Viola is so on top of this that she coordinated her freaking iPhone case to this outfit. Was that just happenstance? No idea, but I like to think her stylist keeps a supply of little rubber covers on hand.

I was so on board with this... until I wasn't. Great shoes! Good colors! But weird hem... and then, fake blouse? Or real blouse under real dress? With perma-crinkles? Thuso can only do so much when she's saddled with all that.

Whereas this has a very romantic feel. It's for meeting your lover at a garden party. You will DEFINITELY end up with your back pressed into a hedge, and something will snag, but it will be worth it.

This honestly feels a bit frumpy on her.

I like this better, obviously. Both this and the gold color work on her, but the cut of this feels more... purposeful.

She wore this to the Tory Burch show, but then to an appearance, so COUNT IT. I love it on her.

Viola was headed into The View, and I love that she's tugging on these as if getting everything ready to go into battle. I'd feel that way too if there was even an outside chance of running into Elisabeth Hasselbeck. (Is she still occasionally guest hosting, or was that a one-off?)

And that just looks comfy. We don't see Viola doing leisurewear that much, and this one works on her.

What did NOT work is making them all stand BEHIND the title of the movie? We didn't get full body shots here of anyone else (thank God Thuso went to a fashion show first). I ASSUME nobody's feet are hammed into, like, tiny individual bathrubs.

This dress is... hmm. Can we just focus on the great sunnies? And the purple velvet case she's holding that seems to belong to them? Yes. Let's hold those close.
