Stella Maxwell in McQueen
Just, like....line things? It's not that hard. The choice of a black g-string is also...compelling but perhaps not in the way one wants to compel. (Her face in this photo is also like....I know.)
Parker Posey in Gucci
PERFECT, down to the shiny silver shoe. Five stars, two thumbs up, no notes.
Rosé in Saint Laurent
She's contractually obligated to wear this and she looks like she's in the middle of a sulk about it. This isn't BAD but it looks like something a Parisian editrix would wear to a holiday party in 1983 and I'm a little concerned her hose are sagging.
Viola Davis in Gucci
Fabulous and also REASONABLE. (Those silver pointy-toed shoes must be a Gucci special; a metallic heel IS a good add to a person's wardrobe.)
Madelyn Cline
Actually, I love this. Simple, elegant, and a great background for that stunning necklace.
Emily Ratajkowski in Gucci
Yawn. I mean – she's objectively beautiful but this dress feels so artistically insubstatial.
Irina Shayk
This is simple and good and fine and nice and also you will NOT remember it later, but sometimes that's okay.
Soo Joo Park in Gucci
She literally made a Moira Rose joke on her own Instagram about this.
Sarah Paulson in Gucci
Of all the Gucci we saw at this event, this might be my favorite. She looks chic and EVIL, in a way that's very compelling. It's slightly Maleficent. (Maleficent is, of course, arguably the most elegant Disney villain, though I think Ursula the Sea Witch gives her a run for her money.)
Olivia Munn in vintage Mugler
This is just really, really, really very good.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Gucci
The front of this is very chic....
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Gucci
...the back has got me worried about what's happening on the back of Sarah Paulson's dress. This is frankly ridiculous. It's like someone took the Tom Ford Gucci era and injected it with Axe Body Spray.
Evan Ross
I have questions about this footwear. Serious questions.
Alex Consani in Gucci
This is great, though. It's so sculptural – perfect for an event at an art museum.
Sofia Vergara in Celia Kritharioti
In today's first post, I submitted that I think Paris Hilton needs a make-under and I think Sofia needs a refresh, too. She's done a LOT of these gowns over the years and while they're never BAD, it might be fun to try something a little new and interesting. She's only 54 – something about this dress paradoxically feels older.
Homer Gere
Sure! No one will be thrown into a violent rage by this.
Jennifer Tilly
Miss Tilly always brings it; this is fun and festive on her and it's really all about the jewelry, which is amazing and which she surely owns outright.
Monica Barbaro in Gucci
This is perfect on her.
Anthony Ramos in Willy Chavarria
This coat needed to be taken up a bit – like it is on the model – because as is, he looks like three kids standing on each other's shoulders in their dad's overcoat.
Alton Mason
Elegant! Does it MAYBE need a lapel pin?
Quinta Brunson (in Gucci) and Chris Perfetti
I will allow both of these looks on them. Speaking of lapel pins, Chris Perfetti sometimes tips a bit too far over into Kooksville but this is so perfect, and Quinta looks very polished and sexy.
Andrew Garfield in Gucci
SPEAKING OF LAPEL PINS!
Malin Akerman in Saint Laurent PF23
This is fun and it's good to see someone bring some whimsy to this event. (She took the gloves off inside, so they're not attached.)
Rufus Sewell
Very classic, very elegant.
Michael Urie (in Harbison Studio) and Mark Indelicato
An Ugly Betty reunion! Where is Becky Newton? (Where IS Becky Newton.) (Oh, I guess she's on The Lincoln Lawyer. That is NOT how I imagined that character but I'm happy she's working.)
Ashley Park in Prabal Gurung
This is the most restrained thing she's had on her body in the last 18 months.
Vittoria Ceretti
Apologies that this isn't the best photo ever snapped of her, but the dress is fantastic. (Last I checked, she was still dating Leonardo DiCaprio, who didn't appear to be at this event...but his mom was.)
Anderson Paak
Why not?
