Rihanna wore a hilariously bad Balenciaga ensemble at the Gotham Awards

The Gotham Awards were held last night in New York, and there was a great turnout. People are ready for this awards season, myself included. It feels like a weird year and I’m looking forward to seeing these early awards shows begin to cull down the lists and highlight which actors and films are the frontrunners. It definitely looks like Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is the front-runner (right now) for the big awards, Best Picture and Best Director. PTA won the Gotham Award for picture, but he lost the directing award to Jafar Panahi (who won several other awards). You can see the full winners list here.

Fashion notes from the Gotham Awards: Rihanna’s bulky Balenciaga is not getting high marks, but I laughed out loud at her hilarious pink feathered cloche hat. Teyana Taylor wore Chanel, and she continues to be one of the best-dressed women of the year. Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin were in attendance, and Hilaria had her new bolt-ons jacked to high heaven. Chase Infiniti (star of OBAA) wore Louis Vuitton (I don’t care for that dress, but I’m looking forward to seeing more of her). Elle Fanning was one of the best-dressed women in Ralph Lauren – she is absolutely killing it this year. Tessa Thompson also looked amazing.

I’m also adding a pic of Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster. They’ve been attending more events together, slowly rolling out their relationship while still trying to maintain Hugh’s appeal among middle America. Is it working? I winced when I saw these pics. Poor Deb.

    OOF…Hilaria is hilarious, not in a good way.

    Oh, dear. Hilaria. Those implants don’t look right.

    Teyana Taylor looks fab. Those shoes!

    Sutton Foster is wearing what a Hamptons matron would wear.

    I like Rihanna’s dress, it’s fun.

    Hilaria’s boobies look uncomfortable. Everyone looks lovely. My guess is Riri wanted something remotely comfortable given that she recently had baby. I wouldn’t want anything touching my waistline either. I look forward to the award season looks.

    And yet that looks like a very Rhianna dress to wear so I’m not mad at it. Tessa Thompson looked good in the silver.

  6. ORLY says:

    Rihanna went for extreme comfort in with her recent post-baby bod. A Different colour would have worked better.

  7. Eurydice says:

    The problem with Rhianna’s outfit is that it’s custom. On the runway, the dress was a simple strapless column with a bubble at the bottom and the fabric was light weight and kind of billowy. I don’t know how it ended up being this heavy sack with armholes and ridiculous train.

    I actually really like Teyana Taylor’s outfit. It’s the most “fashion” of them for me, unique and layered. I think the only thing I don’t like is the shoes, though I can see the concept in the patterning. They should have gone with a pointy toe. I don’t know why they keep trying to make fetch happen with those high cut heels.

    Silver dress is gorgeous. Tessa Thompson fits like a glove.

    Hilaria was clearly eager to show off that new boob job.

    Unexpected miss from Rihanna. It wasn’t great on the runway, either, but it was actually better styled there. It’s a sack dress, but it needed to be simple.

  9. Amy Bee says:

    Hilary Baldwin…that’s all I will say.

  10. M says:

    I don’t like any of these actually. Elle’s is so boring, Tessa’s reminds me of Jiffy Pop, and the rest are ugly.
