This is just A DELIGHT. It is perfect. Her eyeball-boob actually BLINKED as she went about her business. Like....it fluttered open and closed. It's glorious.

Siriano, in fact, BROUGHT IT this yet. This is also AMAZING and apparently it weighed a million pounds. (It actually weighs 100 pounds and he had to lay flat in the car to get over there; I can't imagine it's REALLY 100 pounds, how would he be able to walk around?) I feel like the pants should ride a tiny bit higher, but honestly, that's like saying, "I wish Chris Evans's beard were just a fraction thicker." This is great.

This is some Norma Desmond realness and I am here for it. Somehow, this was the first year Laverne got invited to the Met Gala? How can that be?

HOW GREAT IS THIS? I told all the youngs who read Cosmo to look up Victor/Victoria and I stand by that. This is just super. Damnit, Christian Sirino, you did good!

I said in Cosmo, and stand by this, that Cardi looks like an amazing Disney villain and I am here for that aesthetic at all times.

This skirt is amazing -- I think it was SUPER heavy and hard for her to walk in, she needed a ton of help to get around. I suspect the train actually comes off? But this is such a dramatic silhouette.

If you click in and look closely, I think this entire train unbuttons. The workmanship here is really neat. (It also is the only thing about it that feels Thom Browne-y to me; he loves to have button-off elements to his clothes.)

I jest, of course! This is VERY dramatic and over the top. Billy says he was inspired by Liz Taylor in Cleopatra, Flash Gordon, and the Egyptian Sun God, which IS quite a golden melange. Truly, this is quite amazing. HE HAS COMMITTED TO A THEME!

This is quite spectacular. (Our photo service noted that it is custom, which....I should think so.)

...and it eventually revealed THIS. This is really fascinatingly creative. I also think it may have happened on Passions. Now, listen, PASSIONS was campy.
