Between the pleating, the rope belt and the cowl neck, there's a lot going on with this Dior gown—in a good way.
Krysty Wilson-Cairns
Nominated for best original screenplay (for 1917), Wilson-Cairns seems to be thinking, "If I dress like an Oscar, maybe I'll win an Oscar."
laura dern in Armani Privé
Be honest: When you first saw this, did you think it looked like chocolate syrup being poured over strawberry ice cream?
mindy kaling in Dolce & Gabbana
Between the striking yellow hue and the megawatt necklace, this might be the best Kaling has ever looked.

Janelle Monaé in Ralph Lauren
Not a ton to say about this hooded Ralph Lauren gown except...oh my word, it's perfection.

Saoirse Ronan in Gucci
We're still processing this whole situation, to be frank.
Salma Hayek Pinault in gucci
Does Salma ever look less than goddess-like? No. No, she doesn't.
Natalie Portman in Dior Haute Couture

Florence Pugh in Louis Vuitton
If you're not matching your shoes to your dress, are you even a breakout star?

Goth, but make it risqué.
Cynthia Erivo in Atelier Versace
We can't get over the contrast between the bodice's futuristic vibes and the skirt's classic drama.

Gal Gadot in Givenchy Haute Couture
This feels like a pretty big departure from Gadot's normal style and...we want the old Gal back.
Charlize Theron in Dior Couture and Tiffany and Co. jewelry
It's a perfectly lovely dress, but we're having a hard time getting past the length of this woman's legs.

Regarding the cape: We'd expect nothing less from a (fictional) superhero.

In this ruffled pink Christian Siriano confection, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star Butters proves she has more style chops in her ten years of life than we do in...lots more years than that.
kelly ripa in christian siriano
Is Ripa's black, ruffled gown groundbreaking? Not really, but the Christian Siriano design is classic and slightly dramatic.
