While some considered Elle Fanning’s voluminous Balmain skirt paired with a cheetah-print bodice a bit unconventional, we loved the unexpected twist.

Worst Dressed

However, not all looks were winners. Angelina Jolie’s Alexander McQueen gown, while undoubtedly high fashion, didn’t quite hit the mark. The dress fell flat — mediocre at best — and didn’t make the bold statement her red carpet presence usually demands.

Similarly, Timothée Chalamet’s Tom Ford look was underwhelming.

Cate Blanchett’s pale gold Louis Vuitton dress also disappointed, as it failed to push boundaries and appeared a bit too safe for the risk-taking star.

Lastly, Ali Wong’s red Balenciaga haute couture gown just didn’t work. The shape looked sad, and the pairing with long black gloves only seemed to make matters worse.
