First, I love Eva. She is one of my favorite reality TV personalities. She also looks like a 90s supermodel in this, and I support that generally; this look was shown on the runway with a matching jacket and I kinda miss that, but it was GLORIOUS in LA this weekend and I suspect she felt it would be unseasonal. That did not stop a LOT of other people.

As noted, the aughts are BACK. This is a CLASSIC Going Out look.

I love the Grand Dame but those trousers! They're so long! Somewhere in Potomac, Gizelle just said something snarky. (Leaving aside the fact that Gizelle herself, despite being GORGEOUS, has sincerely wacky taste.)

MC Lyte

This is very kicky and fun on her.

Shamick Moore

I sincerely think this is also kicky and fun on HIM.

Daisha McBride

This look works SO well.

The Sugar Hill Gang

Everyone here looks dapper AND this also says, "it was a pain in the ass to get this Supreme bag and I'm making the most of it."

Lance Gross

Dapper AGAIN.

Armani White

We're in the section of this slideshow I like to call This Person Was Probably Too Hot in This But I Get It, The Outfit Was Too Good to Pass up. AKA Everyone Wearing Their New Sweater Vest to the First Day of School, 1991.
