I fully admit that I have never “gotten” Schiaparelli. I’m missing that gene, I guess. At the Grammys, one of the few “fashion conversations” was Beyonce’s ill-fitting Schiaparelli dress – it was a custom piece, and you would have thought that meant that it would fit her like a glove. It did not. She was scared of popping out of it all night, and her underwire was exposed in many of the photos. It should have been an even bigger conversation, that Schiaparelli can’t be trusted to provide good looks for women at awards shows. But women are still trusting this couture house. Well, Demi Moore wore Schiaparelli to the Critics Choice Awards and once again, I’m asking WHY? Why do this to your bust, ladies? Why wear such unflattering, ill-fitting pieces? Anyway, Demi won the Best Actress Award, and given the mess with Karla Sofia Gascon (who did not attend the CC), I think it’s safe to say that Demi is a massive front-runner in this Oscar race.
Marianne Jean Baptiste wore Oscar de la Renta. I love this. It’s age-appropriate but it still feels fresh and youthful. It reminds me of something Jill Biden would wear. Marianne was one of several women who were notably “snubbed” for a Best Actress Oscar nom.
Kathryn Hahn in Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2025. LMAO. She looks like she’s wearing a deconstructed black swan costume.
Sarah Michelle Gellar also wore Oscar de la Renta – I like this? We see her so rarely at these awards shows, it’s a nice treat. She just turned up in a relatively “simple” black dress, really.
Leighton Meester & Adam Brody both wore Dior. Adam won a Critics Choice Award and Leighton was really emotional about it! They seem really solid. I’m fine with her dress, but the bangs are killing my soul.

Marianne Jean Baptiste looks the best out of everyone in all the fashion posts today.
I agree. I don’t know how these dresses were chosen but yes.. not a great one among them. Demi’s is an especially poor choice.
Agree. This de la Renta is beautiful and simple and classic, something in good taste that I can see Doria, Meghans mom wearing. He designed her wedding suit .
It was fresh and lovely. She looked great.
Yes, she looks amazing. Stunning. Except for the color, Demi’s gown is tragic.
Marianne looks absolutely fab! In a just world she would be winning ALL the awards, but I think it has been decided, by the powers that be, that this is Demi’s year! When you compare The Substitute, which I quite enjoyed as a bit of fun fluff, to Hard Truths the vagaries of Awards’ season are fully exposed. I give all the flowers to Marianne!
Someone I work with has similar bangs and—even though I don’t know you—I have found myself thinking “Kaiser would find those so tragic” 🤣
I thought Leighton’s dress was really dreamy and sort of sparkly gold. But yeah the bangs.
They’re so inexplicably bad.
Why do people hate bangs so much? I know why I hate them on me – I have wavy hair and no matter how much I straightened my bangs, the least bit of perspiration made them flip up at the sides like wings. Add to that glasses and braces and you have middle school trauma.
I don’t get the bangs hate either. Some women have faces that can pull them off, like Leighton.
Agree, @robert. I think she looks great.
I think it depends on the cut and styling – my favorite bangs have been Reese’s side swept and Catherine Zeta Jones
Demi Moore’s dress looks like it was probably ill fitting and awkward in motion. I know she’s pathologically chasing extreme youth, but it’s perfectly normal now to still be sexy at 60 and upwards. She should get on that trend.
Honestly, her face and body just make me sad. She is so gaunt. A few pounds would do her a world of good.
I do wish she’d stop messing with her face.
Parts of me love the dress and think it’s different and artistic. I’m conflicted but over all Demi who is so beautiful looks a little like the substance movie character- her lips and face look a tad over done and she doesn’t quite look
Like herself. Her face has always been so gorgeous and memorable if she aged w/o work she’d still be so beautiful. It saddens me when the face work makes something ab a person less recognizable…
“Pathologically chasing extreme youth”- @mightymolly You are so right and that is so on message for “the substance” and why she was so perfectly cast in that. Her gown looks like one jlo (another one chasing youth) recently wore except for that microphone looking thing in the middle of her cleavage. Really bad.
It certainly highlights her implants, but I’m glad she won. She’s one of the hardest working women in show biz and deserves credit where credit is due. Seems everyone is happy and excited for her!
I’m not crazy about the front of Demi’s dress but I think it was chosen for the back of the dress because it looks like the stitches up her back in the movie.
I’m really enjoying Kathryn Hahn’s face in the pic, it seems like she also understands how bad her dress is.
At first glance I thought that thing sticking in the middle of Demi’s dress was a microphone. And Kathryn’s Oscar de la Renta reminds me of the Maine fiber artist, Katharine Cobey, who used to knit with trash bags and caution tape.
I actually did not notice Demi’s dress. I liked the color of her dress. I found her hair style unflattering. Perhaps something else that would camouflage those large ears and those earrings certainly made her ears look even bigger.
omg, don’t say anything about her ears. If she finds out, she will have those surgically altered too — to whatever an “acceptable” size is.
I’m not sure why Marianne’s dress is described as age appropriate when she’s 57. So younger than Demi Moore. And not that flattering to be compared to the – lovely – Dr Jill, who is 73. That said, Marianne looks classy.
I agree. What is age appropriate? Don’t like that term at all for an adult woman.
That said she looks demure and lovely
LOVE Demi Moore’s dress. I bet it was amazing in person. I think she looks great.
Leighton Meester needs colour.
Kathryn Hahn‘s bodice looks like that expanding/accordion-mesh style kraft paper wrapping and the skirt and detail look like paper shred.
