Oooooh, I love this. So sleek and chic.

This is about right. She seems to dress to inspire the least conversation possible. (That is intended as a neutral statement; I just think that's what she's doing.)
Gabrielle Union in Prada

This lipstick dress is ADORABLE. The perfect amount of whimsy.
Lupita in Gucci

She's just always dreamy.

I do not love this ... tube-boob... the bodice is giving her.
Marielle Heller, Amy Adams

Both of these women look super. I hope we get to see so much of them.
Elizabeth Olsen

Those sleeves are major, but the hair clips are distracting.
Sandra Oh

I think the visible boning detracts from all the neck details.
Sydney Sweeney in Erdem

This is an interesting swerve from her. It's very sweet. But also looks a bit like she decorated it herself with tissue paper.
Julianne Moore (in Bottega Veneta) and Tilda Swinton

This is very complementary dressing, and I also think Julianne's dress ALSO looks too semi-homemade.
Sydney Sweeney

... Oh, no, we've backslid already. It only took one slide and we're doing weird sexy widow shit.

And here we have Sexy Baywatch Widow.

I think if they made a proper sequel to Center Stage, Jodie Sawyer would wear this in the final ballet.
Margaret Qualley, Demi Moore

Demi looks great; Margaret looks like she walked off the set of an acid-tinged Bridgerton ripoff.
Joe Wright, Haley Bennett

Joe, meanwhile, looks like the Scarlet Pimpernel just freed him from prison.
Selena Gomez (in Rodarte), Karla Sofía Gascón, Adriana Paz, and Zoe Saldana (in Armani)

Selena looks fabuous, Karla needs a necklace, Adriana would kill a red lip if she so chose, and Zoe looks like her waxer is blackmailing her into promoting their services.
Pharrell

I am so fascinated that he turned a documentary about himself into a LEGO documentary about himself.
Grace VanderWaal in Liam Wilson Mackenzie

What happens when a bird dive-bombs your draft excluder? Voila.

This comes off like the bottom is mildewing.

Can we get rid of the boots and then see how it feels?
Kiernan Shipka in Elie Saab

This had a special Partial Nudity Warning on it, but I'm pleased to say that I think it's very hard to actually see anything.
Q'orianka Kilcher

This is pleasantly dramatic. Would you have done SILVER shoes, instead, to play off the contrasting jacket lining?
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, and Tom Hiddleston

And congratulations to Karen Gillan! About the only way I can sign off on those shoes is if her pregnant feet just feel BETTER in them. Do what you need to do, milady.
