Louis Vuitton dressed three prominent nominees for last night’s BAFTAs – Cynthia Erivo and Saoirse Ronan in the lead actress category, and Ariana Grande in supporting. Ronan wearing LV is not a surprise – she became an LV ambassador last year, I think? But it’s interesting that both Ari and Cynthia wore LV and yet it didn’t feel like they coordinated at all. If you ask me, LV gave their ambassador the best dress, and the house did Ari and Cynthia dirty. In any case, all three women lost in their respective categories.
Saoirse looked absolutely perfect in this dress with a matching cape/jacket/wrap. This ice-blue can be tricky on many pale women, but they got the tone just right, and Saoirse paired it with a bright lipstick so she didn’t look washed out. She just looks so elegant and regal. It helps that she’s married to certified hottie Jack Lowden too.
As for Cynthia and Ari… yeah, not their best looks of the awards season. I’m actually really mad that LV did this to Cynthia. Sure, she’s been wearing some offbeat styles, but the structured breastplate doesn’t take away from the ghastly bottom of the dress. Ari’s dress isn’t really to my taste, but I’m not mad about it. I just think it’s too much fabric for such a petite woman and the peachy pink mess doesn’t “go” with the sleek black top.

Cynthia’s shoes ruin the whole look. They look cheap.
Ariana continues to cosplay as a pixie ballerina. Could she zhuzh her hair ONCE or wear something other than pink or beige?
The dress ruins Cynthia’s look. LV really let her down.
I think the top of Cynthia’s dress looks like one of those vintage fireplace covers which is intriguing to figure out a storyline about. It goes with the whole Elphaba is on guard thing, I guess.
And Ariana’s dress makes her look like a fancy toilet paper doll. I like it. It goes with Glinda’s I’m overly precious and bizarre and saccharine dealy.
I’m not a fan of any of these looks. Saoirse is giving me The Jetsons vibe… I don’t know why. The theme song started playing in my head when I looked at it. Ariana’ s skirt look is giving me Gone with the Wind curtain vibes. LV are always playing in these celebrities faces. I’ve only seen one celebrity they dress well but that has more to do with her stylist and how she wears the clothes than them.
Ariana looks like she’s standing in a cabbage patch. All the parts of this dress are out of proportion for a woman of her size – it seems to have been meant for someone much taller.
I’m not sure what’s appropriate for her at this point. She’s a 30 year old woman who now looks persistently 15. I honestly think the designer was trying to bridge that visual inconsistency with this weird floofy design.
Her sexy baby with the I Dream of Jeannie pony tail schtick has morphed into little girl cosplay. I am all for self expression (I am 61 and have piercings and tattoos) however, the tats on her hands, wrists and fingers always make me think she was playing with a ballpoint pen and it exploded on her. A couple of them would be fine, but for me they ruin whatever look she is wearing.
the proportions are awful. it cuts her in half in a weird way, not really in half.
Ronan, really? She looks like she’s wearing paint, in a bad way.
The Wicked women dresses look poorly made to me.
Cynthia could hide behind the lace screen when someone sneezes around her
Very on brand for Ariana, I think. She likes to look like she’s emerging from a puff of cotton candy.
So, clearly someone at LV was…I was going to say doing laundry, but more likely watching the maid strip the bed in preparation of sending the laundry out for cleaning, saw the balled up fitted sheet in the maids’ hands and said, “OF COURSE!”, and thus we have Ariana Grandes’ dress.
Saoirse’s dress. I am swooning at this color and fit. It is so beautiful. I can’t take my eyes off that dress.
Agreed. The color and clean lines really make it special.
I can’t stop admiring Saoirse’s dress. It’s simple but beautiful. With Ari’s dress, my eyes focus on the wrinkles and it seems busy and overpowering for her. I love Cynthia but she has to step up her game. I don’t want her to come off costumey or campy. I want elegant OSCAR nominee from her.
Cynthia’s charisma, sass, and boss lady attitude win it for me. She has the It factor and is fascinating and stunning in that dress. She could wear a bag and I’d only look at her anyway.
I’m getting bridal vibes from Cynthia’s dress. I prefer her Wicked promotional looks.
Cynthia’s dress is fine. It’s consistent with her nose-ring and 3 inch nails “lewk.”
