Arbitrary red carpet rundown, darlings! It’s like this: When a major red carpet event like the Academy Museum Gala happens, we don’t like to just do one massive rundown of the whole thing. For one, you need a slideshow feature for that and it doesn’t work with the design of our site. For another, it’s the standard way of covering red carpets in entertainment and fashion media and your boys just hate to be “standard” about anything. And finally, this is a very busy time of year and we want to make sure all of our daily coverage touches on at least some of the other events happening. The only reason we’re explaining this is because “Colors!” is kind of a dumb fashion category but the best way to cover a large event is to start grouping according to theme. So this isn’t a trend piece and you’ll see that these are far from the only colorful pieces at the event. All right, enough inside baseball. Put your judging pants on.
Chase Infiniti in Louis Vuitton
She looks gorgeous and that’s a genuinely interesting design. We go back and forth on the color and dye process, but we’re inclined to give both a thumbs-up just by virtue of needing to wrestle with it for a second.
Leslie Bibb in Carolina Herrera
This is a gorgeous color on her and the fit is superb. We tend to hate side cutouts, but she can work them. Our problem is with the bathing suit neckline and straps. We feel like she could have been a little more aggressive with the jewelry.
Lucy Liu in Miss Sohee
Our first impulse is to be a little bitchy about this, but it’s cute and fun. But the bodice is way too tight and we don’t think a dress this vivid in hue should be paired with ten pounds of colorful gems.
Quinta Brunson in Carolina Herrera
Just flawless: fit, color, accessorizing, Boop hair — it’s all so perfectly suited to her.
Rachel Sennott in Balenciaga
This isn’t working for us. It would seem to have been designed to be worn this casually and disheveled, but we’re not entirely convinced the design works. It doesn’t help that it’s ill fitted. If the collar, shoulders and cuffs all hit where they’re supposed to, we could see it working, but it also needs a pendant.
Rachel Zegler in Tamara Ralph
Every ingenue needs her Marilyn Moment at least once. It’s gorgeous on her, if not particularly fresh. While that hem looks pinned up, we actually like the length here, but we think it requires pumps.
Regina Hall in Cong Tri
That’s a really tough color to pull off. We can’t say she’s not doing it, but we think this dress would look fantastic on her in black. It sits a little low, however. Another decolletage crying out for the pendant it so clearly needs.
Tessa Thompson in Carolina Herrera
It’s got that rare red carpet quality of being pretty and strange at the same time. The black touches were smart and they lend the look a seriousness it wouldn’t otherwise have.
Zoey Deutch in Zac Posen
Can’t argue with that dress, but — say it with us now — it needs a pendant. A small one, to be sure, but that necklace doesn’t work with a halter.
