Cassie in On Aura Tout Vu, Diddy in Rick Owens
We begin with the unfortunate truth that Cassie's gown looks crazy full-on, like she is being slowly consumed by a villainous toilet brush. And is Diddy wearing a blazer underneath his matching duster-length coat? Could he not have... worn a shirt that's the right length? Anyway, although it looks like an homage to hyperspace, he said his was an ode to people who think outside the box. Which may explain...
... the fact that he was inspired to lie down on the steps while Cassie got her pose on for the photographers. And actually, that's not even lying down. That is posing. That is MODELING. That is basking. That is knowing you are the center of attention even though you are not the one standing in front of the cameras.
Right? Coat neatly tucked, leg crossed just-so, one red Louboutin'd sole winking at the crowd. Diddy knows what he's doing. He's not copping any accidental squat. And honestly, it's KIND OF obnoxious -- like, it plays off the tired, "SIGH, waiting for the woman, who always needs so much TIME" stereotype -- but it's also hugely entertaining to me that he just full on stretched out.
"No no, take your time, I'm working an angle here."
I do love her basically laughing right at him.
