2015: Laura Dern in Matthew Williamson
This is GREAT. So much attention is paid to what people wear on the biggest stages, but I often wonder which outfits are the ones the celebs remember, and if they harbor affection for some of the ones most people don't remember. This is super and I hope she holds it dear.
2014: Lupita Nyong'o in Elie Saab
Gorgeous, and brilliantly fit.
2014: Amy Adams in Juan Carlos Obando
This is one of my very favorite things Amy Adams has ever worn. Big dots! Small dots! Great shoulders!
2015: Reese in Michael Kors
Reese is one of the masters of the cocktail dress.
2015: Ava DuVernay
Ava is always fantastic. She's a great example of someone who tends to stick to the same silhouettes -- at least, so my memory tells me -- and yet the colors provide enough variety, and the fit is good enough, that I always feel happy and satisfied.
2015: Ava DuVernay
I love it. I LOVE IT, AVA. WEAR IT AGAIN.
2014: Melissa McCarthy
I love this pattern, and the unexpected purse choice. Her hair volumizer was turned up to 12 that day, apparently.
2011: Jennifer Lawrence
Okay, I lied, they're not all from 2014 and 2015. Apparently I grabbed this one of Jennifer Lawrence from Olden Times, back in the "Winter's Bone" era. She was a baby celebrity -- no one had really heard of her -- and when you consider that, this is pretty damn good. I would have lost the belt, though.,
2012: Emily Blunt
Emily was promoting Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, which is supposed to be a great movie, but could not have picked a title that made me LESS psyched to ever try it out. I do not like salmon. I do not like fishing. I have no beef with Yemen but two strikes was enough. But the dress, the shoes, and the lipstick are aces.
2011: Natalie Portman
This feels like something a person used to prove an unnecessary point: that, yes, technically you CAN take a blouse and a skirt and turn them into a dress.
2012: Intern George and Stacy Keibler
I often forget these two dated. She was on his arm for the awards run of The Descendants. She looks unimpeachable here and I bet she has some GREAT stories that she will never, ever be able to tell because there is an iron-clad eternal NDA.
2014: Naomie Harris
This is very, very pretty. If it isn't lined, it's one of the rare instances where that succeeds.
2014: Sandra Bullock in Alex Perry
And now we're teetering. I like so much of the IDEA of this Sandy B dress, but the dinky little extra chest panel and the way it doesn't REALLY play nicely with the sleeves... that could be better, and then of course it needs a fresher shoe.
2014: Marisa Tomei
Marisa is in her jammies, but clearly borrowed Melissa McCarthy's volumizer.
2015: Julianne Moore in Delpozo
This wants so badly to be cute. I think it even wants to be darling. But it's just so... half-baked. And she ALSO needs to go shoe shopping.
2015: Felicity Jones in Monique Lhuillier
X marks a spot. Except it's an X of DOOM. What a mess. It also doesn't feel very Lhuillier to me.
Charo
I had to send you on your way with some Charo attitude. Serve it on the rest of this Tuesday, IF YOU DARE.
