Katie Holmes wore Prada at the Tony Awards: one of the worst looks of the night?

katie-holmes-wore-prada-at-the-tony-awards:-one-of-the-worst-looks-of-the-night?

This is nowhere near a comprehensive fashion list for last night’s Tony Awards, I’m just trying to highlight some of the best or worst fashion moments from people I recognized! I covered George Clooney’s appearance separately – go here to see. Katie Holmes went to the Tonys in this two-piece Prada ensemble. In my opinion, the house of Prada has issues and this is a glaring example of those issues. They have color issues – they put funky colors together and when they do bicolor or tricolor looks, it’s always jarring. The top part of this is also just… awful, it’s like a wrinkled sack.

Nicole Scherzinger surprised everyone by winning her first Tony Award for Sunset Boulevard, beating out Audra McDonald in Gypsy. It was also a surprise because Nicole’s time on Broadway has been marred by some off-Broadway gossip, like her coziness with MAGA. She wore a custom Rodarte, which looked lovely (albeit slightly dated).

Cynthia Erivo was the Tonys host, and she had a lot of outfit changes. She wore this Schiaparelli look for the red carpet. Eh.

Sarah Snook won her first Tony! Her gown was Richard Quinn.

Michelle Williams wore Bibhu Mohapatra – I LOVE the skirt. I feel like the top could have been different?

Sarah Paulson wore Schiaparelli as well – this is so “1950s.”

Bonus Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Keanu practically got a lapdance from Jonathan Groff!

Cynthia Erivo FKA Twigs Jeff Goldblum Lewis Hamilton Met Gala Savannah James

Did Cynthia Erivo’s Givenchy kind of muddle the Met Gala theme?

did-cynthia-erivo’s-givenchy-kind-of-muddle-the-met-gala-theme?

Cynthia Erivo was one of the few people – if not the only person? – in Givenchy at the 2025 Met Gala. Black Dandyism, “superfine” tailoring… I thought Cynthia would nail the theme. I can’t say that she really did though. I feel like some fashionistas have this issue where they really overthink the theme, to the point where their look just seems sort of muddled?

I knew Lewis Hamilton would really bring it as one of this year’s Met Gala co-chairs and he did. I would even say that he was the best-dressed co-chair, honestly. Lewis wore Grace Wales Bonner, with some spectacular Briony Raymond jewelry. The suit is gorgeous, with fantastic detailing, but the jewelry really makes the look. Absolute perfection.

FKA Twigs wore Grace Wales Bonner as well. This was very flapper/Harlem Renaissance.

Jeff Goldblum was also in Wales Bonner. I said last night that he was the only white man who totally nailed the theme, and someone remarked that he probably had plenty of on-theme looks already in his closet. He 100% understood the assignment.

LeBron James was supposed to be the big-name Met Gala co-chair, but he has a significant knee injury and he ended up pulling out of the event at the last minute. His wife Savannah James went in his place – she wore Hanifa. It’s a bold look, but I’m kind of meh on it. It would have been amazing to see LeBron there.

Demi Moore is reportedly ‘heartbroken’ & taking the Oscar loss ‘very hard’

demi-moore-is-reportedly-‘heartbroken’-&-taking-the-oscar-loss-‘very-hard’

As I said on Oscar night, I didn’t want Demi Moore to win the Best Actress Oscar, but I was still sad that she lost. She had a great “comeback” story, a great “it’s her time, after decades in the industry” story. I give her a lot of credit for changing into this Gucci dress and still going out to party post-Oscars. Demi is old-school – never let the f–kers see you down. Never give them the satisfaction. That being said, Demi had a great awards-season run, picking up a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics Choice. She’s fine, according to me. According to Page Six, Demi is heartbroken though. A source told the outlet that Demi “can’t help but feel heartbroken” and “Demi is taking this loss very hard because she felt like this was finally her chance to take home an Academy Award… [but she] is thrilled for Mikey and all the other women who were nominated for this award. But of course, it was a huge disappointment not hearing her name be called.” I hope she’s not this upset, and as I said, she still went out and partied and enjoyed herself.

More photos from the VF Oscar party… Mikey Madison wore a simple black gown to the VF party – I’m so happy for her win, but I desperately need her to give up the satin and taffeta, OMFG.

Lupita Nyong’o wore Chanel – kind of boring, actually.

Selena Gomez in a custom Armani for the VF party – I love this, she looked so great everywhere on Sunday.

Cynthia Erivo is one of the few women who prioritized comfort at the parties.

Lindsay Lohan and her husband Bader. Her dress is Balenciaga, and I always love the combination of white dress emeralds. I hope she’s healthy and doing well.

ariana grande Cynthia Erivo Fashion Oscars

Ariana Grande wore two Schiaparelli gowns for the Oscars: which was better?

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo surprisingly opened up the Oscars, singing a medley of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” “Home” and “Defying Gravity.” They both sang their asses off, but I did feel like it was a quick admission that Wicked was not going to win many Oscars – the film ended up winning for Costume Design and Production Design and nothing else. The one good thing that has come out of the years-long Wicked promotion is that Ariana and Cynthia are absolutely besties. You can’t fake that closeness for this long – they love each other dearly, and the shot of Ariana watching Cynthia sing is iconic.

Fashion-wise… well… much to say. Ari and Cynthia’s red carpet looks were not my taste. Ari wore Schiaparelli, a structural lampshade in a pale cream/pink, basically. Cynthia wore Louis Vuitton, a custom look in a rich, dark green velvet. I much preferred their performance ensembles – Cynthia wore a gorgeous Vivienne Westwood gown, and Ari wore a custom Schiaparelli in ruby-red, with a “ruby slipper” worked into the design at the back. As if Ariana’s whole dress was the ruby slipper. This was the first time Ariana has worn red or burgundy for anything involving Wicked, correct? Her awards season has been dominated by pinks and creams. The Westwood look was also a rare lighter ensemble for Cynthia.

ariana grande Cynthia Erivo Elle Fanning Fashion Jamie Lee Curtis SAGs

Ariana Grande wore a custom Loewe to the SAG Awards: lovely or basic?

Ariana Grande has not won anything for Wicked, but she has been nominated across the board. I sort of wanted to see her win one thing, because I’m sure her speech would have been funny and tearful. But instead, she’s had to watch Zoe Saldana pick up all of the supporting-actress awards for Emilia Perez. At last night’s SAGs, Ari wore a custom Loewe. I honestly can’t get a handle on Loewe and what a “typical Loewe look” really is, because this just looks like Elie Saab to me. Ari was poorly advised to go through the awards season with this washed-out blonde shade too.

Ari’s on-screen partner Cynthia Erivo wore a spectacular vintage Givenchy to the show. I loved this, I loved how over-the-top it was.

Elle Fanning also wore Loewe, and once again, I’m asking… what is it with Loewe? She paired her look with a Cartier necklace.

ariana grande BAFTAs Cynthia Erivo Fashion Saoirse Ronan

Who had the best Louis Vuitton look at the BAFTAs: Ariana, Saoirse or Cynthia?

who-had-the-best-louis-vuitton-look-at-the-baftas:-ariana,-saoirse-or-cynthia?

Louis Vuitton dressed three prominent nominees for last night’s BAFTAs – Cynthia Erivo and Saoirse Ronan in the lead actress category, and Ariana Grande in supporting. Ronan wearing LV is not a surprise – she became an LV ambassador last year, I think? But it’s interesting that both Ari and Cynthia wore LV and yet it didn’t feel like they coordinated at all. If you ask me, LV gave their ambassador the best dress, and the house did Ari and Cynthia dirty. In any case, all three women lost in their respective categories.

Saoirse looked absolutely perfect in this dress with a matching cape/jacket/wrap. This ice-blue can be tricky on many pale women, but they got the tone just right, and Saoirse paired it with a bright lipstick so she didn’t look washed out. She just looks so elegant and regal. It helps that she’s married to certified hottie Jack Lowden too.

As for Cynthia and Ari… yeah, not their best looks of the awards season. I’m actually really mad that LV did this to Cynthia. Sure, she’s been wearing some offbeat styles, but the structured breastplate doesn’t take away from the ghastly bottom of the dress. Ari’s dress isn’t really to my taste, but I’m not mad about it. I just think it’s too much fabric for such a petite woman and the peachy pink mess doesn’t “go” with the sleek black top.

ariana grande Critics' Choice Cynthia Erivo Fashion Hannah Einbinder Natasha Lyonne Rachel Brosnahan

Cynthia Erivo wore Armani & Ariana Grande wore a wicker basket to the Critics Choice

cynthia-erivo-wore-armani-&-ariana-grande-wore-a-wicker-basket-to-the-critics-choice

Cynthia Erivo has been nominated for tons of awards and she’s been in tons of awards seasons. But it feels like this is the first time where she’s really gotten this kind of attention, this kind of hype, and she’s been in the center of a major hit movie? What’s nice about that is Cynthia has really met the moment. I’ve said this before, but I expected Wicked’s promotion and awards season to be messy, because both Cynthia and Ariana had reputations for being a bit prickly or not very easy-going. But they’ve both surprised me so much. Cynthia has been full of grace, good humor and professionalism, as has Ariana. Anyway, Cynthia wore Armani to the Critics Choice Awards – while she didn’t win, she looked great and I loved seeing her in a sleek look like this.

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande went for a completely bonkers Dior look at the CCAs. It’s wicker basket couture, y’all. It’s terrible but also really funny. I hope she had fun.

Speaking of weird structural garments – which are on-trend currently – Hannah Einbinder wore this custom Louis Vuitton. SO BAD.

Rachel Brosnahan in custom Miu Miu. Like… I did NOT know Lois Lane had all of that going on. Very sexy look.

Natasha Lyonne wore Saint Laurent. I love her, she’s so funny.
