In which we learn Keri Russell drinks a margarita and Matthew Rhys is a martini man. (I find martinis so hard to navigate a party with! So easy to spill!)
Margot Robbie

She looks dishy. The outfit she's wearing in that editorial shot behind her is BONKERS.
Taraji P. Henson

Someone give this woman a superhero role.
Emma Stone

This is a fun and interestingly 80s direction for her. I was going to type, "someone put her in an 80s period piece" and then remembered Cruella.
Storm Reid

Are those...harem pants?! (That's not the only thing happening here but it is my primary query.)
Gabrielle Union
LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 05: Gabrielle Union is seen on January 05, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Wil R/Star Max/GC Images)
She's an ageless babe and also I fear this is one of those dresses that is ultimately really annoying to wear because it rides up and scoots around.
Jurnee Smollett

I wish we had a better snap of this; she looks potentially great.
Janicza Bravo

Natasha ABSOLUTELY needs to be in an 80s period piece, too.
Abby Elliott

I suspect those are cool boots down there.
Danielle Brooks

Excuse me! This is so much sexier than she usually goes and I love that for her.
James Marsden

Dreamy as per usual.
Da'Vine Joy Randolph

This is good on her, if perhaps more classically professional than this party usually veers.
Niecy Nash-Betts in Versace

Can Niecy Nash-Betts and Sheryl Lee Ralph play...cousins? in something? (They don't really look alike generally to me, but something about this look was giving me essence of SLR.) Crime-solving cousins. Yes. I need this.
Barry Keoghan

Barry DOES seem like a man who might veer into the mesh shirt territory.
Jon Hamm and Anna Osceola

Hamm looking silver foxier than usual!
Greta Gerwig

She looks very fresh-faced and youthful here and also like she was trying on costumes for the school play but didn't feel like taking off the top of her uniform.
Kathryn Hahn

This is NOT her first bubble skirt rodeo.
Julia Garner

This is a beautiful reminder of why she was originally cast in the now-scuttled Madonna biopic.

Quinta Brunson

Cailee Spaeny

I feel like this event might have been a good opportunity for her to go young and weird and funky.
Addison Rae

This all feels right for two youths at Chateau Marmont. (Two Youths at Chateau Marmont is a YA book title brainstormed by Mr. How Do You Do, Fellow Kids.)
Brit Marling

This is bright and funky and works on her.
