Marsai Martin in Nina Ricci

I can't decide if this technically fits. I don't think it does. I do love that she's expressing herself via a mini-mogul aesthetic, and the hat makes me laugh. It's like if Dark Helmet from Spaceballs developed a fashion line.

Kirby Howell-Baptiste in Dior

Hooray, I'm so glad she's in this movie -- I think she's one of the few co-stars who actually did show up? (If you don't recognize her as a blond, Kirby is in The Good Place, and Barry.) Her dress is really pretty and I hope someone was in the background giving her wild hand signals to straighten her necklaces.

I like it a bit less up close, though. It's a classic Cher Horowitz Monet -- once you're up close, you can see too much.

Law Roach in GmbH

I can't decide if it's funny, or twisted, that he showed up in a (faux) fur coat to a movie about a woman who wanted to kill puppies to MAKE a fur coat. (This is where I got the idea that it's faux.)

Mark St. Cyr

He's from HSM:TM-TS, and my goodness, he's cute. I wish he'd changed up a color or a pattern in here just for some variety.

Tiana Le (Big Shot)

I like her boots. I don't LOVE that this whole outfit looks like she just hooked up with the person who ran her safari tour.

Cricket Wampler (Big Shot)

Are they making Hefty Bags out of leather these days? (Her mismatched shoes are a choice, also. Why not just wear BOTH pairs of the cute ones?)

Larry Saperstein (HSM:TM-TS)

Oh, Larry, way to suck up to your employer here with the Dalmatian-print shirt. Bravo.

Tyler Joseph Ellis

This is kind of... photonegative sucking up. (He does NOT seem to be a Disney employee, but maybe he wants to be.)

Dara Reneé (Big Shot)

Oooh, that's really pretty.

Alan Kim

This international treasure also attended.

They had a couple costumes on display, too. If this one isn't part of a massive "Cool Rider" homage, then I just do not think I can participate in this film.

The Rest of the Cruella Premiere Was Chock Full O' Disney

It makes sense that Disney, for its first major red carpet since Mulan right before Covid lockdowns began, would use this one to trot out a lot of its local actors -- especially if the big names like Emma Thompson and Mark Strong couldn't make it for this. So in addition to Marsai Martin (Disney = ABC, which airs black-ish), we got some stars of Big Shot and High School Musical: The Musical -- The Series, the punctuation of which I did absolutely have to Google. You may not know who many of them are, but you DO know that Marsai here is wearing a giant hat, so that's enough reason to click, right? Come for that, stay for what Law Roach chose to do.
