School of Frock: December 18 edition
Awards season has officially kicked off, which essentially means Hollywood needs to do way better than this on the red carpet
NICOLE KIDMAN (A-)
Critics' Choice Awards in Los Angeles
Gown: Brandon Maxwell
Shoes: Gianvito Rossi
Remember how stunning and regal Kidman was on the red carpet when she was married to Tom Cruise? That glam head-turner has been MIA - until now. This is a long overdue return to form and a nice shot of nostalgia.
MICHELLE MONAGHAN (C+)
Critics' Choice Awards in Los Angeles
Top and pants: Monique Lhuillier
See-through chiffon palazzo pants are pure insanity. And this "business on top, party at the bottom" get-up might as well be a personal ad for "new widow looking for action at funeral".
KELLY ROWLAND (C-)
Premiere of Office Christmas Party in Los Angeles
Gown: Chloe
Shoes: Tom Ford
Her multicoloured ink blot boho frock is a festive dream or a garish nightmare, depending on your love for Crayola and threshold for migraines.
HALSEY (D)
Billboard Women in Music event in New York City
Dress and coat: August Getty
Clutch: Charlotte Olympia
Shoes: Tamara Mellon
It's my job to rip bad outfits to shreds, but Halsey has apparently gone ahead and done it for me quite literally.
RITA ORA (F)
Billboard Women in Music event in New York City
Dress: Temperley London
'Tis the season for next-level Ora hot mess madness. Metallics are great, but I think a rack of Christmas gift wrapping paper AND a carton of tinsel just threw up on her.
