Alexandra's Christian Siriano at the L.A. premiere of *Tick, Tick... Boom!* was a little divisive. Many of you thought I was crackers for liking it, and I completely understand that. But I was so drawn to its drama and its crisp lines and big choices, and she carried it so well. She and her stylist, Alexandra Mandelkorn, have been taking a lot of large swings on this press tour, with the result being that it's exciting to know Shipp is attending something -- like, say, an upcoming array of awards shows?!? -- because you can't predict which version of herself she will bring.

[This is another Siriano](https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPQdE4psRH/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&ig%5Frid=6ac4f38a-f3e7-4528-9fec-f0a382627fa8), deployed with joy:

My opinion changes every time I look at this. Sometimes it's just straight-up fun, and sometimes I wonder if there's too much happening with the top. Actually, you know what it partly is? The bust. If you click through the Instagram embeds, the third one is a video of her from behind going up an escalator, and I like it much better.

I love [this pink suit](https://www.instagram.com/p/CWKJolbJQtX/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&ig%5Frid=8c5e770d-8f9f-4f71-98b6-f9463af73e32), with the bold red accessories...

... but yes, I would have buttoned the shirt JUST a little more and nixed the peek of bra. It doesn't add anything.

[This is a neat find](https://www.instagram.com/p/CWHLRPGPDxb/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&ig%5Frid=b6ac7f6c-4a85-441b-b881-36c85660af72), and something I wish stylists would do more often:

It's vintage Todd Oldham from 1993\. Again, L.A. must be an absolute trove of this stuff, so it's great to see more people reaching for it. This has a *Very Hungry Caterpillar* meets Marimekko quality to it that has a very specific context in order to work, and I think Alexandra is making a pretty damn good argument that she is that context.

[And here she is in Versace](https://www.instagram.com/p/CV6LGw3BUFc/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&ig%5Frid=e2e097ef-e23a-4237-b926-751fd25ad878):

I'm gonna pass on the shoes, but of these outfits -- and the ones in the slideshow -- there's only one black getup, and one black and white, and the rest are all colorful. It's cool to see a client and stylist obviously having a lot of fun together, and to see a starlet sidle up to the big stage and take a bunch of risks.
