2014: Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren
Lupita was not the first to wear a perfect cape to an award ceremony, but wow, she left no less of an indelible mark. Many tried after this, but it always felt borrowed.
2015: Allison Williams in Armani
Love.
2013: Jennifer Garner in Vivienne Westwood
This is so gorgeous. She wore this during Ben's Argo season, before she (presumably) told him to Argo F*ck Himself.
2017: Brie Larson in Rodarte
This was great, but doubly so because it's RODARTE, which astonished me. I'd have sworn Versace.
2015: Taylor Schilling in Ralph Lauren
I wasn't sold on the head-styling, but this was noteworthy for being a huge improvement for her.
2016: Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors
I love this INTENSELY.
2016: Amy Adams in Versace
This just really GOT me, for some reason: the color, the cascade of sparkles, how happy she seems, THE HAIR.
2017: Caitriona Balfe in Delpozo
It just never gets old. This is so unusual and lovely and cool.
2016: Julianne Moore in Tom Ford
Dreamy. I think this was the year after she won for Still Alice, and she came back STRONG.
2016: Jenna Dewan in Zuhair Murad
Also dreamy.
2015: Felicity Jones in Dior
In the intervening years, I think we've all forgotten that she can pick stuff that's a great color, and INTERESTING, and fits properly. I dream in that hue.
2016: Jaimie Alexander in Genny
This was controversial because of the plunge, but I still maintain she wrangled it perfectly, and that it's stunning.
2015: Leslie Mann in Kaufmanfranco
Perfect.
2017: Viola Davis in Michael Kors
She could, honestly, be in this slideshow for everything she wears, but I'm going with her big win.
2013: Odette Annable in Rachel Roy
This is so unusual -- I love the color combination.
2015: Lupita Nyong'o in Giambattista Valli
She's so good at changing it up, and bringing joy to everything she wears.
2015: Anna Kendrick in Monique Lhuillier
Elegant and wonderful.
2013: Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera
This was considered pretty ballsy at the time, and I am THRILLED she wore it. The floral is absolutely great.
2014: Caitlin FitzGerald in Emilia Wickstead
This is gorgeous, and the shoes are the PERFECT finish.
2014: Tina and Amy
I wish they were hosting this year. They, however, are probably relieved it's a minefield they're not traversing.
2013: Lena Dunham
This looked better on TV, but it's still pretty damn good -- the most sophisticated she's looked.
2015: Uzo Aduba in Randi Rahm
GORGEOUS. So gorgeous.
2016: Portia Doubleday in Naeem Khan
I like this as much as I dislike Mr. Robot.
2015: Julianne Moore in Givenchy
One of my favorite things she's EVER worn. Made doubly good by what a bummer her Oscars Chanel was.
2017 Regina King in Romona Keveza
One of my favorite designers for clean, cool glamour. Regina King looks amazing.
2015: Diane Kruger in Emilia Wickstead
This is also very elegant on her.
2015: Ellie Kemper in Naeem Khan
So fun, and perfect lippy.
2017: Issa Rae in Christian Siriano
We've seen this recently also, but I will never get sick of it.
2013: Anne Hathaway in Chanel
This is nice. Remember the HathaHair, also? I thikn this phase of it is the one I liked best.
2017: Evan Rachel Wood in Altuzarra
She is so slick.
2013: Intern George and Stacy Keibler (Armani)
Hey, remember when THIS was happening? I have to say, she looks pretty stellar in that dress -- all the horizontal lines would be hard for a lot of people to pull off, but she looks hourglassy in it.
2014: Lizzy Caplan in Emilio Pucci
I miss her. She always wore SUCH interesting stuff.
2013: Margot Robbie in Gucci
Ah, Gucci. It was such a simpler time then. See you on Sunday, Margot.
