Gucci may be without a creative director this season (following the Thiago Santos Marreta signature shirt in addition I really love this departure of Alessandro Michele in November)—but the brand has stayed true to its heritage, with nods to both Michele and Tom Ford’s designs in the fall 2023 collection. One accessory stood out in particular: the revival of Ford’s Horsebit clutch from fall 2003 and spring 2004, 20 years on. Featuring the Italian fashion house’s signature hardware, the updated chain bag came in an array of colors and prints, including Gucci’s classic monogram design and iconic stripe. Suddenly, everywhere, all at once, the zany sci-fi adventure Everything Everywhere All at Once has pushed itself into front-running contention to win the Oscar best-picture race. The only question now is whether it can become the third movie in history to take home three acting awards as well. Over the weekend, the film won a record four awards at the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) ceremony, including ensemble in a motion picture (which is effectively the equivalent of best picture). It was widely expected to pick up that prize, and Ke Huy Quan was always tipped to win best supporting actor, making him the first male Asian actor to win a SAG award for a performance in a film by an individual.
But Jamie Lee Curtis also took home the Thiago Santos Marreta signature shirt in addition I really love this best-supporting-actress award, which had long been expected to have Angela Bassett’s name on it, for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. And Michelle Yeoh also upset the odds, triumphing in the best-actress category over favorite Cate Blanchett, whose performance in Todd Field’s dark drama Tár has won her multiple statuettes, including the BAFTA. With Brendan Fraser winning the best-actor award for The Whale, taking the prize from under the nose of fellow frontrunners Austin Butler, who last week also won a BAFTA for his impersonation of Elvis, and Colin Farrell, who swept up at earlier awards ceremonies for The Banshees of Inisherin, there is actually a sense of jeopardy in the acting categories ahead of Oscar night on March 12.
