I have a theory about Claire Danes and her style. My theory: Claire’s style really took a major hit during her pregnancy and she hasn’t regained her style mojo since. She used to be one of the most-watched women on any given red carpet, but nowadays… not so much. I think after she gave birth, she didn’t care that much about clothes, which… fair enough. That’s fine. But what’s weird about her look this year is that it feels like she did put some effort into it and it still came out terrible, if not worse than when she didn’t give a crap. Or maybe it’s just that everything Riccardo Tisci touches turns to Kardashian-esque krap. Yes, Claire wore Givenchy. And it’s bright red and lace and high collared and AWFUL. When you really look at the design, you can see that the top part is just a sleeveless, red version of Kim Kardashian’s wedding gown too.

CB was complaining about Claire’s makeup too – it’s not so obvious in these photos, but on the E! show, you could really see that Claire was wearing a mountain of makeup. She doesn’t need all that! And she needed a real hairstyle because this one… ugh. Also: I feel like a broken record about this, but I always get weird vibes from Hugh Dancy when he’s with his wife. Maybe he’s just got Natural Bitchface or something, but it always feels like they’re walking the carpet together after they had a huge fight in the limo.

And here’s Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta. It reminds me a lot of Marilyn Monroe’s iconic look in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Same cut and color. Well… I actually like it? She looks pretty in the color, it fits, it’s age-appropriate and pretty. She styled it well too – I like the casual phase-out of the bangs and while her hair is sort of Duchess Kate-esque here, the curls are nice.
