I like this dress so much better in photos than I did on the red carpet:
And the bottom of it is gorgeous. I am not wild about the back:

HILARY SWANK: Alba.
JESSICA ALBA: Swanksy.
SWANK: We meet again.
ALBA: We’ve never met before. But we’re clearly soulmates. Look at our mirror-image hair styles.
SWANK: I’m glad anyone is willing to be my soulmate after that whole Chechian warlord debacle.
ALBA: You must be terrible at Google, though, seriously.
SWANK: I GET IT.
ALBA: But you look nice. Finally.
SWANK: What is that supposed to mean?
ALBA: Just that last time we saw you, you were wearing this. Also, you’ve been on like a ten year campaign to remind us all you have boobs. Talk about “I get it,” am I right?
SWANK: Wow, Jessica Alba, you are kinda harsh.
ALBA: I call ‘em like I see ‘em, Swank. But you do look nice. Well done. FOR ONCE.
SWANK: You also look nice.
ALBA: I think you mean, I look GREAT.
SWANK:…I mean, you do. You do look great.
ALBA: Thanks! Smile pretty for the cameras, and then let’s pretend this never happened.

60No Pacey, so don’t get so excited. They’re not making a lot of personal appearances together lately, but they seemed awfully cozy at Coachella, so I am SURE things are FINE. EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH DIANE AND JOSH LA LA LAH LA.
I tend to think this, too, is just fine. I didn’t like it much the first time I saw it, but now that I’ve actually gotten a real look at it, I kind of dig it. It’s like slouchy surfer girl casual grooviness goes to a ball, and I tend to think she is one of the few people in the world who can truly pull it off. Like, “oh, the Met Gala is tonight? Right. I’m sure I’ve got something great in the back of my closet.” But in the enviable, cool way. Not the lazy half-assed way.

LADY EDITH: Do I look okay?
LADY MARY: You look very much like you just posed for a John Singer Sargent portrait.
LADY EDITH: …and?
LADY MARY: It’s a compliment, you dolt.
LADY EDITH: God, there’s no need to be so Method.
LADY MARY: Sorry. I’m just tired of people asking me where Matthew is. HE ISN’T REAL, PEOPLE. I mean, he IS real. But HE’S not real.
LADY EDITH: The more you talk, the more perplexed my face gets.
LADY MARY: Speaking of, your face in real life is so much nicer than the face they give you on Downton Abbey.
LADY EDITH: Um, thanks? I like your dress quite a lot.
LADY MARY: AND…?
LADY EDITH: And the gloves have got to go. WE’RE NOT ON SET.
LADY MARY: AREN’T WE? HAVE YOU SEEN YOU?
LADY EDITH: THIS ISN’T PERIOD APPROPRIATE!
LADY MARY: Oh, whatever. You look nice. I hope this season you get to marry some nice handsome young man instead of a creepy old dude with enormous teeth who can barely muster up any enthusiasm for you.
LADY EDITH: You look nice, too. I hope this season Matthew’s penis works correctly.
LADY MARY: The whole WORLD hopes that.

I screamed when I saw this on the live-feed Monday, and NOT in the good “OMG I DIE FOR HER FABULOUSITY” kind of way. In the “HOLY SHIT WHAT IS HAPPENING HOLD ME” kind of way:
That is officially a shit-ton of appliques, which is officially at least a handful too many.
