From Marion Cotillard’s Dior dress to Lupita Nyong’o’s Calvin Klein pearl shower, pale dresses dominated this year. Even the men were at it – Jared Leto wore a pale lilac suit and white shoes under his brolly and Cumberbatch wore white.
The success rate of the shade varied wildly. Those who qualified for the pale and sartorially interesting included Cotillard, whose dress worked mainly from the back, and Carmen Ejogo, whose sequin slip gown was almost blasé in its simplicity. But there was some wardrobe pale ail too. Julianne Moore’s Chanel was woefully drippy, Jennifer Aniston’s mermaid Versace was stale as five-day-old bread and Kerry Washington wore maid-of-honour chic. There were some notable exceptions to the pale rule: Dakota Johnson was on fire in Saint Laurent and Nicole Kidman wore a slice of Louis Vuitton sequins with a ketchup-coloured belt.
