Posted on January 09, 2026

A whole bunch of stars came out for the Louis Vuitton and W Magazine-hosted Intimate Awards Dinner, which is, we presume, not about handing out awards for intimacy but is about hosting stars intimately during awards season. Whatever the case, it’s a really dumb name for an event. Let’s take out our frustrations on the attendees.

Hello, 2003. This is cute but it looks pretty dated to us. Maybe this is the Gen X in us speaking, but we feel like a pair of kickass shoes were called for here rather than those elegantly neutral sandals. In related news, we’ve noticed that manis and pedis are trending down lately. You see less and less color on hands and feet right now.

This is a strange getup, which makes it somewhat perfect for her because she’s a little weirdo. We think the top and the jacket would be better off if they weren’t fighting each other for attention.

 

Chase Infiniti

Love it. We definitely understand switching the hair up as it suits her, but this is probably the least interesting hairstyle she’s sported all season.

 

Da’Vine Joy Randolph

While we don’t think this color makes the best choice for her, the design, fit and styling are all spectacular.

 

Elle Fanning

Girl, what the hell happened to your dress? And why are you wearing it with those shoes?

 

Emma Stone

Cult leader.

 

Erin Doherty

This is fine, if a little underwhelming. We are very upset that square-toed shoes are back.

 

Hannah Einbinder

That’s a great jacket and this would have looked so much better with boots.

 

Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas
Pin

Evil cult leader.

 

Jaden Smith

It’s all a bit much – the print’s kind of ugly, the pieces are overdesigned, and we’re not convinced those shitkickers work with it – but it’s well suited to him and it’s not boring. It is us or has he not aged at all over the last decade? You’d never know he was closing in on thirty.

 

Jennifer Connelly

Only she could make this work. We’re surprised by how well those colors work together.

 

Joel Edgerton
Pin

We’re not mad at it because that jacket’s gorgeous and the whole look suits him well.

 

Kate Hudson
Pin

You can tell who’s up for awards consideration in this crowd. This is really great. Turns out, she’s well suited to a business dom vibe.

 

Katherine LaNasa
Pin

It’s probably fine, but it sure isn’t photogenic.

 

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys

This whole crowd is working such a late ’90s/early aughts vibe. The proportions on his outfit are terrible and the styles don’t suit him. She’s actually making that getup work for her. although the sleeves situation is a little weird.

 

Regina King
Pin

This all feels like a very aggressive attempt to style up these pieces so they don’t look like Nana wear. Love the hair, makeup and shades, but this outfit just isn’t working.

 

Renate Reinsve
Pin

What a bizarrely confused set of choices.

 

Rhea Seehorn
Pin

The pants are kind of fun, but the top is giving salon smock.

 

Teyana Taylor
Pin

We can’t tell if she landed one of the best ensembles or if she’s just very good at making these wacky styles look good, but either way, she’s crushing it here. She just needs a hem job and to get rid of that weird tail thing.

 

Wunmi Mosaku

This is fantastic, but we hate those boots.
