This is a scrolldown for me. The green is great, the lipstick is funky-experimental -- she looks like Wakanda's biggest Philadelphia Eagles fan -- and then the boots are just giant matching shinguards.
Danai Gurira in McQueen

You know what I'm going to say without me even having to type it. But I will! Because I need to make clear that I think much of this dress is gorgeous, and it's just that the sudden middle sheerness distracts rather than enhances it. But the rest is SO good. The bracelets and purse are perfect.
Winston Duke

He looks like a Bond villain. Perhaps the new Bond can take on menswear collections.
Fabulous. As is the news that Girls5Eva will live another season on Netflix. If that's the only reason you had Peacock, then congratulations, you can cancel Peacock.
Queen Latifah

This is a dip in the festivities. She's swaddled in denim. And the Celine shoes, I keep thinking are a watermark on the photo.
Amber Ruffin

But! Here is the tremendous upswing.

And he, as usual, nailed it.

June is a stylist, I believe, or style expert, and this is a very poor advertisement of her services indeed.

I love that she tried it, but this dress -- I think it's Christopher John Rogers -- might be more than she can sell? Maybe?
Sophie Sumner

Satan's silly string claims another victim.

His shirt looks like confetti. In a good way.
Lupita in Burberry

She looks far cooler in this than anyone has a right to look.

Are those... two... swords?

This reminds me of Lupita's crisscross jacket from the other day, which I linked to in the intro, but just... done better.
Winston Duke

Is there a Sunglass Hut outside XM Radio? Because everyone was hot for shades here. (This is a hair tight, but the shirt pattern is cool -- it looks like the scene in a high-concept mail title sequence where wallpaper starts to melt into pools of evil. You can have that, Ryan Murphy.)
Ryan Coogler

Every time someone wears blue stripes, I will call them a Secret Fug National even though I never actually believe it. Because if we had a flag, it would be Breton-striped. (On my Animal Crossing Island, Fugtopia, we DO have a flag.)
