I’m having trouble viewing all of them on the slow-to-load phone.
But I have to disagree with our fashion connoisseur Bixa on at least two:
Sarah Snook’s gown would be perfect without at least two of those extra hanks of fabric weighing it down.
Issa Rae’s fur poncho brings to mind a Yeti!
Others I hated:
Suki Waterhouse’s red cut-out bow-bedecked baby bump (at least she LOOKS pregnant)
Aubrey Plaza’s cream satin envelope bodice secured with a giant knitting needle
Ariana DeBose who forgot her blouse and had to borrow her date’s jacket to (almost) cover her brassiere
Kathryn Hahn should have been barred from entering the hall in that sheer blouse
Ali Wong’s mix and match (mis-match) mish mash…
My early favorites include:
Claire Daines’ pale pink sheath
Jessica Chastain’s lime green v-necklined slim gown
Camilla Morrine’s red plunging gown with train
Which brings to mind the question of trains and gown length. With all the puddled fabric dragging on the floor, how many of these gowns will be ruined before the evening is over?
Not to mention the extra calories burned by having to drag all that fabric weight around behind one’s (presumably calorie-starved-for-the-big-event) body?
And the big losers here are the shoe designers, whose creations are nearly invisible with most of these gowns.

We’re BOTH right about Sarah Snook’s gown!
And I LIKE Jessica Chastain’s slenderness.
Your new link works better for me so more comments below.
Katherine Heigl’s red strapless gown recalls the glamor of bygone days for me, better than Sarah Snook’s.
Selena Gomez’s gown took a pretty neckline and carried it too far down the gown. A black skirt would have been prettier, IMO
Hannah Waddingham is too voluptuous for her sea foam frothy mermaid gown.
Kristen Dunst looks great (in side view anyway) in her demure deep burgundy gown.
Laverne Cox wears a garbage bag better than most.
Add Ellen Pompeo to the group that should be barred from entering the hall for her sheer blouse. Though Kathryn Hahn’s is ghastlier when you include the fringed skirt.
Not loving Abby Elliott’s neckline but it caught my eye.
Not loving Christina Ricci’s deeply plunging neckline either.
Lizzy Caplan looks like she’s trying to hold together pieces that seem to be falling off her dress.
Desi Lydic wears the Yeti fur look better than Issa Rae. IMO.
Joan Collins reminds me of a mummy. And she shoulda skipped the gloves.
Calista Flockhart, what were you thinking?!?
Amy Poehler almost gets a thumbs up, except for the thigh high slit. (So tired of that look!)
Sophie Thatcher looks like she came from the set of a vampire movie.
Molly McNearney looks pretty nice in that form fitting red gown. (Might be nicer on someone with a bit more form, though.)
Juliette Lewis didn’t need that bow tied around her neck. Without it she might have made my best dressed list.
Natasha Lyonne should be banished for those Madonna-like breast cones on an otherwise striking futuristic gown.
I like Meghann Fahy’s simple deep red gown with roses around the top. Adding her to my best-dressed list.
Shame on you, Emma Brooks McAllister for your naughty looking placement of sequins!
Sabrina Impacciatore needs to scoop up some of that fabric from the floor and paste it over the holes in her dress. That nude chemise under it is just awful.
Samantha Hanratty is on the right track with her pink tea length gown with lace appliqué. The flat band around the bustline is a nice touch.
Jasmin Savoy Brown, are you sure you’re wearing it right?
Sophie Nelisse looks uneasy in her too nude too sheer otherwise interesting one-shouldered gown.
Allie Fuller looks like she raided the American Ballet Theater’s wardrobe room.
Tawny Cypress looks nice in her black version of Jessica Chastain’s green dress. But black = ho hum.
Robin Thede, what’s up with the saddle bags?
Tara Kroeger looks well put together and glamorous with her mink stole-like boa wrap and her updo. Needs a diamond necklace though.
I like Jamie Lee’s simple beige gown, but what are those black furry things on her arms? Maybe it’s a wrap…. Extra points for the cool handbag, though!
S&M anyone? Tisha Campbell missed the mark.
Caitlin Thompson looks oh so lovely in her sweet floral cross-cross frock, but does it fit the occasion? I’m thinking garden party or summer wedding bridesmaid.
Can’t complain about Rhea Seehorn’s longsleeve gown, though goat-vomit green is not my favorite color.
Alex Borstein has a gig as a dominatrix after the show.
I like Terri Seymour’s silver-bodiced black gown, though it seems to be worn too low on her chest.
That’s all for now.

Priscilla Presley and Joan Collins went to the same incompetent plastic surgeon. Why can't they age gracefully?
Niecey Nash should have lined up with the drag queens.

Desi Lydic wears the Yeti fur look better than Issa Rae. I love Jessica Williams's demure look, especially considering her out-there character in Shrinking. Brook Sansone brought snacks! Alex Borstein: satire or extreme lack of self-awareness? Liv Hewson showed despite having been dead for several days.

(I added more critiques into my post above. Had to save changes every now and then to avoid losing the whole shebang for an errant keystroke.)

Priscilla Presley and Joan Collins went to the same incompetent plastic surgeon. Why can't they age gracefully? Amen! This is such a pet peeve of mine. Carving up your face trying to look as though you stayed in your twenties forever is a good way to wind up looking like a gargoyle. I am currently watching Shrinking. One of the main characters is an actress who is quite good and would be better if she could still move her face. I knew I knew her from some other show, and finally realized she was Christa Miller from The Drew Carey Show. She is multi-talented, only 59 years old, and it's heartbreaking what she has done to herself. This picture is huge, so please copy & paste the url to see it: https://www.closerweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Christa-Miller-Plastic-Surgery-0001.jpg

OMg that’s awful! She was pretty before, now she looks like a dog-walker or babysitter.

Someone the beautiful people hire to do their jobs for them, perhaps a faded wanna be actress?

Having access to photos from multiple events in a short time span, it’s kinda fun to see several dresses chosen by a given woman.
Maybe it’s time to come out with our personal favorites for actresses usually hitting the mark for awards show fashions.
I’ll start with Jennifer Anniston who plays it safe and always looks good. I’m also thinking maybe Emma Stone as showing good taste most of the time.
Does anyone else have any nominees?

After the things she wore in Poor Things, anything will look simple and tasteful on Emma Stone.

My God! The horror! I was about to comment on the one who looked like a mafioso's widow at the funeral, but then it got progressively worse.

My favorite is (surprise!) Kelly Clarkson. One - of many - I really disliked is Miley Cyrus’s madonna in chain mail. Kelly Clarkson did look good. There is something essentially trashy about Miley Cyrus in general. I liked Olivia Rodrigo's look. https://people.com/thmb/hCqEuUZ-jbnzklH6D6NwwsYSIRQ=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(599x0:601x2):format(webp)/olivia-rodrigo-grammys-2024-arrivals-7fed03effe394795aab0f81e0f6e493c.jpg

I recognised about 8 people. I didn't really like any of the dresses, altho I agree that Kelly Clarkson looked elegant (and didnt have anything hanging out). If I had to choose my favorite outfit it would be Jeff Gitelman's yellow trouser suit which I love (and covet).

My comments are based on the order of pictures in Kimby's link ~~ Look! Sydney Sweeney has big ol' boobs & wants to sluttishly show them off. Billie Eilish is doing that celeb thing of sporting outlandish fashion. You have to admit, she just looks like a kid (she's 22) in silly clothing, instead of like a raving self-impressed asshole like Lenny Kravitz. I have to admit I like Ice Spice's getup. She has the moxie to carry it off & it looks good on her. Oh my god ~~ America Ferrera is wearing Anna Magnani's slip from The Rose Tattoo! How clever of her to cut the bottom off of an ott bride's maid dress and wear that backwards. Rachel Zegler is managing to look oddly demure in that tasseled number with the jet beads -- something like mourning garb for Gypsy Rose Lee. Rain Spencer's dress might have been striking on someone who could wear it with confidence, a hairstyle, and accessories. Xochitl Gomez -- spit curls, because wearing double lampshades from your grandma's house and pink cow patties on your shoulders doesn't make enough of a statement. Halle Bailey -- again with the smashed boobs -- you can even seen the boning cutting into them in that undersized swimsuit top. That's fine, Halle -- makes us respect you for your talent. Jenni Farley apparently dressed in the dark. Lainey Wilson -- I just heated some knitting needles and poked them in my eyes. This is another example of the how you can pull off something outrageous in an admirable way if you have the right attitude. Gotta love Coi Leray in this outfit. Kylie Minogue is looking pretty rough around the edges & that thing she's wearing doesn't help nor the tired exposed leg pose. Mike Sorrentino looks like Captain Kangaroo in leisure wear. Can't say anything bad about Lucy Hale and Ariana Greenblatt. I love the color of Hale's not entirely successful frock. Greenblatt's dress is really cute on her, but is it formal enough for the occasion? Laverne is in costume for something, but what? Zuri Hall -- tell me your positively pinched tits don't hurt in that thing! Kyle Richards -- oh god no Kathryn Hahn must have had an accident which needed a big bandage on her way to the awards. Poor Kandi Burruss, Francesca Farago, and Heidi Klum -- they have no friends who will tell them the truth and save them from themselves. I'm exhausted from this now, so will quit and let others take over. I will leave you with this last little peek from further down the page, though.

I can't possibly compete with Bixa's comments so will pass, especially at 8am. What did "People Choose" here? What a parade of tasteless looks, I can't even call them "styles". And who are these people anyway? Showing my age here, but it seems to me that when mini skirts were first popular, they were worn with flat shoes or boots, certainly not with spike heels. And some of these women should not be wearing mini skirts to start with, not with tree stumps for legs. And I thought that high slit went out of style after the mockery of Angelina Jolie years ago? And with all the talk of MeToo, why are so many of these women still squeezing their breasts into these tight tops, trying to show off as much as possible? Meanwhile, the few who wore loose clothes look as though they are going dumpster diving after the show. Special mention to the guy wearing a skirt made out of old jeans. Adding that I quickly went through the Bafta pictures -- a bit better although there were a couple of doozies there too.

The main thing that I saw was that it was not really fashionable for the women to stick out one naked leg. Of course a few of the women were not fashionable. I was kind of impressed by the outfit on Da'Vine Joy Randolph. When you have a body like that, there is no longer any point in being discreet, and it was really impressive to watch her drag all of that fabric to the stage to obtain her richly deserved award.
