Yes! It's what I'm enjoying about so many of these looks actually. They are gorgeous dresses (mostly) and hair and stuff - but it doesn't look, by and large, like stuff that an ordinary person could never even dream of wearing. I really miss that era of red carpet dressing - where the slebs wore dresses that were really pretty versions of stuff you might see at an actual store.

Dress itself is lovely. It is from the Haute Couture S/S 1966 collection by Hubert de Givenchy.

In a release about the look, an archivist at Givenchy shared, "The dress is pale yellow silk with a hand-beaded bodice ... from the epic Givenchy Haute Couture/Audrey Hepburn era ... cne of the most important unions between a designer and muse."

Did Hepburn wea the dress? She had dark hair and more blue toned skin. Grande has more yellow toned Mediterranean skin plus the light reddish hair makes it all extremely washed out and sallow looking. A softer, fuller look on her hair might have helped balance it out a little. It’s a beautiful dress but wrong for her and badly styled here.

+1
Both Ariana Grande and Zendaya should not be wearing warm colors with their skin tones.

Zendaya can wear any tone she pleases.

The PP was talking about wearing colors that flatter. I known some don't believe on that but the concept is not discriminationatory. For example, I am a little darker than Zoe Saldana but with the same undertones, and never wear ivory, light beige, olive, for example. These colors look dead on me. Yes some believe now flattery and silhouette do not matter and anything goes, but I don’t.

DP but I think some of us just disagree that Zendaya looks bad in that bronze color. I like her in that dress. I agree with color theory generally and that sometimes certain colors are just wrong on certain people. But I loved her in the bronze dress. It worked for me.

Same. Amazing performances. I think it’s probably difficult for most people to understand.

Yes we must all be too uncultured to appreciate a woke spin on a 2,000 year old religion. Let’s see them try that with some other choice religions.

That you think Conclave has anything to do with “woke spin” illustrates my point. You don’t understand it at all.




My stunning looks:
Selena
Elle Fanning. I hate animal print. I don’t like pale on pale. But she is stunning in that Balmain
Mindy Kaling

Abby Elliott was so close for me, but the slit felt gratuitous. Otherwise a stunning look.

You paid a stylist for this?
Ariana- it’s the coloring. It’s just not for her.
Timothée Chalamet. Sir, you look like Edgar Allen Poe headed for a skating party and it’s disconcerting

This is all anyone pretty much has to say about Zendaya. Her acting talent is very mediocre.

Movie stars get measured by multiple metrics, not just acting talent/skill. There is also a charisma/magnetism metric (it factor), as well simply looking very good on film. I think Zendaya is middling on acting talent and skill, above average on charisma/magnetism, very high on looking gorgeous on film. Often with actors like that, they get better as they age because the charisma/magnetism never goes away but their skill as an actor improves with experience. Sadly, for women, they start to lose their on-screen looks due to societal expectations and they often don't get a chance to develop as an actor because they stop getting roles. Look at Demi Moore -- she finally got a super meaty role in her 60s after years of not having much at all to work with, and she knocked it out of the park. She had a different quality back at the start of her career than Zendaya has now, but about evenly matched in terms of acting skill (Demi had a habit of over-acting in her early roles, perhaps the result of coming up in soaps, while Zendaya has a tendency to under act but that's also very much the style of this era so she may just be giving directors what they want).

In any case, I can think of plenty of actors less deserving praise than Zendaya. The world needs movie stars and she is one. She's a better actor than Glen Powell (though his on-screen magnetism is through the roof).

That's a lot of words to make up for her marginal acting talent. She was a child star but doesn't seem to be excelling as an adult actress around much more talented women. A pretty face can only get you so far.

NP. Seems like she’s gotten pretty far.

Pretty far. But now she needs to act. This isn’t Americas Next Top Model.

She…is already acting. In all of the roles she’s being cast in. Are you unfamiliar with her?

Um yes? She didn’t win so many agree.

“Um yes” you’re unfamiliar with her? Explains a lot.

Why do you presume nobody knows her? She’s not an amazing actress. Sorry.

No. He’s just ridiculous.

I don’t hear y’all throwing a fit when Siriano throws a dress on Billy Porter.

I have zero issue with men wearing gowns but I also didn't like JVN here. It doesn't suit him. Billy Porter has put together these amazing looks that feel like he was born to wear those dresses. Whereas this looks like a prank don for attention.

NP. Seems like she’s gotten pretty far.

Two Emmy awards and a Golden Globe, plus nominations, and working with top-tier filmmakers. She's way ahead of her peers. I think she's solid not exceptional, agree with PP she has little competition. Except for Saoirse Ronan, who is only two years older than her, but reads as more mature. Same with Florence Pugh, who is only one year older. I don't think Zendaya is in their league, at least not yet. Sophie Thatcher of Yellowjackets is one to watch, but can't really think of anyone else. Julia Garner, but she hasn't done much since Ozark.

Well Mikey Madison now too. Will be interesting to see what she does after Anora. I could see she and Zendaya competing for similar roles.

I find Mikey Madison unbelievably GRATING.[/quote

Do you mean in Anora, or in interviews? Because I'd say she's the opposite of grating in interviews.

I totally agree, Anora was a great CHARACTER.
