MTV Video Music Awards Arrivals - NYC, New York City, United States - 20 Aug 2018
At the time, I said, "those are some PANTS!" and I stand by that. Knowing she was doing all this promo almost in costume as her character makes it all make more sense.

She wore this backstage at the VMAs and it feels like she just scored tickets to Hamilton and wanted to dress like a castmember.

WEARING VIVIENNE WESTWOOD
I originally said this felt like Vivienne Westwood was costuming a revival of Oliver! and it still feels true. I do love the shoes.

This could have been like 30% less Gucci for me. Like, did we need the ascot? It is drawing focus from the great coat AND the great suit.

Yes, she's flashing a pocket watch, which -- along with the fancy walking stick -- also happens in the movie. Blake's character is kind of...an evil (???) lady-dandy. It's fun.

This feels VERY autumnal. Not a complaint. Again: I covet the oxfords.
