The monochrome in such a bold color reads very Elvis meets matador meets Teletubby. The blazer embellishments aren’t helping matters — but the sartorial effort fits her figure well.
Bel Powley: B-
If her objective was to scare us, mission accomplished. The gothy lip and Wednesday Addams hairstyle with the Jane Austen-esque gown results in a new version of “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”
James Norton: B
The main thing here is that the jacket is a little too short, and the button stand is uncomfortably too high. But everything else is fine — it’s just a little boring. He has the look of the kind of guy you bring home to your mother.
Benedict Cumberbatch: B
The story of the incredibly shrinking head! The buzz cut, with the powerful shoulders, create a slightly humorous visual. The navy blazer with the black shawl lapel feels timeless and continental. We cannot wait until his hair grows back.
Charles Melton: B+
The hunk status is being reinforced by the wavy, statuesque, flowing hair and the form-fitting blazer, with a touch of chain exposed. Although the look feels a little uninspired, the perfect fit really helps matters.
Yara Shahidi: C+

Will Poulter: B-
