There were a myriad of looks at the 2019 National Board Of Review Annual Awards Gala on Tuesday (January 8) in New York City. Celebrities joined Olivia Wilde.
Regina King: Breaking from her recent pink outfits, the ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’ actress wore a speckled Zac Posen gown which had a pattern that mimicked falling snow. The frilled bodice plays off the diagonal seaming.
Maggie Gyllenhaal: ‘The Kindergarten Teacher’ actress kept things understated in a neutral A.W.A.K.E. Spring 2019 dress. The earrings help enliven it but I would have chosen a different shoe.
Sophia Bush: Oozing Old Hollywood glamour, the actress was outfitted in a Zac Posen dress. This material is notorious for creasing and puckering so I commend the chic, liquid finish.
Linda Cardellini: She continued the bow trend of the 2019 Golden Globes with this inky number. The black velvet with the crinkled trim had a bewitching boudoir sentiment without looking like nightwear.
Constance Wu: The disco vibes were apparent in the ‘Fresh Off The Boat’ actress’s Galvan London ensemble. I foresee the sheer tights being divisive.
Uzo Aduba: The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actress looked statuesque in her striped Elizabeth Kennedy dress. The vertical lines created a sharp effect which was subtly echoed in her accessories.
Michelle Yeoh: The Malaysian actress showcased her edgy side with her Jason Wu biker jacket and boots. The badass vibes were juxtaposed with the tulle skirt and dangling earrings for a dynamic all-black ensemble.
Awkwafina: Also wearing black like her ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ costar, the funny lady donned an Elie Saab Fall 2018 gown where the velvet trim created a graphic effect. Some tailoring would have prevented the slight sagging effect the dress has at present.

Regina looks amazing here. I love the dress and the hairdo.
Regina shut it down! She really is on fire at the moment
Regina King, wow. Ruffles, spaghetti straps and silky material that could show every flaw. And yet, she carries it off with ease. Love the ‘do. She looks like cool jazz on a hot night.
Uzo also looks great, her red carpet game is strong. Sophia is looking a bit mother of the bride-ish but the red helps mitigate the effect somewhat.
WHY is Maggie doing this to me? Wearing a drabass dress undeserving of her fabulousness?
Uzo and Michelle Yeoh for the win for me. I agree with Vizual above about Constance. I don’t know if it’s the tights, the pic, or the overall look, but it is not good.
Michelle Yeoh for the win. She looks badass in that fabulous outfit. Regina and Sophia look pretty great too.
+1
And badass in such an elegant way.
Ooh, I wish Constance had forgone the tights because the rest was quite nice. I like Regina choice from Posen as it’s feel we’ve seen the same style of dress by him being worn. I am not fan of biker jackets being worn at galas/gown events as it doesn’t make it cool. Awkafina’s gown feels matronly for her.
Sophia, Constance and Uzo.
Regina, Sophia, and Uzo look fantastic. Awkafina looks like a girl in her mother’s dress — not good. Would someone please help Maggie with her posture? She looks quite bad here. The rest are meh.
Damn, Regina must be exhausted but she’s doing a great job. This is one of Uzo’ best looks she looks fab from H2T. I don’t know if it’s the angle but that dress on Constance is unflattering. Sophia’ look, esp with that hairstyle, is kinda aging.
