Maggie Gyllenhaal in Celine

Much as no one will remember what year she chaired the jury or what they even did -- freeing! -- likewise no one will remember this dress. Something tells me she's ALSO fine with that outcome.

Jewel in Genny

When people say that such-and-such celebrity is "UNRECOGNIZABLE," I almost always disagree. But I truly did not process this as Jewel until I saw (and cross-referenced) the photo ID. Does she even look THAT different? I don't know what it is. She's kind of serving Cate Blanchett in this nutso chest thong.

Laura Dern in Prada

I guess! She looks like a sophisticated bridesmaid at somebody's low-key late-in-life second wedding. And given that she presented a lifetime achievement awards to Clooney, that might actually be the correct vibe.

Nicholas Galitzine

His shirt is looking very... bib-esque.

Also, he too got handed some sunnies. In this close-up, the shirt is even MORE like a large white lapping tongue.

Jonathan Bailey

I hope these were free. Or came with a nice check folded up and tucked into the case.

Here is the rest of him. You weren't missing much, but I predict no one will mind a second look at him in general.

Jack O'Connell

TWO scarves! This one is exceptionally long. It's almost eccentric. I kind of feel like Gary Oldman should be wearing this.

Zazie Beetz in Armani

Her sunnies MIGHT be the worst. Which is a pity because otherwise she looks gorgeous.

Brittany Snow

Lovely.

Chase Sui Wonders in Armani

I am not sure those baby bangs work on anyone. Also, I think they should have found something way more noteworthy and creative for her; this doesn't make the impact that it could.

The back at least has something going for it.

Nina Dobrev in Armani

Now THIS one is quite interesting, and slithery, and unique. I actually love it.

AND it gives her something to do with her hands.

J Balvin in Armani

Human handbag lining.

Rebecca Donaldson, Carlos Sainz

CARLOS. You have a race to prepare for! (It's in Italy, but still.)

Stella Maxwell

It's a bodystocking, pal. Love yourself more than that.

Mary Beth Barone

Why are nipples and underwear SO irresistible?

Guy Pearce

He plays Rupert Murdoch in Ink. It's nice to see him!

Hayes Warner

She's in The Shards, and it's her first-ever acting role; clearly someone is REALLY keen to get her some exposure. I like the whimsy of the untied bow tie and cummerbund here, but I don't think it's as well-executed as it could be.

Madisin Ryan in Armani

Something is off about the bodice, right? Almost as if it were designed for someone with much larger breasts, even though I'm sure it wasn't.

Alessandra Ambrosio

Zzzz.

Tatiana Korsakova

Well, THAT woke me up.
