Happy Thursday, dear readers! Let’s ease into our Halloween weekends with some fabness and some judgment.

Let’s begin with the explosive fierceness that is Jena Malone. Her cat-eye makeup and red lips are the perfect accessories to this already-awesome outfit. Is that a tuxedo jacket, a cape, or a trench coat? I don’t know, and I don’t care, because it’s fabulous either way. And let’s get a glimpse of the cut-outs hiding underneath:

If I had a flat tummy instead of my cozy little donut of pudge, this is the only dress I would ever wear. This is spec-fucking-tacular.

She needs a pedicure and a shoe that doesn’t have an ankle strap for that lace to really shine, but godDAMN this is beautiful. It’s a lot sexier than Jessica’s usual aesthetic, and I am really enjoying this touch of badassery. Plus, when she’s in black, her hair practically glows. It is a sight to behold.

Camila’s printed, peplum-ed liquid nylon gown is an absolute work of art. That shit is unbelievable. I could stare at it all day, and not just because I’m really bored at work right now. (Just kidding! I totally don’t blog in the workplace!) And Matthew is looking über-stylish, as per usual. The burgundy trim on his suit matching his shoes? Come on. That shit is excellent.

She may actually just be wearing pajamas, but at least she’s wearing them well. Any bets on what is sticking out from under her boobs? Lace? Tattoos? Or perhaps Rihanna is slowly turning into a lizard?

I have had an imaginary love affair with this dress since it hit the Fall 2014 runways. It was my red carpet prediction for Mad Men‘s Jessica Paré, and it’s a dream on Sienna Miller. I think the black peep-toe platforms were a little uninspired, but fuck it, this dress is so awesome I can’t bring myself to care.

Boho-chic at its best. Like Elle, it’s hippie-dippie but romantic; ethereal but cool. The way she’s currently positioned makes her look like she has one T-Rex arm, but that’s the fault of the poofy sleeve hiding her crooked elbow. And the auburn locks she’s been rocking lately are really working for her, and helping to break her away from that good-little-blonde-girl image she probably thought she’d have to carry to her grave.

SEXY AS FUCK. The draping just underneath the bust doesn’t totally make sense to me, but everything else about this is the height of drag queen fierceness.

I never knew it until today, but I cannot live another day on this earth without a sleeveless tuxedo jacket.

This is the first time in human history that I’ve seen Zendaya look anything but completely fucking insane. But I like her coat, and although it’s not really quite stockings weather in NYC yet, I’m fully obsessed with her Mary Janes.

Tessa Thompson has not aged a day since she was on Veronica Mars a decade ago. She looks amazing, and not just because this dress is so fucking cool. Randomly-placed and randomly-shaped tummy cut-outs are the new side cut-outs, which means I’ll probably be sick of them in a week or two. But for now, I’m loving this.

One of my favorite dresses Rashida has ever worn. That shade of blue just sings on her, doesn’t it?

I like the earrings, but the rest isn’t particularly imaginative. And is it just me, or do her eyebrows always look like they’re hiding under several layers of foundation?

This fun little number was my red carpet prediction for Mindy Kaling, but I’m moderately satisfied with Margot’s incarnation of it. The heavy eyeliner and greasy-looking hair (the Democracy Diva wrote, while trying not to inhale the scent of her own unwashed locks) bring things to too much of a late-90s place, but you can’t really go wrong in a sequined jewel tone.

This fits her terribly. And while bullshit fashion rules like not wearing white after Labor Day are, well, bullshit, late November is really not the best time to don a white pump, no matter how sunny it still is in Los Angeles.

Love the collar; hate the hair, the fit of the pants, and the alien torture device shoes.

I love this woman, but I do not love this dress. Ms. Agron, you can do much better.

The fit of this dress just kills me. I’m sure it’s intended to be effortlessly sexy, but it just looks like an old-fashioned slip that’s hanging off her body. Digging the eyeliner and the relaxed bob, though.

Unless you’re a weather reporter in the 90s, I don’t think that hair is ever necessary. Ever.
