This is the slightly more vicious companion piece to [Nicole Kidman's crashing-wave gown](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/golden-globes-2017-nicole-kidman/74th-golden-globe-awards-arrivals-3?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and because I can't imagine wanting to wear either one, I'm struggling to decide which one I think is more effective. In the pro column for Nicole's, I think the lightness of it better sells any loveliness the sparkling silver wave might provide. But it's also just... a wave, and the puffed sleeves feel like silly afterthoughts; [the boning, very glaring](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/golden-globes-2017-nicole-kidman/74th-annual-golden-globe-awards-cocktail-reception?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Eva's has a little more flash, a little more drama -- it's a pirate ship, and it's probably going to capsize; it's called the Shipwreck dress, after all -- and plays to the aura she has of being a saucy evil spirit from the nether realm. But, all those lines, though they paint a picture, also detract from whatever elegance it was attempting. So in either case, something about the dress is undercutting itself even as it tries to create a mood. I'm inclined to give the win to Eva just because the idea of her wearing a capsizing boat makes me laugh, and joy is in short supply these days.
