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.

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.

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!!)

THIS IS GOOD.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.)

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