Venice Wednesday

Jason Momoa

I love his pink suits. I love even more that he matched his Birkenstocks and his toenails to it. Momoa has always been very proud of pouring his giant manliness into colors traditionally associated with femininity, and he does it well.

At first I thought he was in a tremendous dance-y mood, and then I decided he was going full Karate Kid, but he's actually just showing off the pedi.

He also doesn't wear these just for show -- those toe grooves are worked IN.

As tender Venice moments go, we're not going to beat Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, but he's certainly willing to give it a go.

Oscar Isaac

I wish we could see more of the silvery black houndstooth. It matches his beard.

Devon Lee Carlson and Duke Nicholson

Duke plays Bar Manager, and yep, he's Jack's grandson, which you can totally see in his face. This has GOT to be someone else's suit, too, which you can see in a zillion places.

Noemie Merlant in Louis Vuitton

This doesn't captivate me -- it feels like she's wearing an impractical apron at her own fancy party.

It's better when she moves it. Also, she reminds me JUST a hair of Michelle Dockery in this photo.

Stella Maxwell

She'd better get out of there; they need that net at the US Open.

Teo Yoo and Jharrel Jerome

Two handsome dudes.

Rooney Mara

She loves black, but the first thing I thought of when I saw this was Natalie Portman. Except I think Natalie would have accessorized. A necklace, a bracelet, ANYTHING.

with Joaquin Phoenix

These two kind of had a weird tense energy on the red carpet. I'm sure it was nothing, but the only photo I could find of them seeming TOGETHER was...

... this one. Okay, a gentle butt-grab definitely counts as positive.

in Givenchy

I assume the other dress is ALSO Givenchy. It seems like they're REALLY walking it back to the classics.

This is lively and I think the colors suit her much better than the hyper-shiny pale yellow.

Julian Schnabel and Oscar Isaac

This is amazing. Oscar looks like he chartered a fishing boat for his bachelor party and then invited the owner to the wedding.
