Regina King

This is an ankle/capri-length jumpsuit, I think? With a waist tie? So those are things I don't typically adore. And yet I think she looks fabulous in this, so go figure. Maybe I'm growing.

Angela Bassett

Those shoes look like a torture device.

KiKi Layne

This is very quilted. She looks adorable, generally -- she is selling this, and in a way I think the OTT styling is what's helping that -- but I can't say I love either of these pieces. It's very 1970s couch.

Laura Harrier

I am not sure I think this was a midriff event, really, either? Not least because it was a lunch. You know what I don't want to look at when I'm eating lunch? My stomach.

Sherri Shepherd

Am I crazy or is she only wearing a bra on one side?

Amandla Stenberg

She looks great, but someone REALLY needed to shorten those sleeves. 

Billy Porter

He looks like a fabulous diva in this, and I hope there was some kind of hat face-off with...

Nafessa Williams

... Nafessa, who showed up doing Janelle Monae meets Eliza Doolittle at Royal Ascot.

Skai Jackson

At least she looks warm? This a very fanciful American Girl Doll Goes To A Party situation. 

Eva Marcille

Eva the Diva! She's in the Housewives version of what Skai is wearing (and is, indeed, on the Atlanta version of that franchise).

Regina Hall

This might have worked for me if the dress had not been open below the sparkly harness. It also seems to be perfectly framing her navel, which... this is DEFINITELY not a navel function, right?

Yaya

Her dress isn't my favorite, but this whole look would be zinger for me if her hair were not that color.

Meagan Good

And I legit barely recognized her. It's clear she is still very committed to sports bra tops.

Maxine Waters

I wonder how many people walk up to her in a given day and squeal, "RECLAIM YOUR TIME! I AM RECLAIMING MY TIME!!!!"

Amber Riley

I mean, you know I very rarely think anything is a visible-bra kind of function. This would have been so groovy with a real shirt.

Octavia Spencer

That dress looks very American Apparel Basics to me, but the jacket interesting... but since it's kind of the only zing here, I think it ought to be a different color, rather than a clashing grey. How about oxblood?

Kelly Rowland

Sure!

Logan Browning

That is swingy and swishy and fun, but needs a bracelet or necklace.

Jenifer Lewis

"BRACELETS AND NECKLACES FOR ALL!!!!"
