Alicia Keys

I was so confused why everyone was talking about Alicia Keys in the context of Hell's Kitchen, until I learned it's not the Gordon Ramsay joint but instead a new Off-Broadway musical for which she wrote the songs. And a well-reviewed one, too. She looks good in this, even though that's a lot of button action, but the high waisted pants REALLY seem to want us to believe she's got two waistbands going even though she does not.

I couldn't deny you the perfection of Angela's print, and face.

Maleah Joi Moon

She's the lead, and Variety called her a powerhouse, which is exciting. I assume she had all those buckets sewn into her pants and jacket so that she could collect the good reviews and associated laurels.

Ashton Sanders

This rolled in late from the GQ Men of the Year party. It's like... jeans with matching chaps over them, and also... honestly, I feel like this person took everyone else's denin and used it to make MORE denim. Like those hideous YouTube videos where somebody grinds up dried pasta, adds water and egg, and rolls it... into OTHER pasta. Both are abominations.

Heather Morris

That turtle is so PISSED that Heather Morris's jeans make her look bow-legged.

Ariana DeBose

This outfit isn't about the jeans, but they are PRESENT, and soothingly so. That might be a coat over another coat? Let's just call the pale blue one a cardigan.

Those seams really do want to point us RIGHT to her groin.

Carina Lepore

Do we think shin pockets are USEFUL, or PAINFUL, because everything you shove in them just thwaps against your legs whenever you take a step?

Renee Rapp

I do not think the effect is cute enough to justify reimagining the jean jacket.

Emma Hernan

We have to be a heartbeat away from the Oppenheim Group doing a Charlie's Angels /Selling Sunset themed holiday card. SURELY it's already happened, but if not, you can have that idea for free.
