Here is my issue with the Temperley Cocktail Thing, I have figured out. They don't look THAT cocktail-y to me. But then I start thinking, "but what IS cocktail-y," and then I fall into a wormhole of weird sequined cocktail dresses and that's never going to work, so it's possible that I totally don't even know what I'm talking about. (Probable, even.) ANYWAY. She looks swell in this shot.

Kate is good at, at Tyra always recommends, making her own wind machine. I really like the dress here, as well. I think it's interesting.

If she'd shown up without the underslip, then we'd know that things were about to get really crazy up in here. People would be having their brains scanned at the moment. But the open work on the arms is saucy without being...SPICY.

I do think it's possible that this isn't standing up to the flash as well as it could, in the boobular region, in certain shots. It's apparently a "cotton yarn," and dark cotton yarn will do that to you. I could seriously start a blog called You Think You're Safe In a Black Top But It's Not True Because The Flash Will Get You, Dude, Every Time, but that URL is WAY too long.

I like how high the heel is on these Jimmy Choos. (Thanks to What Would Kate Do for the shoe ID, as well as the link to the on-sale info about the dress in the previous slide!)

I'm CERTAIN this photo was taken just so we could get a better look at the BAG. YES. THE BAG. (Actually, the bag is fab.)
