Brad Pitt

"Jen isn't here. What OTHER rumor can I start? Is Charlize free later?"

Quentin Tarantino

"I WAS TOLD THERE'D BE BOWLING."
