Ayo Edebiri in Conner Ives
What a brilliant deviation from her Chanel contract! Chanel hasn't even done that badly by her, but this is a fantastic suit and she looks so dapper in it. I love it. Chanel could never.
Andrew Garfield in Edward Sexton
This is pretty sharp, too. For all the stupid pants we've seen lately, and we'll see more, the tailoring here looks to be exquisite. I rarely say the words, "Look to Garfield for the answer," but here we are.
Monica Barbaro in Brandon Maxwell
This is certainly sexy on her, but it feels heavily inspired by some of the lacy versions I've seen on Rodarte many times over the years. But at least it ISN'T lacy, and the pleats on the skirt are exploding in an accomplished way, so... maybe it's all good.
Jordan Firstman in Saint Laurent
Credit where credit is due: While it's not as sharp as Andrew Garfield's, it's not as dumpy as most other Saint Laurent suits lately.
Ice Spice
AND THE BRA DOESN'T EVEN FIT. This is some real Fug Madness stuff right here.
Tracee Ellis Ross
I assume this is Givenchy because we saw a Givenchy-clad Charlize in those shoes already. It's weird, and makes it look like she covered her hands in glue and then stuck them in a paper shredder's basket, and I assume there's another outfit underneath this giant flapping coat? But at least it's waking me up.
Guitarricadelafuente
This guy has such great hair and beautiful eyes; he's got to be on posters on people's bedroom walls. His jacket is a little big, too, but I think the bare chest helps.
Rosalind Eleazar
That top could have been awesome with zany pants.
Owen Thiele
Another crisply done suit, but also, LOOK at the expression. It's so good. It's not even "Come Hither," it's more like, "How DARE you come hither but also get your ass over here."
Anthony Ippolito in Dior Homme
This just seems too improvised.
Belmont Cameli in Vivienne Westwood
This is a great idea, sloppily built. He looks like a pirate at whatever the marauder version of the Oscars would be.
Don Cheadle
Don knows the power of a good lid.
Tinashe in Mowalola
I can't rightly say the design is my favorite, but she looks fantastic in it. I wish it covered the navel? That's never very chic.
Cara Delevingne
So close. We just need the toe of a pointy boot, Cara.
Inde Navarette in Jil Sander
Meanwhile, this poor girl is trying to ride the wave to the Oscars, and you're giving her a sports bra and a can-can dancer's funeral? No!
Matt Damon
However: That's sharp as hell. He somehow looks like his own action figure – like someone molded him and dropped him into a diorama.
Pacey
Everything seems to be in order here, yes.
Zosia Mamet
Nothing seems to be in order here. She belted a tennis skirt and then cut off circulation to her feet.
Halle Bailey
She looks like a beautiful jewel thief who is, frankly, not subtle about it.
Shaboozey
The pin on his jacket seems... too far south, right? And the pants are too long, and the hat brim is too low. Nits to pick, but I'm picking them, because he's usually so sharp.
Patrick Schwarzenegger
No thanks.
Angel Reese
Could be so much worse. But also, so much livelier.
Gerran Howell
The pin stripes somewhat save this.
Chace Crawford
That suit has potential, but Nate Archibald looks like he just rolled out of bed straight into it. And then maybe got back in and rolled around in it for a minute.
Anderson Paak
I genuinely did not recognize him without the wild '70s wig on. I must know: Is that a tattoo of himself making this exact face?
A Hamlin
I think it's Delilah, not Amelia, but guess what, I'm not even going to check. The younger Hamlins are a long way from having their mother's ability to carry zany ideas.
Heather
