For the record, we all love Tessa Thompson! Loved her since Veronica Mars. Loved her in Dear White People. And Creed. Favourite part of the MCU, for sure. So please believe us that this is not a hit piece when we say noooooo, Tessa Thompson, whyyyyyyyyyy?

She has red-tinted hair and red-tinted sunglasses, plus red leather driving gloves. Absolutely perfect, Italian, fashion, no complaints. A patterned bag that both clashes and goes with the stitching on her sheer dress, worn over a black bralette.

The details are superb, from the darkly feminine bow in her hair to the black heels with a bit of a Tim Burton edge.

But then there are the trousers. Trousers! Why, Tessa, why the trousers?

It’s not so much that these trousers, in particular, are a problem - basic black slacks hardly ever are – but are we doing dresses over trousers again? Didn’t we decide not to? Her stylist couldn’t have found her a black slip that came to the same hem as the dress? And/or some tights? Or at least add a slit to the dress so it can breathe and open up and let the pants be part of the outfit instead of a base layer?

Because she’s Tessa Thompson, she almost makes this look work, and you might be inspired to try a dress over trousers at home. But what starts as a trend may quickly descend into…
