Danielle Deadwyler in Carolina Herrera

This is very, very pretty on her -- and she won for Best Breakthrough, so she picked a great night to go big. I do wish we had saucier jewelry with this, but that may come as we get deeper into this thing (also, she may not be a Dripping With Diamonds person).

Michelle Williams in Prada

I feel like... we are looking at an outfit that was cut to be flexible for her post-partum body, which for all women changes unpredictably, but then they forgot to do a final tailoring session. She as a person looks great -- I am still in love with her bob -- but she shines in spite of the dress, and gets no assistance from it.

Thuso Mbedu in Louis Vuitton

Meanwhile, look what Michelle's old paramour Louis did for Thuso. Maybe Michelle got out at the wrong time? After years of us wanting her to change it up... although I stand by versatility being a good thing in the long run. But hot damn, this is fabulous. I am already calling this for our Best slideshow at the end of 2023.

Nina Hoss

I had pretty high hopes for her after her dress at the New York film fest, but this is flat for me.

Gina Prince-Bythewood

YES to this jacket, my goodness.

Hong Chau

Cute! I would ALSO like to put her on the bracelet train, though.

Jeanne Moore, Brendan Fraser

I remain very happy for him, and deeply, deeply conflicted about the movie/role that's being celebrated.

Julia Butters in Philosophy

I just got a STRONG Lily Collins vibe off this.

Paul Dano

Few things delight me as much as this combination of insouciant eyebrow and a pointing finger. I kind of want to open a bar called The Insouciant Eyebrow now.

Sally Field

I am VERY into the leather look on Ms. Field. Brava.

Sarah Polley

Like Danielle Deadwyler before her, Sarah has started the year embracing color in a surprising way. I dearly wish this were tailored, or perhaps, tailored differently.

Nischelle Turner

That's a lotta leg for a co-host, Nischelle!

The Beverly Johnson

That's ALSO a lot of leg, but she's an OG supermodel legend who also doesn't have to spend all night on stage wrangling everything else safely.

Austin Butler

He looks dreamy, as usual. Elvis looks terrible, but I thought that in the bits of SNL I watched, he committed himself endearingly.

Brian Tyree Henry

"The gloves trend isn't over until I SAY IT'S OVER."

Udo Kier

Udo Kier remains wholly himself and on-brand.

Colin Farrell

As does Colin, who often looks faintly startled at these things. Handsome, maybe a tad rumpled, and startled.

Danielle Deadwyler Shifts Gears into Pink

And the rest of the Palm Springs Film Festival.
