She started out the year as a very sparkly, dramatic referee, which is apt since we are throwing a flag on some of 2017.

This has a saucy "Into the Woods" kind of feel.

I cannot. This Dior line was a scourge. A SCOURGE.

GOOD GOD, her quads. Also, this is bonkers. It looks like when you diagram an animal to explain which parts create which cuts of meat.

A dress designed to look like your clothes are falling off. OKAY. IF YOU SAY SO. EYEROLL EMOJI.
in Jason Wu

I don't totally get why this has to not line up, but she looks terrific in it, and the beige shoes are at least interesting. I'd count this as one of her (comparative) hits
in Tory Burch

NOPE. This is one of those that I legitimately don't believe she'd ever have worn on her own, had someone not pressed the freebie upon her.

THE WORST. It should not surprise you how much I dislike this. She's urinating fabric.
in Cavalli
That top is SO Playboy Bunny to me.

I do love the front of this gorgeous Prada, even though it wasn't particularly on-theme for Rei Kawakubo.

The back could have done without the bra strap.
in Dior
Possibly the best thing she wore all year.
in Emilia Wickstead
Sunglasses that seem to have 3D lenses do NOT make everyone look hotter, and this outfit is the biggest Pepto mess. Her PANTS are practically providing underwire support.
in McQueen
I wish this had just been a gown.
in Jason Wu
This is beautiful detailing, and not actually sheer as implied, but I don't know why it has to have MULTIPLE LAYERS of implications.
in BOSS
This is pretty good, though, largely because the shoes appeal to the biker that dwells deep within me (a biker who would refuse to ride actual bikes, but likes tough-looking metal accessories).
in Jonathan Simkhai
in Monse
This looks like someone hurled a Goldschlager milkshake at her in a rage.
in Louis Vuitton
This is not NEARLY as repugnant as the recent slate of LVs, but it's also a bit intense. She's carrying it, though.
in Prabal
No no no no no no no.

This also looks good on her, but like she sawed off the rest of the skirt with a butter knife at dinner.

I SORT OF like this? But it's squeezing her boobs into her armpits, especially on her left side.

This is so much leather. Crotch leather AND boob leather AND three-quarters of a skirt.

9th Annual AMPAS Governors Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 11 Nov 2017
I can't decide if I like this. It's VERY Lady Holiday from The Great Muppet Caper, which was GLORIOUS when I was a kid but as an adult I agree with her that there are perhaps too many furbelows.

This was the dress where it was revealed the sleeves are open. It was bad before, and it was WORSE once we learned.
