West Side Story

Rachel Zegler in Dior

Oh, Dior, please don't lock her up for award season. I wanted so much more for her on this big night. This is archival from 2018, and has a light swiss dot on the fabric that's nice, and... that might be all I like? That dropped waist is not working, in part because the bodice itself looks like it's dropping. She's passing through Hoik City and it does not look like she's stopping for gas. And can we also talk about the dingy non-color? Imagine it in almost ANY other spot of the color wheel. Basically... we saw a slightly edgier and more expensive-looking dropped waist on Tessa Thompson earlier today, and that would have been a better energy here.

This is a super dress for your beach wedding. She does look great in it; does it need one more piece of jewelry?

Rachel Brosnahan

This is blending in to the backdrop too much for me to really have a feeling. I'm not blown away. It seems perfectly acceptable and that's not the worst bar to clear.

Jessica Capshaw

This looks fine! I'm resisting a digression about the Grey's Anatomy book, but my one-sentence review is: It shouldn't have been written until nobody had any more skin in the game, because as it stands too many people sounded like they were trying not to say what they really think. Okay, I guess I didn't resist that digression at all, then.

Ana Isabelle

Gorgeous! Get this woman some big earrings, though, I think.

Amber and Russ Tamblyn

I love Amber's shirt, which is a nod to the musical.

Martin Short

This delightful sprite! Nice to see you, sir.

Brian d'Arcy James

Dapper!

Ansel Elgort

Safe and solid!

Ricardo A. Zayas

Classic with a twist! And with that, I think I've used my quota of exclamation marks for the week. If not the month.

Paul Tazewell

What a cool jacket -- it looks almost like someone hand-painted a jazzier version of camo.

Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg

Bold shoe choice on La Capshaw. I'm not completely sure it works, but a hat-tip to her for the attempt.

Gayle King

And then Gayle stormed in wearing that FANTASTIC coat and I forgot everything else that happened.

Rita Moreno

And then THIS. The legend. Something about this whole look reminds me of Jane Fonda. Maybe it's just body-con sequins and the sassy short silver hair.

Rita Moreno, however, is always only ever wholly herself. SLAY IT, you magician.
