Queer Premiere

Drew Starkey and Daniel Craig

Daniel looks like he's laughing at Drew showing him how a white shirt can be done. As in, with pants that don't have a visible stain on them, DANIEL, you goof.

This is quite a collage. It's funky and I think it works on her. I had NOT pegged her as a Loewe acolyte, also, so this is fun.

Jason Schwartzman

I'm not ready for Halloween YET, sir.

Side note: It's not as obvious here but somehow he's looking like Adam Levine to me? We'll get to him again later.

Omar Apollo

He's pulling off the loose fit very well. He doesn't look lost in it; just relaxed.

Luca Guadagnino

Sure. He's too busy making clear that he's not Yorgos Lanthimos to worry about clothes.

Rachel Weisz in Versace

This is not one of Donatella's most creative efforts, but she looks gorgeous. I mean. Rachel Weisz is a dream.

Somehow, he looks like a cross between Gary Oldman and Chris Pine.

Dance, you beautiful land mermaids.

This manages to look fluid and perfectly drapey, rather than lumpy. She's done ideal makeup for wearing khaki; the whole thing is super. Let's call it CHIC because Daniel Day Lewis in "The Phantom Thread" would hate that.

Jason Schwartzman

I don't know why, but: Adam Levine.

We saw a longer silver version of this deployed by Emma Laird. Loewe is really hot for chain mail right now, apparently.

Pedro Almodovar, SWINTON in Alaia

Everything here is perfect. Her lips match his shirt. His hair matches her dress. Her shoes and his coat don't match anything but they're both good colors. I don't know -- something about this feels so ideally balanced.
