Arranged thusly, this seems sort of new for her -- floaty, but not voluminous, and ethereal but not sheer. However, then she moves, and it blows that to bits.

She's also growing out her buzz cut, which she debuted at the Met Gala (was it for a movie? I never processed that), and which she has dyed pink. I always love her supreme confidence, but she really IS in a nipple rut. And a chonky shoe rut.

She knows how to work a dress, though, that's for sure.

This is so great. I wish Miss Flo would lean in this direction occasionally.

Her character on "And Just Like That" wore a red Valentino to their fake Met Gala, so this bond makes sense, although she's popping up other places this week as well. I don't feel like I know what I'm looking at? A blouse and a... skirt? A dress made to look like a hybrid?

This might be the most ridiculous garment of the day. It's like a diaper with a collar, and I think her makeup is at least one shade too light for her skin tone.

This is fine! I'll take fine, after that last slide.

That's glam, too. Miss Flo should ALSO look in this direction. Which is not to say other folks should NOT get these outfits; just that I see these dresses as proof that the rut doesn't HAVE to be a rut. There ARE choices.

This is nice, too -- the clunky boots make it feel original. This actually feels rather Olivia Rodrigo to me.

HA HA. What. No. All she needs is bloomers and a princess in a tower to save.

I'd like this better if it had stood up to transport, but it's so crinkled.

The top is how it COULD look and the bottom is how it DOES look, and -- no pun intended -- it's clear which one works better.

That's a lovely dress. Whatever Denma is doing to make celebs forgive and forget the whole gross ad campaign, it's obviously working on her.
