She LOVES a bright trouser suit and this is one of my favorites of hers so far. Will she wear pants to the Oscars? That would be (hopefully) fantastic.

I love her and I do understand we're all doing Big Suits right now, but this might be a little TOO big? (I might be interested in seeing it as a dress, though.)

Every time I see him, I reflect anew on how perfect he is to take on the Will Smith role in the new Fresh Prince. They have a very similar body language. This suit is great.

I appreciate that Serena took a sort of low-key dress and decided to jazz it up with a compression sleeve. WHATEVER YOUR ARMS NEED, SERENA.

This is good on her; I also love her tiny shiny bag. ("Tiny Shiny Bag" is REM's lesser-known follow-up to "Shiny Happy People.")
