Kristen Bell in Cong Tri

This is fun -- this is not a ding, but I sort of want to see it on an older woman? I feel like an old lady could ROCK THIS -- but I wish she were wearing a giant cuff bracelet.

Wanda Sykes

This is not un-snazzy but I also thought she was wearing a travel pillow around her neck here.

Jharrel Jerome

He looks VERY cool in this and also a little bit like he's starring in a reboot of Miami Vice.

Gwendoline Christie in Dior

Speaking of very cool. (This is from Dior's menswear and it looks RAD on her.)

Sam Heughan

"HELLO! I'm in velvet."

Sterling K. Brown

He looks incredibly sharp in this. One of the best things of the last five years is the professional success of Sterling K. Brown.

Annie Murphy

She looks mostly great in this but I MIGHT argue that the blazer is should either be a leetle BIGGER or a leetle smaller? That's...very persnickety of me.

Christopher Abbott

"I TOO AM IN VELVET."

Andrew Scott

"I am NOT in velvet but this is still VERY visually stimulating."

Brett Gelman

In which Brett Gelman is dressed like 1986's Cocaine Salesman of the Year.

William Jackson Harper and Ali Ahn

This looks like a cute photo from their wedding. (They're not technically married, as far I know...but maybe this will be inspirational. I love him. We have a character in the new book who is 100% meant to be played by William Jackson Harper in a movie. Do we think he can do the British accent? Sure, right? We'll figure it out.)

Mandy Moore in Elie Saab

I mean, who doesn't like a cape every now and then?

Rain Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix

In which Rooney Mara was like, "meh, I only go to the really top tier awards shows. Take your sister and have fun, honey!"

Cush Jumbo

Meanwhile, Cush Jumbo looks like the richest member of your yacht club -- and she's out for REVENGE.

Walton Goggins

"More velvet."

Greta Gerwig in Alberta Ferretti

"MORE VELVET."

Merritt Wever

"EVEN MORE VELVET."

Marcus Scribner

This jacket is rad. The End.

Keegan-Michael Key, Elisa Key

I truly just included them because he's so handsome. (She always looks great.)

Taye Diggs

Is this really INTERESTING? Maybe. Would I ever deny you Taye Digg? NO.

Aimee Carrero in Gabriela Hearst

I sort of wish her accessories were a different color. (That bag is so cute, though.)

Milo Ventimiglia

It is amazing that he is still on This Is Us despite being dead for YEARS. 

Justin Hartley

I truly thought Fox Crane here was trying an ascot. 

Taika Waititi

OBVIOUSLY.

The less interesting trousers are someone else's problem.
