Danielle Brooks

Check it out! Tony Nominee Danielle Brooks! Looking like a TOTAL GODDESS in that caftan.

She also stomped down the runway in high style. It DOES seem mean to make them walk on turf in heels, though. Maybe it was artificial.

I think she was Feeling It.

Ashley Graham

I don't like this as well, but it's completely Christian Siriano attempting to bring the pizza trend to the plus market. And listen, why not I'm not a fan of it on any person, especially, but that doesn't mean I'm not democratic about everyone getting to decide that for him or herself.

She looks pretty in this. That lipstick rocks.

Amber Riley

I didn't realize until I started writing the slideshow that she is wearing the dress Ashley just modeled. I think it might even look better on her.

Sherri Shepherd

Three cheers to her for pairing bright pink shoes with the limeade frock.

I don't know about the red purse with this, but I like the rest of it a lot. You know how I feel about houndstooth. The hotel key at The Balmoral was houndstooth on one side and I thought about keeping it for that reason. WHY. WHY WOULD I DO THAT. IT DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.

This woman looks lovely. It's a very simple cut, but it's pretty, and the color is flattering.

Love the pattern and the lipstick; sympathize deeply with how she probably had to spit her hair off her lips the whole way up and down the runway.

I have never been good at mixing patterns. I appreciate this effort.

I ALSO love that he's flouting the whole Horizontal Stripes myth. Go forth and stripe it up, ladies, however you see fit.

High Fugshion: Christian Siriano for Lane Bryant

Not enough credit is given to Christian Siriano for his willingness to dress every and any body type. Some designers treat that as an alien concept; he never does. However you feel about diffusion lines in general, remember that Christian was one of the first to offer real fashion to Christina Hendricks -- who should NEVER, by the way, have been seen as a challenge -- and the front rows at his fashion shows constantly showcase a whole range of women in all different shapes. And not for nothing, Christian going after mass-appeal stuff like Payless and Lane Bryant seems really smart to me, in the vein of Michael Kors' partnership with Macy's. I don't know the economics of it, particularly, but it burnishes his image as a Designer of the People who just wants to balance the sky-high couture price tags with affordable nice things that make the wearer feel good.
