I love the color and the fabric/beadwork, but dislike the neckline and stiff peplum. It just doesn't move with her at all and she looked like a paper doll in it.

It was actually somewhat reminiscent of a paler, floppier peplum dress that Emma Stone wore a couple years ago (when she won). I didn't like that one either!

Still, great color. Wish it was a more straightforward sheet with maybe a sweetheart or cutaway neckline.

Speaking of Emma Stone, this was low key and good. I would like it better in a color.

+1. So many people looking positively skeletal.

I’m more weirded out by the plastic surgery faces. At some point, looking 20 years younger than your real age isn’t impressive. It’s just weird looking.

Agree. And some of these women are not thin due to ozempic. Demi has looked this way for decades now. I think some of those women limit carbs, eat no sugar, and work out a couple hours a day. Anniston is another like that. I don’t even think it’s really an eating disorder — they are actually probably really healthy but I would be homicidal if I lived like that. But I do know people who really love a lean chicken breast over bulgar with kale followed by an hour of Pilates.

I admit it totally don’t know but Kidman has the look to me of someone who is so stressed out by her perfectionism that she has diarrhea almost every day. She just seems so, so tightly wound.

I posted the above -- it was a top 5 look from the awards for me. But then Wunmi went and wore the below to the Vanity Fair party, which I also love, and also just love them next to each other. She totally won the night for me.

I really really love that dress that Ellie is wearing. Sexy but classy, really eye catching but not tacky, super flattering.

They are actually similar levels of revealing, because while Gwyneth's has the hip fully visible instead of covered, Zendaya's has more side boob and it' visible skin instead of illusion netting.

But Zendaya's is so much sexier and prettier specifically because it's selective in what it covers up and hides. And in this jersey fabric, it just flowed and moved with her even though the bodice was obviously extremely tailored and then taped into place. It's seductive without feeling naked, whereas Gwyneth's dress is naked without feeling seductive. This winds up looking made for her and comfortable, whereas Gwyneth's dress looked awkward and like it was a joke.

Zendaya’s look is also unflattering. And what happened to Pattinson’s face??

I like it in theory but she looked uncomfortable. It also had a low scoop back and most have been just taped on because there was nothing else to keep it in place. So she had just extremely stiff, erect posture all night (she was sitting next to Michael B. Jordan's mom and this was especially noticeable during his acceptance speech because they kept cutting to his mom and then Emma was there looking very happy for MBJ but also kind of sitting forward and very upright in a weird way).

I actually love the color, fabric, but which they'd done something she could sit and move in more easily.

She doesn't have the you-know-what appeal to wear this kind of dress. Very stiff and wooden.

Another view. I think it looks boring and too basic but fine from the front, and then she turns and you're like "oh. she's naked." Having the cut up the sides isn't really sex because it's invisible from the straight on view. So unlike a high leg slit or cut outs or something, there's no inkling that the dress is even meant to be sexy at all. It just look like a white strapless sheath. And then it's SO revealing from the side that it almost feels embarrassing, like you question if it fits her correctly because why would you want a dress that looks like it's just two strips of fabric pasted to your front and back? It's not sexy, it's not interesting, it's not flattering.

I saw an interview with her once where she was like “this ass looks pretty good for 50, right?” And she slapped herself on the butt. That’s what this dress is saying.

"Unflattering"? Wut. She looks amazing. What about it is unflattering?

He always looks like that but is particularly pasty here.

It looks a little softer in this picture; when I watched her on the red carpet, the top part looked very stiff and flat.

She looks gorgeous as it is. Everyone doesn't need or want implants.

+1

She's very pretty but her body looks like a young teen boy.

So? I'm also pretty flat chested and petite. I don't see what the problem is. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Also flat chested and I hate that dress. I think it’s because aesthetics is about balance and contrast so if you take an angular flat surfaced person and put them in an angular flat surfaced dress, it’s not visually pleasing. Something that creates more curve or movement would be more visually appealing. I’m not saying she needs falsies — just that something that is more fluid would look better. I actually don’t think that dress would look good on anyone though. Unfortunate because it’s otherwise a nice dress.

+1 and adding that the neckline hits the absolute widest part of her which is why it’s so bad.

All this Kelly Ripa bashing when Kirsten Dunst has the EXACT SAME neckline and an objectively worse dress. Why do this when you can wear anything?

Her ass doesn’t look that good, though. I actually like the stark simplicity of the front for a woman of a certain age. But the side view is tragic.

Posting a close up of this because the beadwork is so pretty. Originally I thought the collar and cuffs were just silver but it turns out they were a kind of aquamarine. I really love the combo with the gold and with her coloring.

Not PP but she’s another one who can wear anything, I can’t imagine choosing that color or the style which is aging on her.

It does look good for someone in their 50s who I suspect has not had plastic surgery done (I think this is a point of personal pride for her). But that doesn't mean the dress is flattering or that it is worthwhile for everyone to go look at her butt. She looks good for her age and also she has some age appropriate sagging and dimpling. No shame at all, I have the same (and also look good for my age!) but it's just going to invite people to comment on how her butt isn't good enough for this look. When in reality, this dress is only going to look good on a supermodel because of the amount of exposure. She's naked.
