Cynthia Nixon, Louisa Jacobson, Denée Benton and Audra McDonald at THE GILDED AGE Season 2 TV Academy FYC Event

The ladies of The Gilded Age came out to LA for the Academy-sponsored FYC event and perhaps to no one’s surprise, they turned it out for the occasion. Please try to temper your disappointment that Carrie Coon and Christine Baranski are nowhere to be found in these pictures. We were sad too, but we consoled ourselves by judging everyone’s outfits.

Cynthia’s look is genuinely fantastic on her. See? We don’t hate neutrals. And we apparently don’t hate tricky skirts and fringe as much as we claim, because we’re not feeling the need to rail against them here. Don’t get us wrong, the fringed netting is kind of awful, but the rest of the outfit looks great on her. The coat finishes it off beautifully.

Audra kept things super professional and low key. She looks fine, but she’s being overshadowed by the other ladies. A colorful top might have helped, but a colorful suit would have helped even more.

This is pretty damn dazzling. At first glance, we wondered if it wasn’t a bit over the top for an event like this one, which tends to have a more profesh vibe. It’s a gorgeous design and the skin-baring aspects are very subtle on her, but at the risk of sounding like prudes, we don’t think this was a free-the-nip kind of venue. But she looks stunning and we’d have loved this on a red carpet.

Girl, fire your makeup artist. You look positively clammy. That top is interesting and could be pretty, but we think it needs a very plain and neutral bra or bralette underneath it. This one is interfering with the look. We hate it with the white jeans, though.
