Vanity Fair Oscar Party: Who Fabbed It More, Amy Poehler or Patricia Clarkson
These two both killed it this year, in similar enough patterns that I've decided to be heinously cruel about it and make you choose. Let's start with Patricia Clarkson: This is so good. SO good. The pattern is fabulous. It's a combination of gleaming

Why are there TWO dresses at this party with thigh details? By which I mean, the thigh IS the detail: That might have been so pretty if it weren't suffering continental drift. [Photo: Getty]

Oh, Hudge. She is so cute, but that thing looks like an infomercial wherein they throw all manner of things at a ball gown and are about to prove it can wipe clean with a sponge. This is for all you Carrie Diaries fans out there: One of TV'
Read moreVanity Fair Oscar Party Fug Carpet: Rashida Jones in Valentino
Her head looks as good as it ever has, but the rest of it is too strong for her. I wish it were a better-fitted minidress, or something. This is a pretty youthful print being turned into a dated-looking dress. I feel like she's about to

I think Meryl may take this one. She looked classy, lovely, and like she had a blast. I think that might be because she knew there was no chance she'd win. I had been trying to explain her performance in August: Osage County to Jessica, but the clips

The puzzle theme here made me unaccountably happy. I just love a jigsaw -- this kind, not the kind people use to build things, or torture people in horrible movies, although one of those is probably fun too as long as it's not being used unkindly. Be pleasant with

This feels like a do-over of her 2012 Golden Globes dress: An AMAZING and successful do-over, a do-over that she could easily repeat from here until they stop televising awards shows, and we'd all be like, "she's worn that six years in
Read moreOscars Well Played: June Squibb in Tadashi Shoji
My favorite running gag from the red carpet is the notion -- started and perpetuated by him, in front of her -- that Jared Leto and June Squibb are secretly dating. She was really playful about it, all, "Well IF YOU SAY SO, I'll just HAVE TO GO WITH

One of the many things I like about Elizabeth Banks is that she is NEVER boring. Even if I don't like what she's wearing, she never shies from color and pattern and she's ALWAYS interesting. I applaud that. And she LOVES wearing a feathered

There was a rumor going around in September that Tom Cruise and Jessica White were dating, and I think I speak for us all when I say PLEASE XENU LET THAT BE TRUE because LOOK: If she plays her cards right, she could be initiated very quickly as some kind

This may surprise you, but I actually kind of love this: I'm not totally on board with the gym hair, but at the same time, I get it: this dress is a whole lot going on, so you don't want your hair to look Too Done.
