Tessa Thompson in archival Armani from 2009

The pros: It's archival (but not vintage; I read that a garment is meant to be 20+ years old before it can get that title), it's got a fascinating shape, and the cut of the black skirt is gorgeous. The cons: It looks like she repurposed a very old couch.

I still have not come around on the small sunglasses, but she did find some here that work on her face.

Hillary

She looks like she is summoning magical powers, and I can definitely think of a long list of people that need hexing right now, so...

Raffey Cassidy in Valentino

There is a lot going on here. Feathers! Sheers! Beading! Gloves! Sparkly fishnets Is the capital-F Fashion of it all is overwhelming her? I can't decide. (She and Daniel Radcliffe should play siblings in something soon, right?)

Bridgid Coulter (in Stello) and Don Cheadle

These two are a VERY dapper couple.

Emma Chamberlain in Valentino

Emma has been a Louis Vuitton brand ambassador, so it's a real shock to see her in Valentino here. It's not even a particularly good Valentino. It looks like something they made near the end of the collection with some red they had left over.

Emma rose to renown on YouTube, and I will say this: When I've seen her speaking, she's very personable. She just has Resting Tragedy Face.

Melanie Laurent in Gucci

Wait, can I see the dress this was originally, before someone twisted some fancy bandages over it?

Adam Driver

Everything seems to be in order here.

Rege-Jean Page

He might be kind of a goober, and I'm not mad at it.

Barbara Palvin in Armani from 2019, and Dylan Sprouse

Well, That's flat-out great.

Zion Moreno in Philosophy

Zion is a secondary character on the new Gossip Girl, and I believe this is her first major appearance off-campus, as it were. It might be the first of ANY of the women on that show other than Tavi. (I don't count the Met, because it's local to them.) I'm happy for her! I don't know if that show will survive the new boss's purge, so line up those opportunities while you can. Having said that: She is 27, and this outfit is serving "I'm 15 and it's my first party" vibes. It might partly be the shoes.

She did twirl it very well, though.

Isabeli Fontana

Princess Leia, but make it FASHION, as they say.

Francesca Tizzano

This is quite beautiful, and carefully peek-a-boo.

Rocio Morales in Armani

Whew, though, that is glamorous. It's just so simple and sophisticated. Fantastic.

Alessandra Ambrosio in Ermanno Scervino

This dress says, "Am I too late to the pink party?!?"

PIxie Lott in Armani

This is both nice and unmemorable.

Catherine Deneuve

Excellent purse to offset the red dress.

Greta Ferro in Armani

Since when is Armani making just... beaded boob patches?

Mariacarla Boscono in Gaultier

Whereas Gaultier makes stuff like this all the time, and yet... is anyone REALLY actually supposed to wear it?

Tessa Thompson, HRC, and the Rest of the Venice Opening Gala Fashion

Yes, it's true, HRC. Not HBC. I have the right acronym.
