This is undoubtedly bigtime drama. But somehow it ends up coming off cheesy to me rather than chic. Why is that? Is it because she's so monochrome? The cape, the dress, the shoes, and her bronzer are all in the same family.
I also think the dress underneath could've stood to be more elegant. If it were a proper gown, maybe that'd make this look grown-up and not costumey.

ALSO: It appears that the cape is in fact several pieces: Two sleeve-capes and then one cape attached to her lower back. ONE COHESIVE CAPE PLEASE. (That nightgown-style back is terrible. I wonder if she added that so she could get hide some proper boob support. I feel you, girl.)

I do at least like the shoes. The metal makes them interesting.

I'm also pleased the photogs snuck these shots of the celebs heading out onto the carpet. It's like that last moment of pulling it together before the smile snaps into place.
