This is very flattering and pleasingly simple on her; she, along with Tracee Ellis Ross, Lena Waithe, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Angela Robinson and Laverne Cox had a moment about #TimesUp during the ceremony. They did not all wear black, but I suspect that is why Kerry did.

I'm VERY glad [she's not wearing the bonnet.](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd%5Fe-1blZbJ/?taken-by=checkthetag&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

This might have been more effective for me without the sheer bits on the sides. She looks stunning, though.

## Adrienne Bailon

And this is truly possibly the best she's ever looked.

## Samira Wiley in Romona Keveza

Dishy, as ever. Would we have added a pop of a contrasting color, if possible? DISCUSS.

## Mandy Moore

This is sweet -- like High Fashion Wendy, from Peter Pan.

## Tracee Ellis Ross in Narciso Rodriguez

She won outstanding actress in a comedy series, and this is extremely glam.

## Jussie Smollett and Jurnee Smollett Bell in Christos Costarellos

Sure! They both look as if they're a likeable brother/sister pair that's come to Westworld for a few days and will have TERRIBLE things happen to them, which will teach them about the world, and which will involve each of them accidentally falling in love with a robot.

## Bianca Lawson in Needle & Thread

I apologize for her thousand-yard stare here; maybe she's thinking about how sad the Smolletts story arc will be on Westworld? I'm mostly thinking about how is TRULY is a vampire who does not age. (Her Wikipedia says she's 38, but I actually think that's shaved a few years off. Not that it matters. She looks eternally 24\. If they were to reboot *Buffy*, and she could somehow reappear as Kendra, I feel like they would have to make her an actual vampire in order for it to be believable. Also, now I think they should do that.)
