This is just magnificent. I LOVE it. And she never, ever disappears into these bigger-than-life gowns. She's still verty much in charge here.

I've decided these guys miss being at Cammes and are itching for the overhead angles.

Unfortunately this is the only photo I've seen of this gown so far, so I can't really TELL if I like it. I think... whatever is happening over her thighs is curious, but the rest had potential? I also enjoy the fierce experession on Lucas Hedges' face while he (I assume) dances alone for her.

That's a pretty idea that PERHAPS does not fly. It seems tight on her chest, doesn't it? She had to sing that night. DO NOT PINCH THE TALENT.

## In J. Crew

This one is from a couple days ago, but I think it slipped through the cracks. (If not, then you get to see it again.) They're like loud PJs. I can't say I LOVE this, exactly? But I'm again impressed at how much color and general business -- or busyness, or both - she can carry without getting lost in it.

[Oscars Weekend: Cynthia Erivo Nearly Stole The (Red Carpet) ShowYou know, conventional wisdom says that when you're not nominated, or if you're the plus-one of someone who is, you shouldn't dress for maximum attention because it's not your night. Know what I say to that? SCREW IT. (There was no controversy about this last night, by the way, or at least none that I heard; I was just mulling it on my own, and decided that my slow souring on that point of view is correct.) Wear whatever the hell you want, ladies and gents, because everyone deserves to be and feel celebrated. If anyone's threatened by your light, they are welcome to turn up their own. \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2017/02/gettyimages-645634092-1488224028.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/oscars-weekend-cynthia-erivo-nearly-stole-the-red-carpet-show-02-2017/)
