She gets major points for the rebound from the GODAWFUL dress she wore at the telecast. I wish she'd just had on this one all night, but her piece on Vogue.com indicates that perhaps this one was very corseted and ergo maybe she wouldn't have been able to stand it all night.
She is nominated for the sheer dramatic, Dynasty flair of it all, and the fact that this is the most I've liked a Zac Posen in a while.
For the puzzle pieces, I salute this.
I'm surprised this works as well as it does. It's perfect on her.
I am NOT surprised this works as well as it does. WOW.
This dress maybe shouldn't have worked, and yet it's phenomenal on her, so she gets credit for audacity AND wisdom.
She looked good at the ceremony, but she changed; she sure doesn't look bad here, either, although y'all liked this a lot better than I did (her tulle is the color of dirty mop water).
Some of you thought the cleav level was trashy. While I understand that, I actually think she walked the line fairly successfully, especially considering everything else is covered -- and so nicely. Plus, the dark hair and immaculate lipstick... listen, I'm not excusing her Kardashian-ness, but I also can't let it keep me from being honest that this is good.
She always has interesting taste.
Drool.
DROOL.
Dear Patricia: Hot damn. What's it LIKE? Love, Us.
She often fights so hard against her own loveliness; FINALLY, she is playing into it with this.
Fug Nation voted this Really Freaking Cool Actually (I'm paraphrasing), and I agree.

A lot of our commenters went nuts for this, so here is your Sheryl!
Gorgeous.
