Lupita Nyong'o in Thebe Magugu
I just love this. The detail on the cuffs and hem is so pretty. And thanks to the light in this photo, I can trick myself into believing that the shoes, which I know are see-through plastic, are just... iridescent material.
She also had a great coat with it, and it's important to celebrate good outerwear as we head into the season wherein we all impulse-purchase some.

I am substantially less thrilled by this, though her lipstick is good. The shades give me Rihanna vibes. And the shoes are by Betsey Johnson, a brand I did not know was still active. Overall though, does this not feel somewhat haphazardly put together? I don't think the accessories make sense together with the dress.
I was concerned about that being a catsuit, and indeed it is. A VIctoria's Secret catsuit, to be precise, with a sleeveless blazer over it. (No credit on the coat.) I thought we'd left VS in the past? Interestingly, as a side note, her stylist Micaela Erlanger has been crediting both her styling assistants AND a tailor on all of these, which is cool. (I assume she has an assistant of her own who's in charge of all that, and it's very smart Team Player stuff, and also something her styling assistants will remember fondly when this exposure helps them go out on their own.)

I am not sure I would have wanted credit for the tailoring on the pants? It still looks wrong to me. This is nice, though -- businesslike with a hint of sparkle. It was for Chadwick's foundation, so like FULL Gucci glam (or whathaveyou) would have been overkill.
