This night was all about Alicia Vikander’s white dress by Nicholas Ghesquière (Louis Vuitton). The racer back, the open sides, the paneled apron style front top, and the pleats (ah!)…..to me she was indeed a vision in white.

The dangling diamond earrings, the sleek & classic pulled back hairstyle, and ethereal make-up were perfect for this dress.

I wonder why there is never much I have to say about the men on red carpet. It always looks like a sea of penguins…..I’m sorry! I just have to cultivate an eye and appreciation for the black/white and navy suits. The men do look dapper though, but I can hardly say the styles apart. But on this night, David Oyelowo, another Briton did not escape my gaze. I really liked this Dolce & Gabbana suit’s color and texture on him. I also thought the bow tie went well with this three piece. Mrs. Oyelowo looked nice and didn’t outshine the star, which was a very good thing.
