Tiffany Haddish in Brandon Maxwell

I love that she looks like a human highlighter, because she was indeed a highlight of the night.

with Gal

Also, she had a DAMN fine time.

with Frances McD

This photo is everything. I hope she hangs it up in her house. EITHER "she," actually. BOTH OF THEM.

Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton

She had a tough night. This was made for her, and it looks too small and overwhelmingly childish. I hope the money they paid her is all funding things that make her truly, riotously happy, because it is not resulting in any red carpet joy.

Greta Gerwig in Dior

That's pretty, but I feel like someone needed to starch-spray the bodice or something so that the various petals stood up a bit better. Also, it might need... a very very thin belt or ribbon at the waist seam, maybe? I can't decide if that would bust up the flow or not.

with her pals in Dusen Dusen

Apparently these are Greta's five best friends from college, and they decided to show up in something identical so that they'd look like her Oscar bridesmaids. I find that really sweet.

Mary J. Blige in Vera Wang

That's not so wildly different that I understand the need to change. I like the idea just fine, but the overlay looks a bit constricting at the neck. The detail at the bottom also makes me think of an accent stripe in a bathroom shower stall, but that's probably because I had to totally gut and redo my bathroom and so I've recently spent a lot of time in tile stores.

Betty Gabriel in Pamella Roland

Well, the theme of Betty's night was Cleavage. I feel like both dresses were nice, but both would've been better if they'd just RELAXED a little and not tried quite so exhaustingly hard. Like, this could still be sexy without being cut so low and letting quite so much hang out. Or, if it simply insisted upon that, then I'd have had the neckline go up toward her shoulders, because this way it looks like it slipped down and she's trying to tense her body to keep it in place. 

Zoey Deutch in Dior

There's nothing really WRONG with this but her Oscars look was so much better. 

Lupita in Armani

This cut always makes the pelvic part of the dress look really heavy. I understand wanting to wear a bunch of different designer clothes, in theory, but her Versace was marvelous and this is a downgrade.

Paz Vega

This is so heavy and shapeless. At least her other outfit was architectural.

Molly Sims in Zuhair Murad

Molly is another one who did not need to change, and certainly not into what looks like a weatherproof poncho.

Abbie Cornish in Christian Siriano

I love this. I don't get why she didn't wear it all night. Another filmy sparkly beige dress won't get the attention that something like this will, for one thing, and high impact is the name of that game.

Emily Blunt in McQueen

That's pretty. If it were a white backing, she should've worn it to the Oscars. It would've looked more gold/coppery, whereas it reads brown here, in a way that's harshing its buzz for me. Also I can see a lot of what the lining is doing.

Lindsey Vonn in Celia Kritharioti

She changed out of her Fancy Madam look and into Liesl Von Trapp's Honeymoon trousseau. It's not good. It also seems totally at odds with her.

Zendaya in Michael Kors

As usual, she looks cool in this, but I don't think she needed the tulle.

Margot Robbie in Chanel

What is going ON with her? Suddenly her hair looks a little wet, and in every picture we had, she was standing in this vintage Paris Hilton pose where it's half-preening, half-yoga. I get why she changed out of a white dress -- that will be a magnet for stains -- but this is a decidedly non-dreamy alternative.

Mira Sorvino

This is very dowdy. Also, if you're taking off a dress with a big train that will get trampled, why are you putting ON a dress that STILL has a train that will ALSO get trampled?

Saoirse in CK

Okay, Saoirse didn't technically change, though she ALTERED this by ditching the train. Girl, the train was not the problem.

Andra Day

This is kooky, but I like it so much better than her red carpet disaster. It's stylishly weird, at least.

Haley Bennett in Dior

That's a very accomplished dress that seems too old for her. If she was doing to do it, I think I'd have scraped back her bangs and done her hair in a sleek bun. The braid is absurd.

Leslie Bibb

Liam wandered in when I was writing this and so I asked him if he likes this outfit. He thought for a second and then said, "I like YOU." So that's nice. Unlike this outfit.

Gal Gadot in Armani

I'm wishing for non-matchy shoes. Otherwise, she is basically proving you can put any cut of dress on her and have it hang ideally.

Allison Williams in Jean-Louis Sabaji

She should have worn this to the actual Oscars. It's got AMAZING workmanship in that skirt, and the color is superb. Her other choice was dingy and blah; she'd have stood out marvelously in this.

Emily V. Gordon in LK Bennett, and Kumail Nanjiani

I quite liked her first dress. This is SUPER zany, but I applaud her for being like, "When we party, I want to do it in A CAPE." It's like adding a degree of difficulty -- putting quads in the second half of your program -- rather than taking it away.

Allison Janney in Brandon Maxwell

This is genius. It's crisp, it's clean, and it's related to what she wore earlier -- like she simply tore off the top and replaced it with a blouse. It's a smart styling strategy to keep the two looks related.

Eiza Gonzalez in Schiaparelli

This looks like she got bored one night and trimmed her bathrobe with neckties.

Danai Gurira in Gabriela Hearst

This is fine. Neither of her looks were my absolute favorites, but -- even with the harness here -- I prefer this one. And her head remains flawless.

Laura Dern in Gabriela Hearst

Meh. She's cooler than this wrinkly thing.

Sofia Carson in Lhuillier

Another one who traded a very very dramatic dress for a still fairly inconvenient one. It's forgettable: lovely fabric that would've shone if cut differently (or cut at all; seriously, she and Saoirse both look like someone just wrapped a bolt around them and stapled it). Nowhere near as groovy as the big red ensemble she had on earlier.

Salma in Gucci

This is veering into looking like a handbag design.

Kelly Marie Tran in Alberta Ferretti

Hoik it hoik it hoik it.

St Vincent in Saint Laurent

That romper feels like it should exist only on-stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards. But at least she can offer people a car wash with her shins.

The Post-Parties: People Who Changed

On the OUTSIDE, that is. Never change on the inside, Tiffany Haddish.
