This is kicky. I do love Party Fringe, and a frock that doesn't swallow her up.

This reminds me of nursery school, when kids generally always put on tutus over anything and everything.

This has to be a huge pain in the bum to wear, but worth it for the pictures. I hope someone had, like, arm bustles for those things, so she could tie them back and enjoy a tiny tuna tartare or three.

This is way too much, and honestly, the one part I'd have kept is the purse.

He knows his way around a funky suit. And also apparently an ab roller.

Sure, fine, whatever. I never like sheers, but also -- unexpectedly -- sometimes when I see an outfit that only goes halfway, I'm like, "OH JUST ORDER THE WHOLE PIZZA YOU COWARDS."

She shares a stylist with some of the KardJenners, and this is one of the times I can really tell. Having said that, I also like this a billion times more than what she wore to the actual Grammys, even if the hem just looks like jersey sheets that plopped out of your arms when you were carrying them to the laundry.

There is some fascinating leatherwork here, and then also a bodice that 100 percent misses on size.

HIs jacket is nifty, too. We didn't see a TON of it because the two of them were hugging up on each other a loooot on this red carpet. I felt badly that my first instinct was to wonder if there are more cheating rumors.

This is a hilariously cartoonish Gucci from 2016. She certainly did not choose a timeless option.

Several people reached for Paco Rabanne, which I have to assume is a tribute, as the man himself passed away. This is perfect on her. I LOVE an oxblood situation.

This looks less like an outfit, and more like she was just granted membership into an exclusive underground society that drapes you in robes after you pass the initiation.

She won Best New Artist later that night, and gave a lovely speech about how validating and moving it is to be honored for being yourself. This dress pattern is so cool and I feel badly that I didn't get a better picture of her.

This might have needed a better support structure, but it has a real diva quality. This woman lets guests use the crystal barware on the regular, and has a doorman who knows her Balthazar order.

I was going to wonder whether we're hanging skirts from our bras right now, but I guess... you could tease that out into every dress being a skirt hanging from a bra.
