Lorde in Monique Lhuillier at the 2017 VMAS

It's important to note that Lorde had the flu, so if she looks a little facially wan....I think she FELT a little bodily wan. Regardless, this dress is just a killer.

This is so romantic on her. It's a fun tonal change. I'm sure it's not a permanent alteration of her style as much as it is that she's young, and it's fun to wear a ballgown, but I love it.

This TRAIN! Swoon.

But it takes a village. I love this photo of her stylist, Karla Welch (in her new line of Hanes tee shirts), arranging her train. None of this happens without a ton of hard work behind the scenes.

Big finish!

Lorde's Monique Lhuillier is a Hit at the VMAs

This is an unexpected delight.
