Amy Adams was nominated for best actress at the BAFTAs, for Arrival, a category for which she was robbed of an Oscar nomination this year. She was also supporting her Nocturnal Animals director, Tom Ford, who was nominated in his category. Those categories went to Emma Stone and Damien Chazelle for La La Land. (I don’t get it, but my sappy friends who are so in love and post their entire relationship on Facebook love it. I guess romantic people think it’s adorable.) So she wore Tom Ford and the result was – not good. This looks like something Ford would make for Julianne Moore. It’s a sack of a dress, there’s some weird stuff hanging off the back and it’s not flattering at all. From the front it’s just a plain straight strapless gown with a green velvet border, but check out the back. It’s got mesh, a velvet ribbon and it’s gathers around her bottom in a way that looks like an afterthought.
Here’s Bryce Dallas Howard in Solace London. I really dislike this extremely deep v-neck dress trend, but as far as that style goes this isn’t bad. This is sexy, it’s glamorous, and I like how she chose to accessorize with some simple bangle bracelets and killer earrings. Bryce looks great but she needs to stop with the injectables as she’s looking a bit pinched. She was there with her dad, director Ron Howard.
Thandie Newton is really slaying this awards season, just by being Thandie. She’s the real standout on Westworld and her career seems to be on an upswing. There’s news that she’s in talks to join the Han Solo movie, which would be a great idea. She was wearing Osman and I don’t know if I like this huge curtain of hair she’s sporting but look at this gown it’s so elegant. I love the very feminine pointed bustline and the little embroidered flowers sitting daintily on one side of the waist. This is stunning.

Thandie is everything!
To think that I didn’t like her during the MI2 days.
She looks sensational. And I love the hair. And the lipstick.
Thandie was the best dressed of the night. One minor complaint, the bust sits a bit too low, but other than that – perfection.
Beautiful dress on Thandie and half of it is her posture.
Amy’s dress looks like it was made for someone about 12 inches taller and long-waisted. If the draping was just under the small of her back it would be much better. Where it hangs unfortunately just makes it look as if her butt is saggy, which I’m sure it’s not.
Uniquely fug.
I love Thandie but I really don’t get the praise for this dress? It looks like it’s about to slide off any second.
I thought so too, not a hit for me.
Same! Makes me uncomfortable.
Me too – I hate when dresses look too low.
She looks good though, despite the dress.
I believe Angelina wore a black version of Amy’s dress a while back
Yes.. there is a link below.
THAT’s Bryce Dallas Howard? She looks so different! She’s had way too much stuff done to her beautiful face.
She looks like LiLo
being the least redhead of the help film must have killed her inside.
in 2004, she was the beautiful 3rd generation hollywood royalty ready for superstardom.
13 years later, people confuse her with jessica chastain, jennifer lawrence took the throne (and the money) and it is emma stone who is coming at her as the critics and oscars darling.
and we are not talking about the new ingenues thirsty alicia vikander, oscar winner allison brie, haughty rooney mara, the young third olsen…
She is 35 and not a household name, has to buy her own gala dresses to shine ( and to be glad to be able to do it, but must be seething all the fashion and cosmetic campaign money )
Jurassic world has put firmly chris pratt on the map and marvel franchise gives him work and exposure until 2019.Her wiki is from 2016 is empty.
Botox is her way to win a few more years to bounce back. if it isn t too late. hollyweird is really hard on women who want the top spot.
I love Allison Brie but think you mean Brie Larson? I could cope with being Bryce I think…
@ Annetommy thank you for the correction. sorry to respond to the wrong person i can’t reply to you , is it a bug?(p.s it worked)
i think like you Bryce has an enviable career and should lower her ambition or go to tv series like her husband.Maybe she is refused these opportunities…
but this is no coincidence to see her go to uk with her father. i m surprised there are so much big wigs like weinstein.she must have been networking like crazy.
Baftas = cinema, so she knows what she wants
She also looks a *lot* older than her age in these photos – I thought she was Ron Howard’s wife at first.
ten years ago her mother looked fresher …
She looks at least 50, so injectables are not doing what she thinks. I vote for her original face which I really liked.
Amy’s dress gives her the diaper-butt effect.
But those calfs are goals
The green dress looks like she has wrapped herself in a towel. I like the back, though, and I love the shoes and jewelry.
The black dress with the flowers is cute, but mich too low – it looks as if she is losing it. This would have been lovely if it fit better.
I’m just astonished that Amy Adams can walk in those shoes. She’s not far from being en pointe!
Look a her INCREDIBLE calves! We mere mortals couldn’t walk in those.
Amy is gorgeous, humble, and underrated. I feel badly for Amy-why is she being ignored this awards season? Furthermore, this Tom Ford dress does not reflect Amy’s essence or talent. Amy deserves much better.
Bryce Dallas Howard needs to stop with that face!
seriously.
I didn’t notice it before, but it is noticeable here. And there’s no need, she’s pretty and young still!
Lol Angelina Jolie wore the exact TF dress as Amy Adams a few years ago…

I was just going to post that. I liked it better in the black. Angie’s version has slits on both sides; not the back.
The length on the dress Amy wore is too long. They didn’t alter it to fit.
I love love love Thandie, love the dress and makeup, but the hair kinda distracts from the embroidery on that side I’m afraid.
Amy and Thandie are so beautiful! Bryce has f*cked up with her nose, right? Amy should wear green more often. It really suits her.
Newton’s dress is ok. Absolutely hate the shoes.
Glad to see Ron Howard had the time to find a tie and get rid of the cap this time around.
thandie’s dress is the only one i like, it’s kinda edgy. i’m not crazy about the super straight hair.
Yup. Thandie for the win.
I hate this dress so much. Ugh.
It looks like a towel wrapped around her waist and while the color should be a more jewel tone but in the end it’s not so bad, the fit is AWFUL. And it makes me so angry. Who told her this was ok?
She should sack the stylist.
I agree. The colour is good for her colouring but the style is awful and so inflattering on her. It looks like she has no waist and she is a great shape.
I’m not a fan of any of the dresses featured. However Amy Adams’ has to be the worst. It is a beautiful colour but there is nothing else positive I can say about it.
OMG, what happened to Dallas???? That pic of her and her father is sooooo odd!
Wow!! All these ladies slayed, but I especially loved Amy Adams’ dress. It’s a little tired always putting red heads in green though.
Amy, why are you wearing a towel?
Amy looks lovely. The green is beautiful on her and the earrings bring some glamour to her look. The back of the dress is a major fail.
They all look soooo tense
I had the craziest dream! I opened the shower stall door and there I was onstage ….
Bryce is lovely and I do like her dress but she looks a bit off here. I love Thandies dress but it could fit a bit better on the busy.
Amy Adams is a decent actress…she’s not that quality as far as what I’ve seen… but I can’t say she’s a bad actor. Anyway, her style is always on the cusp of …yawn. Her features are not very attractive … and Tom Ford is a hack … he can’t even sketch. He’s not a real designer as much as he’s a curator and marketer. Yes, I said it. That is all.
