Critics Choice nominee Zoe Kazan was in Valentino. She was nominated in the Best Actress in a Comedy for The Big Sick, which went to Margot Robbie for I, Tonya. (Incidentally The Big Sick did win last night for Best Comedy, which is promising. I hope it gets nominated for an Oscar but given the fact that it was just snubbed in the DGA nominations, it’s doubtful.) Her styling fits the look a little too well I’ll just say that. Those yellow lace sleeves have to go, as do the thick lines of lace across the front. It’s like someone took a simple polka dot dress and tried to make it look “adult” and dressy with features that don’t mesh with the rest of the design. The layer underneath has flowers on it, which makes no sense either.
Natalia Dyer of Stranger Things was in sequin floral Erdem with a rhinestone overlay and even though this dress is fussy and girly I think it works. The dress sticks to that one theme and while it has some added details they all match with the intent of the design.
Madeline Brewer from Handmaid’s Tale had on an Elizabeth Kennedy dress with a gray bustier and a bronze metallic skirt. I barely recognized her with red hair, her character Ofwarren has brown hair, and without the eyepatch. She’s gorgeous and so is this dress. I love the red velvet around the waist too. Oh and The Handmaid’s Tale won Best Drama Series.
Here’s forever nominee Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) in Mary Katrantzou. This is fun but weird. I don’t think I’ve seen multicolor stripes on a dress confined to just one area. Like how do designers come up with dresses like this? “Let’s make a red sequin dress with butterfly rhinestones along the collar and stripes from the neck leading down to half sleeves. Oh and the stripes should be glittery too.” All that said, this is kind of cute and whimsical. I think she’s pulling it off. Also: did you know Tatiana Maslany is Canadian? I just checked her wiki. For years I thought she was British, but sadly I do not watch Orphan Black (yet, I may lose a week to it at some point).

At least Zoe’s dress is just modern enough not to qualify as Civil War Ghost Bullshit, as my best friend and I call it.
Natalia’s style has been intriguing me for a while now. I didn’t really take her for a Fashion girl, but I think I may be wrong. Lovely gown and shoes.
When are pretty dresses coming back?
No love for these dresses and hoping Zoes hair is for a role because it’s does nothing for her skin tone! Love Tatiana tho <3
These dresses are just more examples of how hideous fashion has become
The hair and eyebrows are just too harsh, they don’t do anything for her skin tone.
Tatiana should win everything, always, she’s amazing, and I hope she gets lots of meaty work now that Orphan is coming to an end *sobs*
It’s a crime how unrecognized Tatiana’s been by the awards shows for her amazing work the last five seasons. I can only think that it’s because the show is science fiction reviewers look their nose down at it.
I always wondered if she and the show got snubbed because it is Canadian produced. Whatever the reason it is a damn shame because she is phenomenal and deserves recognition. The way she crafted all of her characters is genius and while I’m watching I genuinely forget the clones are all her…I should probably take off my fan girl hat now, lol
The DGA’s have no correlation with Oscars except for the directors.The Big Sick got a WGA nom which is more of tell than DGA. The Big Sick also got a SAG nom those two things are a bigger indicator of Oscar than anything else.
Zoe looks like she had to stick her hands up a cow’s butt in the middle of the night. In 1930.
Watch Orphan Black immediately. That is all.
I like Zoe’s dress except for the pissy color sleeves that are too long. Weird hair, why?Love Tatiana’s dress. I would absolutely wear that! Crazy cool.
