Saoirse Ronan in Erdem

I love Saoirse, but also this is literally a bedspread. TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE.

Saoirse Ronan in Erdem

I actually do want my entire boudoir covered in this fabric -- my bed, my walls, the windows, my face -- but as a dress goes, it feels like A LOT. (Better at the Critics Choice Award than at the Globes, I suppose.)

Cynthia Erivo in Fendi

This is RAD on her. I've complained a LOT about Fendi's clothing -- in general, it has tended to feel like outfits designed by people who only know purses, and also they were responsible for GOOP's Globes Monstrosity -- but this is VERY cool on her.

Betty Gilpin in Oscar de la Renta

It's hard to tell in this snap, but her dress is ombre, and gets orange at the bottom of the hem. It's LOVELY. It also made me decide that ombre is a pattern.

Rachel Brosnahan in Carolina Herrera

This is very charming on her -- is orange back? I LOVE orange! -- but I DO think she could have used a coral lip.

Rita Moreno

I think we'd all be better off if Rita Moreno were our grandmother, all full of joie de vivre and big earrings and opinions. I love her. 

Lauren Ash in Melissa Mercedes

This has a real Elie Saab vibe -- it looks nice on her.

Jean Smart

"I just rewore the outfit I wore to the PTA holiday party. Is this on TV?"

AJ Michalka in Elisabetta Franchi

It took until now for me to look up why the Sisters Michalka are attending all these things. I am still not sure?! (They both work a lot but I don't know why they're suddenly on the promo tour.) Regardless: The dress is fab on her, and also would make amazing fabric for a very chic patio set.

Billy Porter

Billy made it into this post because of his butterflies -- with the caveat that I thought they were embroider on illusion netting and not temporary tattoos. Details! This is very pretty, but maybe feels a little prom? (One of these days, Billy is going to blow all our minds by just showing up in a totally boring classic suit.)

Jenny Slate in Mulberry

This is GREAT on her and also a HUGE IMPROVEMENT over the runway version.

D'Arcy Carden in Tadashi Shoji

This is one of those dresses that sits very low on the wearer, and I always want to hoik them up a bit, even if they're where they're meant to be. Leaving that very nitty nitpick aside, D'Arcy looks -- as usual -- pretty dang great here.

Noah Jupe

He was nominated in for his part in Honey Boy and he looks VERY jaunty in this! 

Ava DuVernay in Michael Cinco

She always looks great.

Molly Sims in Teresa Helbig

"If I dress like Marmee, maybe people will think I'm Laura Dern!"

Charlize Theron in custom Celine

This is fairly dishy -- and also I get the vibe that Charlize is in agony growing out her bowl cut.

Asante Blackk in Prada

He is always a very well-dressed young man. 

Jessie Mueller

This could have gone INSANE on us, but for the brave acts of this lining!

Nicole Kidman in Armani

Kidman is so far two-for-two in Armani at major awards show in 2020. Let's see if she makes it a trend.

Audra McDonald

This fabric is very cool.

Christine Baranski in Antonia Berardi

Very festive1 (I feel like a lot of women are dragging out the things they didn't get to sport over the holidays.)

Chrissy Metz in custom 11 Honoré

This is custom, and it's fetching on her!

Karen Fukuhara in Vitor Zerbinato

This is a zippy take on a loincloth dress, a sentence I truly never thought I'd type.

Molly Shannon

This feels very Movie Premiere in July to me.

Maya Erskine in Miu Miu

Very twee, and very girllish, but also very cute, no?

Kate Beckinsale in Julian Mcdonald

This is gorgeous on her -- she is always perfectly tailored -- and I DO NOT KNOW WHY SHE'S THERE. Kate Beckinsale is a very cheeky, amusing person, and she's a good actor! She does not need to trot out to everything! (I guess maybe she likes reminding everyone that she looks great. I would want to take a nap.)

Mj Rodriguez

This is very pretty, and we are clearly heading back in to the world of the no-lipstick-lipstick and I don't know if I can take that in an election year.

Annabelle Wallis in Moschino

This is a great dress.

Allegra Riggio, Jared Harris

But more than anything, we need to discuss that 2020 has brought us Jared Harris: SUIT DISH.

Saoirse Ronan Led the Many Patterns of the 2020 Critics Choice Awards

But truly, this was a ride piloted by many a celeb.
