Tracee Ellis Ross

White House Correspondents' Dinner 2015 Trace Ellis Ross

I love her for showing up in an orange cape. I do wish it looked better-made, though. Lupita and Gwynnie spoiled us on spotlessly tailored ones. I also don't like the addition of the sheer bit along the neck; it's an eyesore. A choker would've been hotter. But: She still looks classy.

Connie Nielsen

I have to say, I enjoy this. it looks SO COMFORTABLE and a bit queenly. Neither of these first two are perfect, but both of them bring the drama.

Gina Rodriguez

This might be a size too small, but otherwise she looks smashing.

Rebecca Gayheart, Eric Dane

I love the color here, but it looks like she folded her train back over and stapled it to her hip. And as much as -- like Keri Russell -- I miss the signature curls (from 90210 and her Noxema Girl days), her hair is super cute that length.

In the thumbnail on Getty, I legitimately didn't recognize her. That hair color just... isn't right on her. The dress is fine but forgettable.

Michelle Monaghan

This is another one that I think is too tight on her by a hair, so it almost looks like it's constricting her. Which reminds me of the Shel Silverstein poem about being eaten by a boa constrictor, which... a Where The Sidewalk Ends wormhole is not where I ever expected Michelle Monaghan to take me.

Connie Britton

I think what's distracting me here is that seeing the inside of the fold on the bodice keeps making me think she has a pen tucked in there. Which WOULD be apt for a correspondents' dinner, in case she wanted to... you know, correspond about anything like they did in Olde Tymes.

Jane Seymour

Something about THIS bodice twist reminds me of the shape of an AIDS ribbon. Which is neither here nor there; it's just all I can see now when I look at it.

Ivanka Trump

I am finally over being tired of fishtails, because we don't get as many of them now, so I can enjoy the workmanship on the bottom while complaining about how the bodice does nothing for anyone.

Anne V

Did we know about this pregnancy? Anyway, congrats, and that is pretty.

WHYYYYY the lack of lipstick.

Brit Marling in Roksanda

I feel two ways at once about this. The waist ruffle looks SO LIMP and yet the bright blue underside totally works for me, so basically, I really do have all the feelings.

Kelly Rutherford

This is light pink, right? That's how I processed it, anyway. And it's... what you wear to a formal Easter service after gorging yourself on a crate of Creme Eggs.

Irina Shayk

I decided this had a blush hue to it also. I am basically almost never a fan of slinky satin, but this is so much better than what we're used to -- and what pushed her at least one round deeper into Fug Madness than I'd anticipated -- that we should call this a high note, right?

I nearly wrote up the first two outfits here as A Motherf'ing Cape-Off, but then I realized Connie Nielsen's qualifies more as a caftan. Details count. [Photos: Getty]
