There were bold and bright choices and also some train wrecks.

1. Yas to Janelle Monae. Only this “Hidden Figures” and “Moonlight” star could pull off something this bold and beautiful.

2. Issa Rae is working it in a floor length white gown. It’s so chic.

4. Evan Rachel Wood took a leap of faith with this pant-suit — and nailed it.

5. Olivia Culpo’s artsy gown worked in her favor.

6. Tracee Ellis-Ross is glowing in this silver sequined gown.

7. This is how you rock a yellow gown. Reese Witherspoon is flawless. FLAWLESS.

8. In a brown velvet suit, Donald Glover stands out among a sea of black tuxes.

9. Mandy Moore is Elvira chic in an all black, low cut gown. She was smart to do a nude lip otherwise it’d be too kitschy.

10. At 67, Judith Light’s still got it.

11. Maisie Williams kept it simple and classy with this pretty yellow gown.

12. The top part of Jessica Biel’s dress is exquisite, but the bottom portion is odd.

13. Ryan Gosling stands out in his white-on-black tux, but he also resembles a waiter.

14. Meh.

15. Sure, black is on trend, but Amara Karan’s gown is swallowing her into a black hole.

16. Michael Shannon needed more time with his tailor. His tux is too small.

17. Brie Larson is clashing her eras. She’s wearing the dress of a 1980’s Texas beauty queen while her hair is a blast from the 1950s.

18. We don’t know what Jessica Chastain was thinking with this blue dress featuring flowery sequins.

19. Natalie Portman is still stuck in her “Jackie” role in this 1960s avocado yellow frock.

20. Kerry Washington let us down with this awkward length, gold patterned dress and she usually never disappoints. At least her makeup is on point.

21. Karrueche’s fuchsia prom-gown look is detracting from her natural beauty.

22. It looks like Zoe Saldana got caught in a fight with a cotton candy lace fabric machine… and lost.

23. We love that Pharrell Williams always tries to make a statement but his beanie totally clashes with his suit. It’s not even beanie weather. Also, Helen Lasichanh’s bo-ho dress doesn’t fit the theme.

24. 1980s cocaine chic? Sophie Turner looks like she stepped out of the “Billionaire Boys Club” or “Less Than Zero.”

25. Emily Ratajkowski needed more time with her double-sided tape. Under-boob is a tacky look for any red carpet.
