Kirsten Dunst in archival Chanel from Shrimpton Couture

This is really simple, but Kirsten likes it that way. Also, oftentimes we lament when a gown is SO basic that it's not entirely identifiable as any designer's work... but in Chanel's case that's an asset, so.

with Jesse Plemons

She attended with Landry, who is in the new Scorsese movie, which PROBABLY means he's back to playing a bad guy? We'll soon see. I think he should've won an Oscar for Game Night, but what do I know.

Dua Lipa in Celine

It REALLY took me a moment to see her through the seaweed bangs.

Naomi Campbell in Chanel

This is all well and good from this side...

But what in Charmin's name is happening from this angle?

Brie Larson in Chanel

Great lipstick, but I have not enjoyed this Chanel journey for her. At least this looks comfortable, if also very nipple-forward.

in Chanel

These two pieces did hit the runway together, and I wish they hadn't. That is a daytime sundress for an awards brunch, and the cape does not change that. Nor does it particularly go with it.

Alexa Chung

This is ALL about that jewelry.

Carla Bruni in Saint Laurent

Lord. It looks like a bathing gown.

Naomi Ackie in Valentino

This is at least INTERESTING. It's from the collection where Valentino reinterpreted the concept of black/white tie.

Leonie Hanne in Valentino

If it doesn't fit a model in the bust, who DOES it fit?

Evan Ross, Ashlee Simpson

I was so startled to see her at Cannes that I put this in the wrong slideshow. Oh well! Behold, Ashlee Simpson and dramatic sleeves. I love it for her, honestly.

Gigi Hadid in Zac Posen

I believe this is from pre-fall 2014? Zac posted on IG that he woke up to these photos as a surprise. But he definitely has been angling for more work, and I hope he gets it -- although this old thing is maybe not the best argument for it. But the red carpet misses custom Posen.

Marion Cotillard

This is the best thing Chanel has done for her, at least recently, and it's basically just a belted blazer.

Alexa Chung in Prada

This seems inexcusable to me? I don't understand sending out dresses that are made to look like you sewed them while drunk.

Toni Garrn in custom Givenchy

I DO like this, and that color from Givenchy was a surprise.

Jessica Wang in Marmar Halim

Sure! That's very nice.

Carla Gugino

Sigh. WHY with the visible boning.

Pritika Swarup in Genny

With something like this, I don't think you have room for a millimeter of error, and it's taking a few of them on that right side of her bust.

Kiera Chaplin

Love it, though... not the yellow shoes. Those are super puzzling.

Lucien Laviscount in D&G

It's irritating that they do such good menswear.

Paz Vega in Michael Kors

This is so boring for Kors. Her necklace is the star, though. and maybe that was the idea.

Carla Bruni in Celine

I don't think it needs the train, but it's still pretty sexy and great on her. She does windblown tresses so well.

Coco Jones in Rami Kadi

THIS visible boning doesn't bother me as much? It feels like the concept of the dress is peeling back layers.

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu

That's the least elaborate thing she's ever worn.

Ester Expósito

This is if you married a gown with laddered panty-hose.
