Demi Moore in custom GapStudio by Zac Posen
This is great. She looks fantastic it in, and – critically – it's totally correct for this specific event. I'm glad it was specified that we can't just go down to the mall and pick this one up.
Lupita Nyong'o in custom GapStudio by Zac Posen
Meanwhile, Lupita looks terrific here – the jean jacket is really fun – but Zac's Fashion Jeans look AWFUL. You're the creative director at the literal GAP. Just WALK INTO YOUR OWN STORE and take some NORMAL JEANS off the shelf.
Keke Palmer in vintage Bob Mackie
This was worn by Raquel Welch!!! on Cher's TV show!!!!! You can see it in action here. I'm obsessed with the fact that she wore this. Keke is one of our most delightful celebrities.

The back is sexy!
Lindsey Vonn in Gabriela Hearst
This whole vibe is like...mid-career Madonna gets really into Arthurian legend.
Becky G in Carolina Herrera
She looks SO cute in this. The dress is charming and her hair and makeup are perfect. Five stars, two thumbs up.
Esther McGregor in Thom Browne
I appreciate the commitment on a night honoring designers. Why not wear the MOST designer-y thing from your allotted designer? This is also great if you slightly wish you looked like you were wearing a tennis racket.
Allison Janney in Christian Siriano
This is A LOT of sleeve. Perhaps...too much sleeve? Is such a thing possible? The color IS perfect.
Lili Reinhart in Monse
Rare it is that I have said this about Monse: This is fantastic and she looks fabulous wearing it.
Nicky Hilton in Alice + Olivia
This is like something made out of a bedspread, but artfully so. I actually think her giant necklace is drawing focus and this needed different styling. I hope the train is detachable!
Rose Byrne in Carolina Herrera
I LOVE IT. And her corresponding earrings! Perfect.
Carrie Coon
I support my queen, Bertha Russell, in everything she does – and in her quest to grow out this haircut – but maybe feels like the designer was in the middle of futzing around with it and decided that, no, actually they were DONE, this is DONE, you're great, go out there and get 'em!
Alexa Chung in Tory Burch
This is a BEAUTIFUL dressing gown but that IS what it is.
Brandy (in Sergio Hudson) and Monica
Brandy is adorable and also looks like she could step in at Chicago at any moment. Meanwhile, Monica is wearing a salute to 1970s door-beads. However: Both of these women's heads look fantastic and their faces are great.
Naomi Osaka in Miss Claire Sullivan
I told you that polka dots are back! This has a real Whit-Stillman's-Metropolitan-look.
Megan Thee Stallion in Kim Shui
This isn't the worst thing she's ever worn, but nor is it the best. Perhaps the tassels are because she's excited about the current season of The Gilded Age, on which we are promised some TASSEL DRAMA.
Coco Jones
That slit seems unnecessarily perilous but, overall, this is really pretty.
Julia Fox in Miss Claire Sullivan
Yes, she's wearing a map. Honestly, I think this is cool. It IS a fashion event.

Also, it's important to support recycling.
A Variety of People in Saint Laurent
In which the people at Saint Laurent remind everyone that they love to just put all their brand ambassadors in whatever looks are closest at a hand, at this event or at the Met Gala. (Having said that, at least a lot of these looks are good.)
Tinashe in Christopher John Rogers
This is so festive and fun.
Brittany Snow
This is pretty enough from the front, but...
Brittany Snow
...gorgeous from the side. Maybe she will just crab-walk through this party.
Indya Moore in Diotima
I'm slightly perplexed by the napkin rings on her right strap, but otherwise, this is fab. I want to touch it, which hopefully did not happy to her while she was trying to wear it in peace.
Pink Pantheress in (custom!) Coach
This is...Coach, look away...really bad. That black bow feels like such a random afterthought; this entire look would have been improved if someone had "accidentally" ripped it off before she left.
Elle Fanning in Coach
And this is random but slightly better. She looks like she borrowed a coat from Angel on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer while leaving a gala, and at least that's some kind of vibe.
Emily Ratajkowski
The proportions on this are wack. It would look great if the skirt hit her actual waist. We don't need to reinvent the wheel of shirt/sweater entirely!
Anna Wintour
I heard that necklace is cursed.
