There's a shot of him walking in this on Instagram, and it's SO billowy and lush. I love it. Also, it makes me miss Billy Porter a little.

Stephanie Hsu

Whereas this looks like dressmaker's muslin, a stapler, and a last-second trip to Joann's Fabrics.

Awkwafina

Sparkly sandals would have been great; those are like strapping your feet to a block of wood. Otherwise, this is all cute.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan

I wasn't sure about this at first, but that fabric is very alluring.

Jamie Chung

And THAT is a hoot.

Joan Chen

Her film Didi is getting some attention -- she netted an Independent Spirit Award nomination -- and hopefully this means she gets fewer bras masquerading as gowns.

Becca Tilley and Hayley Kiyoko

I enjoy that their dress ruffles balance each other out -- Becca's is at the bottom, and Hayley's is at the top. I do wish Hayley's just stopped at the knee; she got the rougher end of the stick here.

Sherry Cola

This is unobjectionable. Not EXCITING, but perfectly nice.

Aileen Wu

She's in Alien: Romulus, which apparently was quite good. I like that this dress is trying to create interest with the lace pieces, but in practice they look more like splotches.

Alicia Hannah-Kim

She's on Cobra Kai. This is a very, very nifty bodice on her; it's effective and well-styled, with the right restraint on jewelry.

Anjali Bhimani

I love that sculptural element on her shoulder.

Hiroyuki Sanada

He was one of the honorees. Do I wish it were a TAD jazzier? Yes, but when don't I? He still looks handsome.
