This is a lovely, dramatic Valentino gown, full of retro-glam flavor, the likes of which belongs in a movie about a woman who throws a cocktail party to celebrate the death of a neighbor she hates... only for MORE MURDER to happen. It's possible this break from Thom Browne happened because[ she's already worn everything they have,](https://www.gofugyourself.com/celebs/janelle-monae?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) but regardless, it is a *nice* change (as was the other noteworthy one, [an Elie Saab from late last year](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/the-glass-onion-2/glass-onion-a-knives-out-mystery-film-premiere-los-angeles-california-usa-14-nov-2022-5?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)). Just because she CAN wear all that Thom Browne and generally not look ridiculous does not mean she NEEDS to; nothing against Mr. Browne, but may 2023 be a year of variety for her and for us all.

We DID still get a bunch of poses where she looks like she just felt an earthquake, but whatever, we can't win them all.
