This is not the depth of hue I would associate with Imperial Yellow -- that would be Rihanna's dress -- but I know yellow in general is significant in the Chinese culture, so I'm going to work off the assumption that the color choice here was the nod

The juxtaposition of the two gowns in this picture amuses me. In the back, Allison Williams's flotilla of tulle, large and attempting to be in charge, hoping that size would win style points; in the front, Elizabeth Banks's very simple turquoise shift, which seems to say,
