Award season is truly here and before the Golden Globes on Sunday (and pre/after parties) we’ve got a selection of fancy looks from the various celebrations this week. So happy for this onslaught of evening wear.
Janelle Monáe knows and at the Palm Springs Awards where Mahershala Ali was honored for Moonlight, Monáe points to her suavely dressed co-star. Monáe is very high up on my Golden Globes red carpet entrance most anticipated list and as ever she is crushing it; this time in Jenny Packham and another fantastic lip color/hair accessory. For Monáe skip to the end. 
I’ve been watching a lot of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries recently and if you were to throw a fabulous shawl and embellished hair accessory Kirsten Dunst’s sparkly beaded Ralph and Russo gown would be pure Phryne. There’s something both understated and extravagant at work here; it could maybe do with some jewelry, but I also really like the simplicity.
The reason I stuck with Scream Queens for all of season 1 (I did not make it to season 2) and Glen Powell’s smile could power an electric grid. Nice tux too.
Moving on to the New York Film Critics Circle Awards and I think it won’t shock you to hear Michelle Williams is wearing Louis Vuitton. No Busy for a date this time, but expect to see her come Sunday when I think we will see Williams in a far flashier LV number. This LBD with a gold twist is great and all for a low-key start to 2017 as are the feet freezing gold sandals.
Also at the same event is Amy Ryan and I adore her as much as her choice of blue Art Deco adjacent frock, which is to say a lot.
Viola Davis received her Hollywood Walk of Fame star in style this week wearing a white Christian Siriano dress and Davis is another Golden Globe nominee I am looking forward to seeing walk the red carpet this Sunday. Davis always gives great speeches; this was no different as she talked about her father – which made me misty eyed – and you can see the full video here (Davis is just after the 15 minute mark).
Giving a fantastic introduction is Meryl Streep (starting at 8 minutes) and this line really stood out “She writes paragraphs with her eyes.”
Book-ending this week’s “Out of the Box” with Janelle Monáe and she sure knows how to wear a whole lot of black and white while keeping things exciting. At the Variety “10 Directors to Watch” event she gets all the collar points in a Spring ’17 Lela Rose dress with another tick in the bold lipstick and hair accessory columns. The googly eyes have been switched for safety pins here and gold wire at the Palm Springs Awards. Celeb hairstylist Nikki Nelms is a genius.
