The AFI Awards Luncheon was held at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles on Friday (January 13) in California. 

I was kinda surprise that you didn’t love Ayo Edebiri’s Golden Globes look, because I really enjoy her fresh perspective and style with when it comes to the red carpet.

Much like this 1960s nautical inspired Bode Pre-Fall 2022 sailor coat which she opted to wear as a dress. 

Then we have the juxtaposition of the large bow accented in her hair with the lug boots.

Britt Lower
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Britt Lower doesn’t usually do understated, but that was her M.O. for this event wearing a Saint Laurent tuxedo inspired jumpsuit styled with Malone Souliers Maureen pumps.

Carey Mulligan & Zoe Kazan
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Carey Mulligan adds to the growing list of expectant mothers who will be shaping maternity style in 2023.

Starting with a simple black cape dress, some will feel that her maternity style and her ‘She Said’ promo tour style is much the same.

Zoe Kazan, who also expanded her family after having her second child back in October, wore a patchwork Erdem Fall 2017 dress.

Romance and whimsy has always been part of Zoe style, so this decidedly feminine frock was perfectly suited to her.

Claire Foy 
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

When I saw Claire Foy in this red Huishan Zhang Fall 2020 dress, my first thought was I’m glad she didn’t wear the hot pink version.

The red feels better suited to her classic style.

Jessie Buckley 
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Jessie Buckley gives Letitia Wright’s brown and gold embroidered Schiaparelli Spring 2023 suit a second spin on the red carpet.

The length of the sleeves are still jarring me with this look, and aside from the bag, I don’t feel like Jessie gave us anything new when it comes to this look.

I’m delighted to see Jessie return of her red hair, but I don’t think this was a great fit style wise.

Keke Palmer 
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Keke Palmer continued to showcase her maternity style wearing a Jonathan Simkhai Spring 2023 summery halter neck dress which I wish she styled with the cape we saw on the runway as the runway, as the styling feels more unique.

Meghann Fahy
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Meghann Fahy served up a zipper free Louis Vuitton sequin embellished dress styled with LV boots.

Michelle Williams
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Michelle Williams kept things simple wearing a Tom Ford tailored double breasted mini dress styled with Tom Ford disco platforms.

This might not excite many, but this was a much better option than the Prada dress she wore to the Palm International Film Festival Awards.

Michelle Yeoh
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Michelle Yeoh looked very smart in her Schiaparelli gold trimmed suit styled with a gold Gabriela Hearst Demi bag.

Patricia Arquette
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

I never like to say anyone is overdressed, but Patricia Arquette was kinda overdressed wearing this lurex The Vampire’s Wife copper dress and cape to this luncheon.

Quinta Brunson
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

You didn’t like it when Quinta Brunson opted to fall backwards into her prom-style mode for the Golden Globes, so how did this Prabal Gurung Pre-Fall 2023 look fare?

I like the idea, but I feel very lukewarm about the pink corset.

Rhea Seehorn

Rhea Seehorn wore a black and white striped colour-block halter tea-length dress with floral appliqué by Greta Constantine

Sigourney Weaver
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Sigourney Weaver’s suit was instantly recognisable thanks to Schiaparelli’s gold accents.

She styled her look with SANTONI black leather penny loafers.

Stephanie Hsu
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Stephanie Hsu follows Kate Hudson in wearing this Huishan Zhang Andrea exposed-seams denim midi dress from the Resort 2023 collection.

You may wish that Stephanie had added some colour to this look, but as we all know, Stephanie’s style is very understated.

Thuso Mbedu
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

My first post on Thuso Mbedu was of her wearing a playful Armani look, but on this occasion, she turned up the heat on the brand’s sophisticated tailoring from the Fall 2022 collection.

Viola Davis
2023 AFI Awards Luncheon

Viola Davis’ Lafayette 148 pale blue short set from the Resort 2023 collection is probably this most relaxed luncheon look of them all.

There really is no colour that doesn’t work for her.
