After the stylish dinner hosted by InStyle, expectations were high for the LA premiere of Peacock’s The Five-Star Weekend. While Chloë Sevigny remained true to her distinctive style, much of the rest of the red carpet proved to be a real mixed bag.

Gemma Chan was easily among the evening’s best dressed, bringing a fresh, summery mood in a sculptural white draped dress from the Issey Miyake Spring 2026 collection.
The fluid draping felt effortless, while the white pumps were exactly the right finishing touch.

Sticking To The Formula
Jennifer Garner reminds me of Reese Witherspoon in the sense that both know exactly what works for them and rarely stray too far from that formula.
Her colourful pastel Greta Constantine Resort 2027 strapless dress was another example of that consistency paying off. It may not have been the night’s boldest look, but it didn’t need to be.

D’Arcy Carden embraced summer in a floral Simkhai halter gown that felt perfectly suited to the occasion.
Light, feminine and easy to wear, this was another look that captured the easy elegance the season calls for.

Where It Started To Go Wrong
Jennifer Morrison was the one person I was counting on to keep the summer mood going, so this black velvet dress came as a real disappointment.
The dress was as ill-fitting as it was drab, and as underwhelming as it was forgettable.

Yawn
West Duchovny opted for a black tailored shorts suit. Minimalism can absolutely work, but this felt flat and ultimately uninspiring.

Swing And A Miss
I loved Harlow Jane’s archival choice for the InStyle dinner, but this satin gown simply didn’t work.
The proportions were awkward, and the construction looked unfinished.
For me, this is easily one of the weakest red-carpet looks I’ve seen this year – and Heidi Klum is on that list.
