So, why didn't this -- which I think must be an homage; there is a black CdG outfit I saw on instagram that I can't find now -- impress the way Rihanna's did? Part of it comes down to Katy herself, I think. She looked uncomfortable in it. Some of the photos of her trying to wrangle it were awkward. Rihanna's was also architecturally complicated, but she made it look like a thrill ride to wear, and Katy just seemed bogged down. For me that's a huge part of it: The clothes seem like work.

It's just... for another night, maybe, if it weren't so crinkled, but it's too tight and too blah and she's not even TRYING.

Good grief.

And did Kendall Google Kawakubo OR La Perla? In what universe was this a good idea?
