<\/p>\n

The Golden Globes have come and gone, but the looks? Those last forever, especially if you\u2019re Hunter Schafer\u2019s stylist Dara Allen. Then the day after is cause for celebration, considering the numerous \u201cbest dressed\u201d roundups you\u2019ve landed her on. <\/p>\n

The night saw wins for critical darlings like Actress in a Drama Motion Picture winner Lily Gladstone, or Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Barbie<\/em> took home the newly minted Cinematic or Box Office Achievement award, which is like being told you\u2019re popular on Twitter. Oppenheimer<\/em> swept through the Supporting Actor, Actor, Director and Original Score categories, while the people\u2019s princess Ayo Edibiri nabbed that coveted Actress in a Musical or Comedy TV Series trophy.<\/p>\n

A few of the winners and nominees, for the record, even looked good in the process! But more than any other year in recent memory, I genuinely struggled with this year\u2019s carpet. It\u2019s not that the looks were necessarily bad, of course. I\u2019ll demonstrate below just how much there was to look at. Instead, the spectacle of glamor amidst so much death and suffering felt gruesome, at least to this fashion looky-loo. Thankfully, some attendees felt the same. Ramy Youssef called for a ceasefire<\/a> and also lovingly begged his fellow Hulu star Jeremy Allen White to never do another Calvin Klein ad again. Many things can be true at once, but mostly: Ceasefire now!<\/p>\n

The Best of the Best: Dua Lipa<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oh god, a bunch of gay people included Dua Lipa on the best dressed list … It’s like florals in spring! Moving past the shock of it, however, I\u2019d like to formally announce that Dua Lipa looks good in Schiaparelli. The dress hits all the important notes for a carpet: It fits, the embellishments are sublime, and her glam is impeccable. Likewise, it\u2019s nice to see balloon sleeves finally transition into trumpet gowns across the couture space.<\/p>\n

Lily Gladstone<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Best Actress Oscar should, at this point, be renamed the Lily Gladstone award. We don\u2019t need the ceremony to know who the trophy belongs to this year! That said, Valentino pulled out the stops for her Golden Globes appearance. The fit of her gown is impeccable, and masterfully accentuated by Valentino\u2019s tailors, who provided a contrasting cape. Sadly, not many capes could say the same!<\/p>\n

Colman Domingo<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Men are often ignored on the carpets, which isn\u2019t fair. It\u2019s partly due to their overall refusal to engage with stylists and the menswear industry\u2019s generally dated approach to tailoring and design. Thankfully, Colman Domingo wore this custom Louis Vuitton suit and Nehru collar. I gasped, literally, and I generally reserve such physical outbursts for Mariah Carey\u2019s public appearances or anytime Christine Baranski shows up on TV. Thanks, Colman!<\/p>\n

Billie Eillish<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My mind spun wildly out of control when it came time to make a decision on Billie Eilish\u2019s look here. Fresh off accusing the press of outing her over comments she freely offered up in an interview, I was all but prepared to hate whatever she wore. To be totally honest, I probably did until just this moment, when I finally sat down to write out my thoughts. It\u2019s a fun look, and that\u2019s the point. We love Willy Chavarria here at PAPER<\/em>! Now skip along in those biscuit kickers, Billie.<\/p>\n

Fantasia Barrino<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am actually going to ignore that this dress was made by Dolce & Gabbana because what I have to say concerns this dress very little. Fantasia, more than most other stars on the carpet, has not had an easy time since breaking through the mainstream since the early seasons of American Idol<\/em>. It was a long road to a starring role in The Color Purple<\/em>, and good god, am I happy we can talk about her in context of the awards circuit. She looks fabulous, sings better than most of her peers and has the brightest renaissance ahead of her.<\/p>\n

\u200bRosamund Pike<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rosamund Pike is spooky, which is part of her charm and mystique. She\u2019s even spooky enough to tickle me in whatever Maria Grazia Chiuri pumps out at Christian Dior Couture these days. As the gay people say, \u201ckill me mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph is not only my pick for the Oscar, but just about everyone\u2019s pick for the Oscar. Rightfully so! The Holdovers<\/em> star effortlessly swept into contention in a crowded category last year, and I\u2019m happy to see she\u2019s kept that energy on the first major carpet of the season. I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be waxing poetic about Rodarte in 2024, but this dress is phenomenal! The embellished bustier is my favorite part, as it hugs her breasts perfectly while retaining its shape. Effortlessly chic. I also want to shout out the girls who wear visible nails to the carpet! They\u2019re all my sisters in glam.<\/p>\n

Hunter Schafer<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dara Allen has done it again! Hunter Schafer\u2019s iconic stylist is keeping the girls satiated on red carpets literally around the globe. This Prada gown defies belief and has to be seen in action to be fully understood as the masterwork it is.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Dara\u2019s mind is inconceivable. She and Schafer together have a once in a lifetime creative synergy that continues to push boundaries on carpets and off them. It\u2019s like when onlookers first laid their eyes on Law Roach\u2019s vision of Zendaya. Every time feels like the first time! Now excuse me, I have to cry for a moment about all the beauty that\u2019s still left in the world.<\/p>\n

Ayo Edebiri<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ayo Edebiri is the people\u2019s princess, and luckily, she\u2019s continued to dress the part. Hollywood\u2019s hottest starlet also stepped out in Prada for the carpet. While we saw lots of similar trains, which we\u2019ll get to, Edebiri\u2019s gown is the obvious progenitor. The subtle chiffon trim is delightful, and her glam is quintessential Prada \u2014 a bit coy and a bit chic.<\/p>\n

The Not So Great: Hailee Steinfeld<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of Prada, here\u2019s the other side of the coin. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s a bad dress by any means. As a column gown it\u2019s perfectly serviceable, and the pink is a pleasant shade. Sadly for Steinfeld, we\u2019ve already seen better, and in the shadow of its red counterpart, certain details start to come into focus. With so much of this sturdy silk, it starts to constrict and remove one\u2019s proportions. The black lace gloves also feel like an afterthought, perhaps to add some sense of drama to an otherwise pedestrian silhouette.<\/p>\n

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to waste my time figuring out what Emily Blunt and John Krasinski wore because it\u2019s bad, and I wish I didn\u2019t need to spend this much time thinking about it. I\u2019m at a wedding I wish I could leave and John is making a speech about how they met on a business trip in Singapore and really love to \u201claugh together,\u201d which is a hobby for couples who would choose to get married in a converted barn at their favorite brewery because it’s eclectic.<\/p>\n

Selena Gomez<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Selena Gomez had an eventful night at the Golden Globes, after a video circulated of her huffing and puffing to Taylor Swift about not getting a photo with Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet. As she\u2019s already fighting for her life against the \u201cI\u2019m not bothered by Kylie Jenner or Hailey Bieber\u201d allegations, it feels in poor taste to pick apart this Armani dress. If I\u2019m not careful, she might send at least 100 million of her definitely real Instagram followers after me in a protracted social media proxy war based on a shady comment about laminated eyebrows. Oh wait\u2026<\/p>\n

Jason Sudeikis<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Has there ever been a more divorced looking man than Jason Sudeikis? I hate that women spend an inordinate amount of time getting ready \u2014 only to be picked apart by vultures like me \u2014 while ole Mr. Divorce gets to rock up in an H&M crew neck sweater and a brown suit. Justice for Olivia Wilde!<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of women who spend an inordinate amount of time in meetings with stylists and Chanel reps for a protracted, year long press tour: does Ryan Gosling ever get embarrassed that Margot Robbie is still dressed like Barbie while he sports whatever this is? The suit is fine! I\u2019m not mad at the suit, but my god, would it kill men to have a little bit of fun?<\/p>\n

Christina Ricci<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love Christina Ricci. Not only is she one of the best actresses on that carpet, she looked hot as hell. I\u2019m not mad at the dress, and I\u2019m not mad she chose to wear it. I\u2019m mad, actually, at this glam. Come on, people! She\u2019s paid a lot of money for your services. We\u2019re gonna need some trimming on the curtain bangs and something other than a cut crease and smoky eye. You\u2019re ruining her moment!<\/p>\n
