School of Frock: Zoe Saldana a true guardian of style
Zoe Saldana remained a true guardian of style during a week of goofy red carpetry
ZOE SALDANA (A-)
Premiere of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 in London
Dress: Ulyana Sergeenko
Shoes: Gianvito Rossi
You'll hardly catch me gushing over LBDs, but at least this one has a Morticia Addams-meets-space queen twist - and works through the sheer power of Saldana. Love or loathe the bust cups, draped mesh sleeves and sculptural strangeness, I'm firmly in the former camp.
DEMI LOVATO (B)
Time 100 Gala in New York
Gown: Zuhair Murad
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik
Wonderful improvements have been made of late when it comes to Lovato's increasingly feminine style, and this is another example. The colour, shape and fit are great on her, but I wish she would tone down in the boobage department and lay off the tan as they detract from the overall elegance.
JAIME KING (D)
Marie Claire's Fresh Faces event in Los Angeles
Outfit: Johanna Ortiz
Kimono-inspired trends have never looked worse, and my eyes have never strained more.
This is so crazy, even Harley Quinn would know to stay away.
JANELLE MONAE (D-)
Marie Claire's Fresh Faces event in Los Angeles
Dress: Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh
Clutch: Edie Parker
Shoes: Schutz
Monae has evidently dropped the ball now that she doesn't have to plug Hidden Figures any more, but this much ugly is unjustifiable. You'd think she was at a recycling drive, judging from the random scraps of clashing fabrics stitched together. And didn't the "T-shirt under a dress" thing die off in the 90s?
REBECCA HALL (F)
Premiere of The Dinner in New York
Dress and shoes: Gabriela Hearst
Is this a hostage situation? Did she hit her head recently? Or maybe she lost a bet?
When faced with an ivory velvet dress with the droopiest, most unfortunate neckline in history, inconceivably paired with black hooves for shoes and a sheer turtleneck, perhaps the answer is all of the above.
You just feel pity.
