Academy Museum 2026: Black and White

Priyanka Chopra in Vivienne Westwood

I am not sure I love the fruits of Priyanka and Law's reunion? The details on this are a bit ooky – they look like spray-painted hair.

Amanda Seyfried in Prada

She looks very pretty, and rightly is letting that necklace be a star. It's stunning.

Kim Kardashian in vintage Balenciaga

Law also styled this. It's a very nice wedding cake of a dress, and the updo is smart with it, but if it can't be tweaked to fit her chest then what are we doing here? It doesn't enhance the look, and it seems uncomfortable, although maybe she's numb there by now from all the times she's probably constricted that area.

Justin Timberlake (in Tom Ford) and Jessica Biel (in Tamara Ralph)

J.T.'s suit is excellent. But he's also, for once, calming the hell down and letting Jessica take up as much space as she'd like. That is progress. (She looks great.)

Goldie and Kurt

We haven't talked about this yet, but this Oscar reverse-silhouette on the carpet tricks my eye every time into thinking it's a weird part of someone's outfit. Here, at least, I knew Goldie likely wouldn't venture too far into wackitude.

Emmy Rossum in Louis Vuitton

The word I came to first here was "efficient."

Cole Escola in Chanel

The word I came to first HERE was "working the altar at the cult ceremony." (This actually might be brown? Oh well.)

Anna Kendrick in Georges Chakra

I don't think this needs the tulle.

Hannah Waddingham in custom Akris

This is a more fetching take on a similar idea, for me.

Kristen Wiig in Chanel

Maybe Kristen Stewart couldn't come, so they just went down the line in the First Name: Kristen section of the rolodex. Because I could TOTALLY see Stew in this.

Connor Storrie in Saint Laurent

He can carry more than this. It doesn't feel new or interesting on him at all – almost like he wasn't coming until the last second.

Summer H. Howell

Since she's in Carrie, I hope she spent the night pretending she was going to go full Carrie at this event.

Ella Rubin in Chanel

She and Emmy Rossum are my favorite curls of the moment, so I'm bummed she straightened them. I get going sleek sometimes for fun, but her curl texture could have been a great contrast to this. Perhaps she didn't want to draw attention away from whatever died on her hip.

Belmont Caneli in Armani

I wonder if that villainous mustache is for a role.

Jessica Lange in Gucci

Well, her head looks amazing. The dress is very standard, nothing thrilling. The Conclave of the Jessicas will not need to add this to the agenda.

Karlie Kloss in Alaia

Sure! This also really seems like it's about the jewels.

Charles Melton

He can grab his snowboard and go straight from here to the slopes.

Kate Hudson in Armani

Hard to be upset with this.

Dakota Fanning in Saint Laurent

NOT hard to be upset with this. That necklace is actually excellent, and could've been so much fun with something a bit more disco and a bit less... boring translucent black lace.

Leslie Mann in vintage Chanel from 2005

Loving all the vintage pulls, but just because it IS vintage doesn't mean you have to wear it, Leslie.

Jessica Alba in Tamara Ralph

I accept this gladly.

Lindsey Vonn

You know, this is pretty good for her – and I still cannot get over that she is even WALKING, much less in heels. The Olympics don't seem long enough ago for her to be this recovered!

Nia Long

This fabric is so unforgiving.

Elizabeth Debicki in Balmain

Other than the boob leakage on one side, this is foxy on her, and I love how she teased up her hair. But when you have shoes that are barely there, your actual feet basically become an accessory to your formalwear, as they are so prominent. I feel like... maybe even just some BUFFING? A clear polish? Or just... close those toes.

Ana de Armas in Louis Vuitton

This dress looks like a very evil rabbit reporting for eavesdropping duty.

Victoria Ceretti in Armani

This is custom, and frankly, I do not like it. Those teeny boob cups being held up by a shoelace? It's not flattering.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph in Louis Vuitton

However, THIS is very well done on her, even if it is not thrilling.

Bill Skarsgard

His bow tie was so resolutely crooked that I wonder if it was intentional.

Anthony Ippolito

This is your Sylvester Stallone in I Play Rocky. I've heard it's good, even though the trailer does nothing for me. It's just SUCH cosplay, even if he does nail the voice. But I have also never really responded to ol' Sly. I might need to get past it.
