My Queen Christine Baranski looks great, and I do not know who her companion is -- she has two daughters, so it is not her son -- but he is handsome, so good for her.

One of my fave things about this event is that it's almost always humid in New York at this time of year and everyone who shows up looks like they're about to heave a giant sigh and say, "well, I MADE it."

This is fabulously girlish on her. There is something great to me about a woman we've all seen play some real tough ladies just leaning into the girly every now and then. It's like her own intrinsic broad self undercuts the twee aspect.

This is one of those dresses wherein the wearer both looks prim and ladylike AND you can tell that Body Be Bangin.

HAND SOMEONE YOUR COAT, BLYTHE. That dress looks great and I need a better look!

This is the coat section of the evening. WHY ARE YOU HIDING YOUR GOWN FROM ME, RACHEL? You know I love you! 

Padma Lakshmi in Yanina Couture

I LOVE the top of this, but wish the skirt were lined (as usual). Unrelated: Padma published a very moving op-ed in the New York Times yesterday about having been raped when she was a teenager, and the effect it had on her life. It was very brave of her to speak openly about this and I hope her story helps other people feel less alone.

...awkward tone change back to outfits. This is good on her, even though it's a lot of sleeve AND a lot of strap.

I've been staring at this for 20 minutes and I just thought, "I wish Meghan Markle would wear this." I hope putting that out in the universe works! 

Many Ladies Wore Gowns to the Metropolitan Opera Opening on Monday!
