Danielle Brooks in Siriano

When I saw her on E!, I ONLY saw her from the waist up and the right side and thought she was wearing a super simple black tank dress APPARENTLY NOT. This is a lot and I suspect Christian needed to pick a lane here, ultimately. Her entire head looks amazing, though.

Audra McDonald, Denée Benton, and Louisa Jacobson

I just thought you might want to see some Gilded Agers hanging out.

Audra McDonald

I would allow this woman to cast whatever spell she felt necessary!

Denée Benton

This fabric is very cool; it almost has a denim vibe?

Louisa Jacobson in Louis Vuitton

It cracks me up how INTENTLY Louisa Jacobson leans into NOT MARIAN BROOK during her non-Gilded Age events. This IS cool, however. She looks like she could slide into the Dune premiere.

Rebecca Hall in Gabriela Hearst, Morgan Spector

She looks fab; I think Morgan Spector's pants have an elastic waist and his whole vibe is like...hot ceramics instructor here. I'm into it.

Taissa Farmiga

This is simple but GREAT.

Karen Pittman in Richard Quinn

ALSO great, if slightly less simple. So classic! And her jewels!

Blitz Bazawule

He ALWAYS looks so good at these things, and this is no different.

Arian Moayed in Armani

I DID NOT EXPECT THIS.

Kat Graham

Kat Graham -- who I love! -- was perhaps the first person on this carpet, in this very fun dress. This is the official Olivia Wilde Spot, so named because she used to show up EARLY for stuff to make sure there were loads of pics of her on the wires the next day (and perhaps because she's very punctual). Anyway: Olivia Wilde is now a very successful director so I hope it's also good luck for Kat!

Tantoo Cardinal

Everyone in the Drinks With Broads chat agreed that Tantoo Cardinal is perhaps one of the coolest people alive.

Uzo Aduba

I LOVE her and she just had a baby, I believe. This feels a LITTLE bit like the CFO of your big company at the formal dinner at your annual retreat?

Tracee Ellis Ross in custom Balmain

She may be attending the same event. Everyone WILL come up and tell her, truthfully, that she looks great, though!

Kola Bokinni in Greyscale

Handsome!

Paul Giamatti

Handsome!

Brett Goldstein in Boss

Handsome!

Ed McVey in Dior

A salute to the very wide-legged man suit and lapel pin combo!

Josh Hartnett

I somehow could not get a photo of his trousers but I assume you they were normal. He looks handsome! I'm happy about this Hartnettaissance. He was good in Oppenheimer; I realized I missed him.

Cillian Murphy in YSL

This tie is a jaunty situation.

Dominic Sessa

Reasonable!

Michael Irby

This is tremendously dapper! (This is also where I rant that I hated the final season of Barry and I think it veering SO SO DARK hurt its award chances because it got unpleasant to watch.)

Quinta Brunson in Saint Laurent

She looks very good in this and I think the real star are the JEWELS here.

Sheryl Lee Ralph in Waad Aloqaili

Also, dishy as usual.

Lisa Ann Walter

I sort of think her character on Abbott Elementary would ALSO maybe wear this?

Naomi Watts in Dior

This is very dreamy -- sheers and all.

Matt Bomer in Boss

Reliably dreamy. Will Matt Bomer show up one day wearing something INSANE, just to see if we're all like "ooh dreamy" when he's in, like, plastic wrestling pants that people wear to make weight and a ripped tee shirt?

Nicholas Braun

Everything appears to be in order here.

Jessica Chastain in custom Armani

She looks very nice in this, although I feel like surely you could get this dress without resorting to a custom experience.

Edyta Budnik

This is memorable! (She played Nate's girlfriend on Ted Lasso. I DO think her head is so pretty that it's drawing focus.)

Stephen Root

I did not expect this and I am DELIGHTED.

JaNae Collins

I feel like she needs some very large and cool 1970s jewelry here, right?

The cast of Breaking Bad

Congrats, all these people look fine!

Laverne Cox in vintage McQueen and Dior

Our tour through Laverne's own archives continues! This is mostly McQueen, but the collar is Dior, circa the Galliano years. This is not my fave of her looks so far but it IS interesting and I love seeing all her STUFF.

Alex Borstein in Alex Borstein

Alex designed this herself and it DOES seem to have some similarities to her Emmys dress; I think this is more successful? (She said she hates shopping for formal looks and has problems finding things that fit her; she is really petite. I feel like this is where Christian Siriano swoops in, but I also think she could look into Tadashi Shoji and be pleased by her options, if she tires of DIY.) I need to formally note that I think her face looks FANTASTIC; her hair and makeup teams nailed this.

Alexandra Hedison and Jodie Foster (in Gucci)

They both look DISHY and Jodie has found the most Armani-y Gucci available.

Taraji P. Henson in Giambattista Valli

Please don't think my putting this toward the end here is an insult. She looks GREAT in this.

Leighton Meester (in custom St. John) and Adam Brody

I believe Leighton's dress MIGHT be a chocolate brown, but we are here now. It's delightful to see them together. They both look nice and maybe a TAD underbaked, styling-wise? (I honestly think she maybe just needed slightly bigger earrings?)

Idris Elba in Gucci and Isan Elba in vintage Mugler

What a very attractive finish!

The Black Outfits at the SAGs Were Not Particularly Basic

And included A LOT of the cast of The Gilded Age.
