Renee Zellweger
Renee is one of those people I feel like Law Roach would have a FIELD DAY with, if he had free rein and about 15 appearances. She is a Noted Kook just waiting to blossom. This is all very respectable and safe, and I think she could do SO MUCH MORE. Or at the very least, imagine her in Jean Smart's Siriano from the SAGs. Renee could do that, too.
Josh Duhamel
Josh is giving me big "Renee, you old so-and-so!" energy here.
Judy Greer
This is ALSO extremely professional and fine but not fascinating, and maybe a bit daytime? Judy would rock that floral Vampire's Wife suit that Sandra Oh just wore. Maybe we need to start a Celebrity Clothes Swap system.
Gideon Adlon
Gideon is Pamela Adlon's daughter, and an actress herself who apparently is in the Pam show. Which I keep calling The Truth About Pam, even though that is wrong. Anyway, this has slight Prom vibes and visible boning, which is never my favorite style choice, BUT I have to say I think it's good on her and I like the detail where the white part hits the skirt.
Courteney Cox
That is some surprise side boob from Monica Geller. I do like this overall -- her necklace stack sells it all.
Mira Sorvino in St. John
Isn't Mira one of the women whose career got torpedoed by Harvey Weinstein? I wish her EVERY continued success, and honestly, she looks great without a Marchesa in sight and that IS superb revenge.
Aw, Lisa Kudrow came for both of her friends.
Julia Jones
This could not be simpler, but she's making it look cool (fitting, as I believe she was once a model), and making me wonder if I, too, can get away with using a t-shirt dress as formalwear. I'll report back in June.
Greg Kinnear
As usual, Greg looks a little confuzzled.
Judith Light
It's ENTIRELY conceivable that Judith believes she is not standing there alone.
Merrin Dungey
Merrin is pulling off the lime sherbet color very well (although her makeup artist went a little heavy on the blush). From my Alias rewatch -- I am still early in season two -- I can report that the show was correct to stop making us care about Sydney's regular life, because the show never did a good job of making any of those characters interesting or textured on their own. And they'd established early that no one could know the truth about Sydney without dying (a problem Chuck solved by... not doing that). Ergo, Francie and Will only became fun when their exits were ordained. But they tried! Merrin particularly just had NOTHING to hang onto there in terms of material.
Melody Thornton
You know what they say: Every party needs a saucy Victorian ghost.
Gus Birney
I learned a thing! Gus here is the acting child of Constance Schulman -- you will know her face and voice, even if you don't know the name -- and Tony-winner Reed Birney, who I assume is half a second away from a role on The Gilded Age. You can absolutely see Constance in her face, now that you know, right? I am distracted by how naked-seeming her top is, The dress itself is actually pretty, but the sheerness level is distracting from the workmanship.
Mary McCormack
I am always happy to see Mary looking well. She's there with her longtime husband, who you might remember from this little lowlight. May I say that I hope he groveled?
Alysia Reiner
She's in this, too. She always seems like she's the yoga instructor you can't quit going to, because you secretly like the fact that you fear her judgment.
Kara Del Toro
I do not know who this is -- I believe a social media celeb of some ilk? -- but she is not throwing away her shot, as it were. But, leaving aside her dedication to earning some kind of tribute account for her inner thigh, the white/silvery shoes were the wrong call.
