Part one is HERE! All of our Academy Museum Gala coverage is HERE! LFG!

 

Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton

You have to admit, it would have been a boring dress if it had been lined. Instead, it’s just an ugly one.

 

Awkwafina in Georges Hobeika Couture
Pin

Pin

We like the skirt, but the top is overworked and kind of mumsy.

 

Christina Ricci in Fendi Couture
Pin

Pin

It’s gorgeous and interesting. We don’t even mind that it’s sheer because it’s giving us so much to look at besides that.

 

 

Danielle Brooks in Christian Siriano
Pin

Pin

The textile is really interesting, although we’re not convinced it photographs all that well. Could’ve done without the boob ruffle.

 

Dua Lipa in Chanel
Pin

Pin

Meh.

 

 

Elizabeth Banks in Dolce & Gabbana
Pin

Pin

You can’t accuse her of not dressing seasonally appropriate. She looks like a party decoration and that’s perfectly fine by us.

 

 

Fantasia Barrino in Dolce & Gabbana
Pin

Pin

It’s giving pure diva, but that exuberant collar needs to be balanced with a longer hem.

 

 

Greta Lee in Loewe
Pin

Pin

We’d like to have seen it without the pose, but from what we can tell, it looks pretty gorgeous on her.

 

Hari Nef in Mugler
Pin

Pin

The top looks like bandages and those hip cutouts are weird.

 

Jared Leto in Givenchy
Pin

Pin

Whatever, Discount Lestat.

 

Jennifer Connelly in Louis Vuitton
Pin

Pin

Love this. We don’t know if it’s meant to evoke strips of film, but if it is, it’s masterfully appropriate for the setting.

 

 

Keke Palmer in Monique Lhuillier
Pin

Pin

The dress is a little basic, but the color looks great on her and the styling is beautiful.

 

Meryl Streep
Pin

Pin

That’s about all Mary Louise is willing to give and we’re fine with that.

 

Natasha Lyonne in Miu Miu
Pin

Pin

The skirt is pretty, but we hate those overall straps.

 

Nicholas Galitzine in Fendi
Pin

Pin

The fit is terrible and that suit deserves a more interesting tie.

 

Niecy Nash-Betts in Tony Ward Couture
Pin

Pin

The textile is pretty, but the proportions are a little unbalanced; a lot going on up top, not enough on the bottom.

 

Olivia Wilde in Alexandre Vauthier
Pin

Pin

It’s a shame about the wrinkles, because this sort of Dracula’s Daughter vibe couldn’t be more perfect for her.

 

Samara Weaving in Valentino
Pin

Pin

The dress is very pretty. The earrings feel like overkill with it.

 

 

Selena Gomez in Valentino
Pin

Pin

So many heavy collars and necklines at this party. Honestly? We think this looks terrible.

 

Sheryl Lee Ralph in Christian Siriano
Pin

Pin

Simple but undeniable effective. That color sings on her.

 

 

Tracee Ellis Ross in Richard Quinn
Pin

Pin

It’s almost shockingly conventional for her, but we don’t mind it. That free-with-purchase bag is terrible, though.

 

Zooey Deschanel in Shushu/Tong
Pin

Pin

Even for her, this is a bit too precious.
