Anna Sawai in Vera Wang
She is so beautiful. I think... this design is not my personal favorite, but a) it fits perfectly, and b) Vera Wang gowns have been such messy disasters more often than not, that I'm DELIGHTED this one is at least crisp and properly celebrates the wearer.
Nava Mau in Gigi Goode
Nava is the first trans actress to be nominated in the supporting category for a limited series, and it's perfect that she wore something designed by onetime Drag Race runner-up Gigi Goode. She looked fabulous on both the carpet AND the telecast.
Janelle James in Marchesa
I want to like this as much as I like her, but it just seems sort of heavy and cumbersome. I always think of Marchesa as making volume look delicate and light, and this is not that.
Aaron Moten in Kenzo
He is apparently in Fallout, another hole in my knowledge. But I know him now. This is VERY cool.
Gillian Jacobs in Roland Mouret
Does this need... a necklace? Or a better fit in the bodice in a couple places? Something about it isn't quite singing for me. I might wish it were pants?
Sofia Vergara in D&G
This is very much in her usual wheelhouse. It fits, it's sexy and booby, it's a good color.
D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai
I was REALLY rooting for him to win for Reservation Dogs. We put him in here because the red handprint is really the statement this outfit is making...
... and it is a symbol of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women group.
Bowen Yang in Bode
We decided the red shirt was the statement here, too. It's very fun and he is a treasure. Maya, Seth, Kristen, and Bowen on-stage as a foursome was an experience I would like to have again please.
Dulcé Sloan
She's a Daily Show correspondent; they had a good night. I love the two patterns involved in this ensemble but might wish they each had their own outfit, to really show them off.
Jessica Betts and Niecy Nash Betts
The couple that reds together looks hot together.
Sarah Podemski in Lesley Hampton
She's on Reservation Dogs, and the designer she's wearing is a Canadian First Nations artisan (Temagami First Nation, with Anishinaabe, Mohawk and Scottish ancestry). I LOVE it.
Ayo Edebiri in Bottega Veneta
This is one of my favorites of the night. I was expecting Thom Browne or Loewe, and am doubly thrilled. This is stellar, and feels so different even though the silhouette is not groundbreaking. It didn't need to be, with the right material and cut.
Juno Temple in vintage Roberto Cavalli
Hooray for her curls. Also, the first time I saw a version of this dress, it was on Yoanna at the ANTM cycle 2 finale party. Not quite the same but both Cavalli, unless Yoanna's was a knockoff. I feel like Keeley Jones would appreciate this.
Martin Sheen, Dule Hill, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff and Allison Janney
We'll see some of them later, but: JANNEY!!!! That is the text I sent Jess when she came on-stage in this Gaurav Gupta. No question who owns THIS moment, and indeed, she took center stage when announcing the winner. She's going to be on The Diplomat next season -- which is in like a month! -- and I could not be more excited.
