That's unusual and elegant and feels like a pencil sketch come to life on the fabric. I don't think it needed the gloves at all.

Literally every time I see her, I think how gorgeous she is, and how effectively they downplay that when she's in costume as Penelope Featherington (at least, I assume it was on purpose). But I don't like this particular floral much at all. For a hot second I thought they were turtles. The whole thing is just a tad dowdy.

We already talked about Eddie, but Hannah -- usually one of the best dressed celebrity spouses -- went noteworthily sheer (for her) and he almost looks like he's trying to reassure her about it. I really like the actual dress, but linings are your friends! Imagine it without the underboob!

This is quite lovely! I wish they'd just made it strapless, maybe? But the print is fab.

I love to see the writers represent. No injury can keep her from deploying the perfect lipstick (and a great frock, too).

This is at the length where I think it should go up or down versus staying where it is, but hooray for a hit of chartreuse.

Lesley is a former Olympic triathlete who, oh, just casually bought the rights to All Quiet on the Western Front, adapted it (in English; the director translated it all into German) and won a BAFTA for it. How COOL is that story? This is a super fun gown and I'm thrilled that she got to get a trophy in it.

This is objectively not something I tend to like, but something about the geometric theme really appeals to me? it looks niftier and crisper and more considered than a lot of these sheer-overlay dresses do.
