Viola Davis in Christopher John Rogers
The only note I have here is that they messed up the length, I think. It probably shouldn't be tenting that way on the ground. But it's such a small thing when overall this is just absolutely, thoroughly delightful, and despite the dress being so strong, this all comes together to showcase HER, the wearer.
Michelle Williams in Dior
Okay, so this makes three in a row that are not LV, if anyone's trend-watching. Which I am. Of course. Always. I LOVE this variety for her, and while I didn't like the potholder she wore last time, this Dior is rather fun for Michelle. I like the skirt more than the top, and her non-makeup look doesn't QUITE work with it, but at least it's interesting. We are INTERESTED, Michelle!
Laura Dern in Ralph Lauren
I also would've gone red lip here, but maybe I'm too obvious and basic ("MAYBE?!?" you say, and you're right). Otherwise, I love it. This is so bright and lively.
Mia Goth in D&G
She is a very committed D&G wearer -- although I'm not sure this is "wearing" D&G so much as it is "being worn by a D&G."
Keke Palmer in custom Robert Wun
Oooh, dang. I love the workmanship on that top, but I hate the skirt with the hot fire of my oven on Thanksgiving. It looks cheap and unworthy of what they did with the top, which, admittedly, I don't know totally works on its own, but imagine if the dress kept going in that vein and color and fabric and we'd be somewhere intriguing at the very least.
Jessica Chastain in Zuhair Murad
So romantic and dreamy.
Greta Gerwig in Carolina Herrera
She looks very happy and pretty, and while I am not formally speculating ANYTHING, this is absolutely the TYPE of thing you would wear if you... had some news... but were not a Big Announcement person and didn't feel like addressing anything directly and thought you MIGHT skate by.
Euzhan Palcy
She received a lifetime achievement award, as the first Black director to win a Cesar Award AND the first Black female director to get a film produced by one of the major studios. She's amazing and I love that she just positively drizzled herself in gems.
Michelle Yeoh in Bottega Veneta
The texture of this skirt got a little lost under these lights, but it's really gorgeous.
Kathryn Hahn in Lanvin
This is great. The necklace is a perfect crowning touch -- it gives just enough interest.
Margot Robbie in Bottega Veneta
This is ALSO the third outing in a row in which Margot has not worn Chanel, so hopefully SHE is free as well. I love this sexy, vaguely Grecian feel.
Marlee Matlin in Elie Saab
This seems in keeping with what she wore on last year's circuit. Love the green; am less enchanted by the beige parts, but what can you do.
The Family Fox
Michael J., Tracy Pollan, and their kids were all in attendance because he got an award. Everyone looks lovely. His son has a REAL Adult Marty McFly vibe -- I know that MJF himself is the adult Marty, but you feel me; George McFly sometimes wore glasses -- and I particularly love the dresses on the right.
Jean Smart
Ooh, yes, Jean. Love the swirl.
Li Jun Li in Prada
This seems dark green, right? I'm not just tricked by the accessories? It's very good from Prada.
Monica Barbaro in Jason Wu
Very elegant!
Paul Mescal and Charlotte Wells
Paul is in Charlotte's well-regarded movie "Aftersun," and I put them in here -- despite them being generally black outfits -- because her shirt is so vibrant and great.
Ruth E. Carter
And then Ruth came in with some dramatic animal print.
Rita Wilson
I also thought this was black, until I looked at it at night (I get the worst glare on my screen during the day) and it's actually a multicolored sequined situation. I think... I would like this better if she'd done her hair? The cut of this is a bit schlumpy AND the hair is a bit schlumpy. Together it's Super Schlump.
Jennifer Lawrence in Dior
This Dior fits her vibe very well. Finally, it's clicking.
Brian Tyree Henry
And I know HE is in a black suit, but the two of them looked very happy to be hanging out together and his grin was delicious in these pics so here we are.
Stephanie Hsu
This miiiight have needed to lose the bow, and possibly the sleeve. It's heavy for an already heavy-looking fabric.
Hong Chau
This actually reads like a toned-down version of the previous dress, and it's really chic.
13th Governors Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, California, USA - 19 Nov 2022
I decided this is a dusky pale pink situation rather than beige? I think I'm right? Anyway, he looks great. I was at Elton John last night and he played images from Rocketman during one of the songs (not that song) and it reminded me how criminally overlooked he was for that performance.
