## Michaela Coel in Maximilian

She has such an elegant vibe in general, and this is SUCH a good look on her. It's so chic and slightly austere, but not at all boring. I love it.

And the back is SO different and cool; so often, when designers Try Stuff, it just feels like they're trying to reinvent the wheel for no reason. This feels sincerely unusual while still being actually beautiful.

## Jodie Comer in Gabriela Hearst

This is just VERY relaxed and cool, and it's an interesting departure from how she often dresses on the red carpet, which is occasionally a little bit like Here's My Fashion Wine Bag! Which I'm sure is fun (and comfy), but it's cool to see her in something so pared back.

## Billie Piper in Moschino

This suffers in comparison to Jodie's very relaxed, chic look, but also this is just...too much. I understand the instinct to go FULL 80s, but I wish they'd sort of dialed down the styling if she was going to wear this dress, because I think the complete effect overwhelms her a bit. I actually suspect the dress itself is tough to pull off without looking like you're wearing two dresses from Princess Diana's closet mashed together in general, but I wonder if a simpler hair situation would have helped.

## Cush Jumbo in Michael Kors

I mean! This is pretty unimpeachable.

Also a real classic.

I love this dress, and also think she needed slightly larger earrings. (I do like how sparse it is, but it needs a LITTLE bit more bling.) (I am REAL EXCITED to be able to air these dumb and ultimately unimportant nitpicks again!!)

## Ncuti Gatwa in JW Anderson

THIS IS GOOD.

This is glam and I love her shoe choice: Sequins AND metallic shoes? BRING ON SHINY SUMMER.

## Nicola Coughlan in Valentino

Although I earlier noted that this might be a summer of twirly skirts, this skirt is actually wired so as to ALWAYS look mid-twirl; I love that she's paired it with the pink shoes.

## Tobias Menzies

"HELLO! Just popping out to remind you that I look dashing in a double-breasted suit. BYE!"

## Jessica Plummer in Isabel Marant

Now THIS is a party dress, and I'll be surprised if we don't see it again this summer. It's just fun.

## Sophie Okonedo in Bottega Veneta

This dress is very cool, and I love that her team went with green shoes; I might argue that the shoe's fishnet material is a little WEIRD? Again: I feel joyous about having a nitpick like "are your shoes a weird material wrt your toes???" to air!

## Vick Hope in Versace

This is, obviously, absolutely great.

This is REALLY GOOD.

This is also great. And I just realized that it IS in fact patterned and thus he is in the wrong post but we're here now and let's just celebrate THAT.

## Lydia West in Loewe

I also love the cream puff-like quality of these sleeves!

## Rakie Ayola

This is so delicate and lovely and the shoes are perfect! I feel like folks are emerging into the world in interesting shoes and I am here for it. (I, however, am emerging into the world in Birkenstocks because I feel like my feet grew over the last year.)

## AJ Odudu in Tran Hung

This is INCREDIBLY fun, and on her Instagram, she called it "a big red ball of fluff," which is also true.
