I can see why she picked this. It's pretty magical on her. The way the ruffles cascade is just perfect.

The sparkly catsuit and cape ALSO would have been fun to work on the red carpet at an event like this, which SHOULD have a very high capacity for red carpet shenanigans. I might have deployed the hat with a different outfit, though. Like perhaps...

... this one, where it might have echoed or complemented the lines of the pleats. I think Robert Wun is doing some amazing, precise work, but this iteration feels a LITTLE bit like a duvet mated with a sea creature.

I will say this: Pacey looks better-rested and just generally better than the last red carpet he walked, so ideally all is well, and the rumors and the long absences are all BS (or a thing of the past) and the latest joint J.

I LOVED how they used to look at each other, as if they couldn't believe how lucky they were AND as if they couldn't wait to rip each other's clothes off later.

This is SLIGHTLY less warm of a vibe than we are used to, but also, they're walking, so it's... functional? And she's probably cold because she's wearing, like, stretch lace. Anyway, you are all now up to speed.
