That top looks like a very glamorous venus flytrap has decided to chow down on the rest of her.

Maria Bakalova

This is probably on Emily in Paris's moodboard, which means I am almost automatically laughing at it. It's so MUCH.

Melissa George

Yes, Armani, you're all in Paris, WE KNOW. All this needs to complete the visual stereotype is a smear of brie and a chunk of baguette hanging from her teeth.

Ashley Park

So, I watched most of Girls 5 Eva, and I can't help wondering if that show wishes it could trade Busy Philipps's character and keep Ashley Park's. Age-wise I know that doesn't work, but Busy is jarringly WAY TOO MUCH on that show (for me anyway; the voice she puts on has got to go) and Ashley is basically the only GOOD thing about Emily in Paris -- she's very charming -- and so I hope in season two they manage MANY flashbacks or reveal that she faked her own death. (I haven't seen the last two episodes so maybe I will hold out hope that this is already revealed.) In sum: This isn't magical but it's better than the first two outfits.

Zipping over to Karl's former stomping grounds, we have the star of Normal People, looking... appropriately normal in a non-bizarre Chanel. I quite like it.
