Fox Winter TCA 2018 All Star Party
We begin on a pretty calm note, at the TCA panel for 911. It would have been unusual for her to turn up at this in something REALLY wacky. Angela Bassett has a sense of occasion, and this was correct here.

And then she whipped out the fringe. This premiere was SO full of color and joy; it was wonderful. If anyone in the world can get me to sign off on a marigold fringe jumpsuit, it is this woman. (Also, doesn't she suddenly resemble Hailee Steinfeld in this photo?)

I love the styling on this one, and the color and pattern in theory, but the design of this dress makes it look like it's an art piece about how it feels sometimes to have a uterus.

This outfit is objectively meh and she looks objectively FANTASTIC in it. This might be one of my favorite things she's worn all year, in part because of how she's selling it.

And here we have Fringe No. 2. It's a lot -- the off-the-shoulder sweater is a tad cutesy for me? -- I am not mad at her in it, either.

I want the lips to be dark purple rather than a berry hue that matches the suit.

This reminds me of those clutches they used to (maybe still do?) sell at, like, Uncommon Objects, or something, that are made from candy wrappers. Except I don't mean that as an insult. I think she looks spectacular and original in this.

Sometimes Angela forgets that we like to see feet on people. Not because we are into feet but because it's weird to look like she has none.

Amazing. And in an unusual designer. I like that she doesn't wear your typical couture houses all the time; she digs in and finds different labels.

TOO TAILORED NOW. Culottes are never the right answer. Also... whatever is happening in the shirt region is also bad. This might be the major hot mess of her year, and yes, that includes the sheers.
