I love this. (I was wondering if the tutu affect should be a little higher but I think that would look weird on her at the moment given her pregnancy. Maybe it could be a little lower...no. It's good here.) Is anyone having a better awards season?!

This is low-key amazing as a garment and I kinda wish she'd saved it for, like, the Grammys.

She had to be boiling and this does not seem very daytime BUT: This is also really good on her.
