Well, we're all allowed our opinions and mine is that her dress was easily one of the best of the night. And that has nothing to do with whether I like Jennifer Garner or not, just that she looked impeccable from head to toe. |
Next up! JLaw. I know she's already been discussed in this thread, but let's revisit:
Look, just as with Emma Stone, just huge, huge props here to Jennifer and her trainer because, damn. And it occurs to me that both these ladies were fairly recently and publicly pregnant, and this is a way for them to announce to their extremely image-conscious industry that they did the thing and "snapped back" just like they were supposed to. And also, this is not a dress. It's not even a figure skater costume. This feels frankly risqué for wedding night lingerie. Her hair and makeup is flawless though. I love these bangs on her and I want a step by step tutorial on her eye makeup -- the combo is great. But also that weird stole thing looks dumb and, given how freaking naked she is, also comical. Like, oh don't worry, I'll cover up! I brought the world's shortest bolero jacket but will just dangle it from my wrists so that it covers part of my butt crack. Perfect. |
In the "Babes Who Nailed It" category, I'd like to start off with a personal favorite, Kiki Dunst. And I'm gonna give you the back first because... hot damn.
But also the color is stunning and she still looks like herself, this is so simple and chic:

I loved Emma Stone's ensemble. It looks blocky and strange from the front, but the side and rear views are great. The top has some interest under the arms which isn't noticeable until she turns. And I absolutely love her hair - the bob is that perfect slightly messy style that I can never achieve on myself.

Another babe nailing it: Renate Reinsve. This *might* be my favorite dress of the night. Also, see Sentimental Value, she's so good -- such a commanding presence onscreen even when she's being completely vulnerable. Wow.
Still:
In motion:

Yes, just gorgeous except straight on where it looks very stupid. |
|
Chase Infiniti in a quirky high fashion look that works, IMO. Shocked to realize this is Louis Vuitton. Right dress, right girl.
Also she's fantastic in One Battle After Another, holds her own next to Leo. Sorry I originally thought you were a new credit card rewards plan, Chase! Looking forward to seeing her in more things.
|
Sarah Snook, also nailing it. When I saw her in this dress, I could *feel* the moment she tried this on with the stylist and they both went, "yup." I know some people will find it a bit matronly and lace too much, but I feel like this dress was made for her and that it wouldn't look right on most other actresses. Also her hair looks amazing:
|
Ok, my other fave along with Renate. Rose Byrne in a Chanel that doesn't feel like every other freaking Chanel. This color is magic. I'm really feeling green for 2026, and this one feels hard to wear and yet she looks perfect. Glad she won in it because now it can be iconic.
|
I think it would have looked better if it wasn’t a belly baring two piece and instead it was a proper gown with that stiff architectural piece worn on top of the full length gown. Better yet: different color. |
Wow, that is a hideous dress. |
The color is my favorite thing about it. |
It looks like a broken Christmas ornament. |
I do not love this hair style and length on anyone really. |
