Andrew Garfield Monica Barbaro Wimbledon

Andrew Garfield & Monica Barbaro watched women’s tennis at Wimbledon

I spent the July 4th holiday weekend watching Wimbledon, which is pretty chaotic this year as far as top players losing early. I have no predictions for the finals, but I have my fingers crossed for Amanda Anisimova. Anyway, over the weekend, tons of celebrities came out for tennis. Two of those celebrities? Oscar-nominated actors Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro. They started dating earlier this year, just as Barbaro was getting tons of (well-earned) hype for playing Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown. It would not surprise me at all if they started up last year.

So, Garfield took his girlfriend to watch some tennis. They coordinated in white Ralph Lauren ensembles – RL is a major sponsor of Wimbledon, and RL often dresses celebrities for their Wimbledon appearances. Andrew and Monica watched the tennis on Centre Court, but they were not seated in the Royal Box. Did Andrew just buy regular tickets, I wonder. Or maybe the tickets were comped by Ralph Lauren. The Royal Box is invitation-only by the All-England club. Also: they had great taste in tennis matches! Centre Court’s matches yesterday were excellent – Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova v. Sonay Kartal (which Garfield and Barbaro were seated for), Sabalenka v. Mertens and Carlos Alcaraz v. Andrey Rublev. Great day to have Centre Court tickets.

Anyway, do you think Garfield and Barbaro are built to last? Garfield seems to only date women for about a year and then he moves on. But maybe Barbaro is the one! I doubt it, but they look nice together.

Fashion julianne hough Monica Barbaro Oscars Rachel Zegler

Did Monica Barbaro get the best Dior look of the 2025 Oscars?

In the olden days, Dior would only dress one or two women for the Oscars and Dior was really selective about it. They’ve loosened up a lot, and they ended up dressing two major nominees, one presenter and one of the red-carpet hosts. Mikey Madison got the most-seen Dior look of the night – a pale pink and black look which I did not care for. But for my money, Dior gave Monica Barbaro a much better dress – this is really stunning and I sort of wish Mikey and Monica had switched dresses. Monica also looks so much like Original Kylie Jenner, I have been doing double-takes all awards season. I wonder if Timothee Chalamet has as well. Also: pale pink was definitely one of the colors of the night, so Monica was definitely on-trend.

Rachel Zegler also got a Dior look, which… eh. I mean, she’s a Disney princess, right? Because she’s Snow White in the live-action film. That’s what this was – some Disney princess vibes.

Julianne Hough’s Dior was nice. It was simple and even rather elegant. I wish it wasn’t this blah beige ombre, but whatever. It’s fine.

Cristin Milioti Fashion Monica Barbaro Nicola Coughlan Pamela Anderson SAGs

Who had the best Dior look at the SAGs: Nicola Coughlan or Monica Barbaro?

This post is for all of the ladies in Dior at last night’s SAG Awards. I’m usually such a Dior-hater for award shows, but I have to admit… Dior did the thing for the SAGs. All of the women they dressed looked amazing, and these are some of my picks for best-dressed of the show. Nicola Coughlan, a short queen, wore a very vintage-inspired look which looked great on her. I could have done without the gloves, honestly, but this was lovely and I’m so happy that Dior dressed her!

Monica Barbaro got a fantastic Dior – she’s really having a moment during this awards season, and she’s actually dating Andrew Garfield now. Every time I see her seated at the same table as Timothee Chalamet, I do a double-take because she looks so much like Kylie Jenner too.

Cristin Milioti got a great Dior look too. She’s getting so much attention because of The Penguin (which I never started, but I heard she was great in it).

And finally, Pamela Anderson also wore Dior. She’s worn a lot of soft-cream and winter-white looks this year and she’s still doing the no-makeup or minimal-makeup look.

BAFTAs Fashion Felicity Jones Letitia Wright Mikey Madison Monica Barbaro

Mikey Madison wore Prada & took home the Best Actress BAFTA for ‘Anora’

The BAFTAs were held last night in London. They were obviously not attended by the BAFTA president, who is currently on vacation in Mustique. The BAFTAs shook up the race a little bit, but honestly, this has been one of the weirdest awards seasons I’ve ever seen. Two weekends ago, Sean Baker’s Anora won two major Best Picture guild awards at the PGAs and DGAs. At the BAFTAs, Conclave took home Best Film, but Anora herself won a BAFTA – Mikey Madison won Best Actress. She wore a custom Prada to the BAFTAs – she’s worn a lot of Prada throughout the awards season, with mixed-to-bad results. I found this look to be very plain, like the simplest wedding gown on offer.

In her BAFTA speech – and remember, this is the first major award Mikey has won for Anora – she acknowledged sex workers, saying in part: “I do want to just take a moment to recognize the sex worker community. I just want to say that I see you. You deserve respect and human decency. I will always be a friend and ally.” She also thanked her fellow nominees, saying she was “in awe” of them. I still think Demi Moore is the frontrunner in the Best Actress Oscar race, but Mikey’s win is definitely interesting.

More photos from the BAFTAs – Letitia Wright also wore Prada. This is lovely. She has a years-long association with Prada and it’s been sort of a mixed bag, but I love this. My one complaint is the same thing I always say about Prada: the boob darts have to go.

Felicity Jones wore a custom Armani Prive. Back in the day, I always wanted Felicity to be more of a fashion girl, but it never really came together. I think she enjoys fashion and enjoys getting dressed up for these awards shows, but she didn’t really know how to do it in her 20s. Now that she’s more mature, she understands that she can pull off these very sleek looks. She looks great, what else can I say? I love high-quality velvet on the red carpet.

Monica Barbaro continues her “a star is born” trajectory, wearing an Armani which looks like something Bob Mackie would have made for Cher. I’m saying that as a compliment, I think.

Critics' Choice Fashion Monica Barbaro Naomi Watts Nicole Kidman Zoe Saldana

Nicole Kidman wore a Saint Laurent pantsuit at the Critics Choice: surprisingly good?

Nicole Kidman, like Angelina Jolie, might not be seen for the rest of the awards season. Nicole also got “snubbed” for SAG, BAFTA and Oscar nominations, so the Critics Choice Awards were possibly the last time we’d see her. What a final appearance though – she wore a fresh-off-the-runway look from Saint Laurent, a baggy pantsuit basically. My first reaction was “nah?” But it’s grown on me, and now I sort of love that she mixed it up. Her hair and makeup look great here as well.

Zoe Saldana also wore Saint Laurent, but we’ll be seeing more of her throughout the season. Zoe picked up the Critics Choice Award for supporting actress for Emilia Perez. The votes were mostly cast before Karla Sofia Gascon’s tweet-history mess, and this is one category which I could see a major “surprise” come Oscar night. As for her dress… it’s fine. It’s not actively bad. It does feel like a lot of women sort of phoned it in, style-wise, at the CCAs.

Naomi Watts wore one of the most hilariously bad looks I’ve ever seen from her. This is Prada, and at least it was “on trend” – a lot of women are wearing super-structural gowns and dresses right now, especially with this kind of terrible business around the waist and hips.

Monica Barbaro also wore Prada – a custom piece. It’s fine for the CCAs.

Anna Sawai Anya Taylor-Joy Fashion Golden Girls Monica Barbaro

Anya Taylor Joy stunned in pink Dior, with Tiffany & Co jewels, at the 2025 Globes

People legitimately gasped when Anya Taylor Joy turned up on the Golden Globes red carpet. She just looked so other-worldly, and she also looked like a throwback to Old Hollywood. Dior made Anya a slinky, pale pink bias-cut slipdress. The real stars of the look were the Tiffany & Co necklace and the matching wrap. Bring back wraps on the red carpet! Bring back pashminas! Anya reps Dior and Tiffany & Co, and you can really see why those brands love her.

Speaking of pretty princesses, Anna Sawai also got to wear a special Dior look. Dior kept it simple for Anna with this white two-piece gown. With that immaculate face, designers don’t have to do too much, you know? They can keep everything so basic to let her shine. The choker was an interesting choice, but I like it. She was so happy with her win for Shogun.

Monica Barbaro’s dress was honestly my favorite Dior of the Globes. Again, I like the simplicity of Dior’s designs for the younger ladies, they’re not doing too much or putting younger women in fussy, overdone ballgowns. Monica is getting a lot of well-deserved attention for her turn as Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.
