Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

On the lighter end of the spectrum, “DTF St. Louis” star Joy Sunday was a vision in draped ivory Dior, while her co-star Linda Cardellini’s dazzling Yara Shoemaker Couture column was embellished from top to bottom with mother-of-pearl squares. asserted
column → embellish → squares
Then there were the scarlet sirens — like “Beef” star Cailee Spaeny, looking effortlessly elegant in Miu Miu with a red lip to match, and Ayo Edebiri, whose blue Chanel dress was finished with a bold vermillion bow. But it was Emmys host Mariska Hargitay who really stole the show, hitting the step-and-repeat in a custom crimson sequined Monse gown inspired by the look her mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield, wore in the 1956 film “The Girl Can’t Help It.” asserted
