Bradley Cooper put on his filmmaker hat again, co-wrote a movie with Will Arnett, cast him as the lead and directed it. Now, the cast of Is This Thing On? has hit the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival premiere. There. You’re all caught up. Now let’s be bitches.

It’s serious, sober, film director style and we think it’s boring, but we don’t think it’s uncalled-for here. It’s fine. Moving on.

That is the look of a woman with regrets. That is the facial expression of someone who just realized they’re wearing an arrow that points to their crotch. Get yourself back into some paisley and flowy Boho shit, girl. It’s waiting for you.

We were going to make a bunch of cracks about how he looks like he hates being there, but he also looks genuinely uncomfortable, so we’ll leave it. Get yourself some posing lessons, Will. If your stylist won’t help you out, your local drag queen will. And we’re not even being a little funny about that. Anyway, it’s a gorgeous suit, beautiful watch, but the overall effect isn’t that great because he comes off sloppy and uncomfortable. Hem the pants, button the jacket and pretend everyone these is happy to see you.

Elmo loves you, but we probably wouldn’t love this dress on anyone else. She can make it work, but the muppetry of it all might overwhelm any other wearer. From a design perspective, the sleeves seem unresolved. Still, she looks gorgeous.
