I saw on Twitter that she said she wanted to show up for this event dressed like a sword, and she nailed it. This is pretty, obviously, but still has that slight edge that she tends to favor. (And is in a VERY Armani-y fabric.)

Natalie Portman in Celine

I NEVER thought Natalie would return to her Black Swan hairstyling and eyeliner, but I'm not mad at it --- she looks great in this iteration. It's also fun to see her in a spangly little kicky cocktail dress, because it's a bit outside her usual go-to.

Karen Gillan

"Damn it, I did NOT think Natalie was ALSO going to wear a short little cocktail dress." (Having said that: This is cute. If Summer 2022 swings back to Kicky Cocktail Frocks at these things instead of gowns, that will be a fun switcheroo.)

Chris Pratt

AT LAST FASHION GOD CHRIS PRATT HATH LANDED!!!! He looks fine. I don't know why he often stands like he cannot touch his arms to his sides or he will be smited -- smote? -- but life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone.

Christian Bale and Sibi Blazic

(a) They always look like this, and (b) this is how I learned Bale is in this movie. I assume as Batman? (I'M KIDDING PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME ABOUT THAT.)

Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth

Hems, as ever, looks sexy and sunkissed and relaxed and like a man who'd happily open a bunch of jars for you. Elsa is a babe and is definitely wearing a dress made for a women six inches taller.

Xochitl Gomez

This is kicky and slightly Futuristic Alien -- in a good way -- which is apt for this movie. (I know they're not aliens exactly. I guess they are in that they're not from this planet? I skipped a LOT of Marvel movies, you guys, I'm just honestly making shit up right now. You could be like, "Captain America is the President in this universe now and ScarJo is the Secretary of the Interior!" and I'd be like, "that seems true.")

Kat Dennings and Andrew W.K.

Kat Dennings is dating Andrew W.K.????? This event IS educational!

Jaimie Alexander in Marc Jacobs

And then Jaimie Alexander arrived in a resplendent Marc Jacobs which is also definitely an upscale slanket.
