It’s really looking like Emma Stone might be a Best Actress contender for Poor Things, which I still haven’t seen (full disclosure). People are raving about her performance, and she won the Best Actress in a Comedy Golden Globe last night. I think she’ll probably be short-listed for an Oscar nom too. Emma is a Louis Vuitton ambassador and they actually gave her a half-decent dress, although it coordinated too well with the Globes backdrop! I feel like her makeup has been really funky for months, or am I imagining that?
Sandra Huller also wore Louis Vuitton. She should be a bigger contender for Best Actress, she’s amazing in Anatomy of a Fall. This has a nice color and I like that she really tried, but I hope we see some different stuff on her this awards season.
Oprah also wore LV. Skinny legend! She’s really doing the most to wear purple to promote The Color Purple.

I feel it’s something about the eyebrows. It’s changed her look
^. This!
It’s like her MUA heard “eyes or lips, pick one to emphasize and make dramatic, never both” and thought “Eyebrows!”
It somehow is making her look both overly harsh and washed out at the same time, because the contrast on her face isn’t balanced.
Yes it’s the brows. She almost looks like a different person, and not in a good way. The dress is so pretty but it is also contributing to her looking washed out. I think she needs more vibrant color clothing to balance the eyebrows.
Agree re the eyebrows. There was always something a bit odd about her face – whether it was her teeth or her jaw. But now those eyebrows – I know the character had bad eyebrows in the movie and now so does she – ha! She actually almost looks a bit like Lindsay Lohan in some of those pix!
It is the brows and the eyes both. It almost looks like she’s had some really bad work done, but I think (hope) it is just makeup. It’s very harsh.
Her brows have been strong since LaLaLand and I don’t think it’s the best look for her, but easy to fix so I don’t know why she doesn’t. Maybe she should get bangs.
I think it is a combination of the brows and her hair. That harsh, straight middle part is too severe along with the dark eyebrows. It weirdly bisects her face and ages her.
I almost wonder if she had a lamination/tint done or micro blading that hasn’t faded and balanced out yet.
Yeah, something is off.
Oprah looks absolutely stunning, top to toe.
I think it’s the heavy brows Emma’s had since Poor Things that are throwing things off? Her actual makeup is so pretty and glow-y.
Emma’s dress is only good compared to her other LV red carpet looks. It looks ill-fitting and the color is so wrong. Oprah looks like the wax figure version of her 40 yo self.
I am not a fan of Emma’s dress – at all. They could have done so much better. And I get it Oprah, Pink for Barbie and Purple for The Color Purple.
I think if I saw that second picture of Emma Stone out of context I would have no idea who she was. I don’t know if its the eyebrows or makeup or what, but she looks different in these pics. The dress washed her out and was not great.
Oprah looked amazing.
What a strong year for best actress contenders. Emma is amazing in Poor Things and that role requires her to make such a huge physical and emotional story arc. I also really loved Greta Lee in Past Lives, and Carey in Maestro, and Lilly as well. I wish more people would get to see Origin, Aunjaune was amazing in it but it is such a difficult movie.
You are right about Sandra in Anatomy of a Fall though. I LOVED that performance. It was my favourite of the year alongside Emma’s. She is absolutely incredible in a role that is so contained, playing a complicated, character who is not sympathetic. I need more people to see that film so we can talk about what it is saying about marriage, motherhood, and ambition.
I love some of the other gowns Oprah has worn promoting the movie, but this one looks cheap and a little lumpy? Not my fave shade of purple either. It’s bugging me that I can see the zipper pull dangling under her arm, too.
I wish Christian Siriano did Oprah’s dress for the Globes. The one he did for her National Portrait was fantastic.
I like Emma’s look here, the colouring is very soft which suits her. With her being so pale and always changing her hair colour, sometimes her colouring can look too severe. I like this shade of hair colour, it’s a softer shade of red. hate her hair as a blonde, I don’t know why she always goes for platinum blonde shade and not a more dirty blonde. I don’t know how she has the energy to dye her hair so much.
Poor Things was spectacular. I’ve never seen a film like it before. Mind-blowing.
Emma is so beautiful!!
Jennifer Grey
She’s not just a contender or someone with a shot. It’s really between her and Lily Gladstone and has been for awhile. I think Lily has the edge because of representation, the fact the movie is a drama, it tells an under-covered story and that it’s more conventional. Poor Things is pretty bonkers. 😆 . It may be too much for some voters. But you never know. They went for EEAAO last year.
Lily’s absolutely fabulous but it was really more a supporting role. But it worked for Anthony Hopkins in silence of the lambs. If you can command the screen take the shot. The performances are SO different though that it at least there’s a clear comparison in what voters are looking for.
Every time I see Emma Stone. I always think if Lindsay Lohan had just stayed clean and worked at her craft. That would have been her on stage.
Emma’s eyebrows are god awful. I also think she’s has a few little tweaks and it doesn’t suit her.
Emma just might win this year, it’s between her and Lily Gladstone. I love Lily but I think that her performance was so hyped that I just … expected more once I saw it. Emma’s performance in Poor Things was a tour-de-force; if she hadn’t already won for La La Land a few years back, I don’t even think there would be a competition.
I feel like she’s done something to her face. I don’t believe it’s just make-up. Emma looks like the ‘sister’ to her past self during this campaign. She vaguely looks like herself but she has made subtle changes. I don’t believe it’s just make-up. If so, it’s been weird make-up for months now.
It isn’t just the face in the still picture that appears different; I saw film footage of her accepting the award and when animated and speaking she was almost unrecognizable.
WOW Oprah looks just gorgeous in that bright shade of purple, stunning! That is her color for sure.
