The ladies of The Gilded Age – plus Hot Beard, of course – ditched their bustles and corsets and got into some seriously dazzling fits for a screening of season 3.
Slacking off was clearly not on the menu and they’re all deploying the Dockery Maneuver, which is what we call it when the star of a period project dresses to remind you that she is modern and hot and totally not the character she plays.
Cynthia Nixon
This is fabulous; bold and eye-catching, with an elegant sweep and drape to it. Sure, maybe it’ll cause a migraine if we stare at it too long, but it’s refreshing to see such a busy print on a red carpet.
Carrie Coon
Hair and makeup look great. The dress is plain, but it has a restrained chicness to it. It needs more aggressive styling, we think. A shoe with a little sparkle, a cuff, a pendant; things of that nature.
Louisa Jacobson in Khaite
That is just about the ultimate in Dockery Maneuvers. We may have to rename it the Jacobson Ploy or something like that. Believe it or not, we’re not actually mad at this, despite whining about sheer dresses for so long. The top half of it is genuinely interesting. The skirt feels a bit unresolved in the design, however.
Denée Benton
That’s a great skirt, but the top half isn’t doing much and those shoes look wrong with it.
Christine Baranski
All of the pieces look great and are perfectly suited to her, but we’re not sure the shoes work with black pants. They come off too much like sneakers.
Morgan Spector
The white stripe on the pants is distracting and the footwear choice feels like a missed opportunity to do something interesting, but we really like this look. The jacket is gorgeous.
Audra McDonald
We’re very tired of the feathery skirts but we like that top a lot.
