Nicki Minaj in Burberry

It is very hard to judge this, but... suffice to say that leather is not something I associate with gilded glamour? Maybe the feathers are meant to evoke an era where that stuff was more commonplace, but otherwise, this just sorta feels like they designed whatever they felt like designing. Which, whatever, but at least make it fit. That... should be Designing 101.

You are FRIENDS with her, Riccardo! She had her baby eight months ago, so if her boobs changed, that's plenty of time to measure her!

I honestly think she is a good sport for trying to wear this as-is. You cannot argue she didn't do her level best. The Vogue interview was at the top of the stairs, so I think that was the first time she could tell -- versus taking someone's word for it -- just how much was on the verge of showing.

The hat with the built-in headband is a puzzler. Agnes Van Rhijn would NEVER.

Cara Delevingne in Dior

This is cute enough -- she looks like a huckster who's coming to town to sell everyone a monorail to nowhere, though the jacket is the star and the pants are very much Whatever. So of COURSE the jacket is the part she doffed.

And, she self-gilded. Those are JUST boob pasties. Although, I'm so used to stuff like this from Cara -- who I think fancies herself Miley Cyrus when Miley is busy -- that my first thought here was, "Her shoe color really does not work with this."

Naomi Campbell in Burberry

Back to Burberry: I gather that's the Burberry logo plastered all over her gown. This has 10,000 crystals on it, and I don't even know if that includes the ones she put on her face.

I thought you might want a close-up of the frosting.

Bella Hadid in Burberry

This feels more like an interpretation of Madonna.

Kate Moss in Burberry

This is the best of the Burberry stuff, I think, possibly because it takes the idea of their classic trench and reinterprets it (if, admittedly, in a way I associate more with perhaps Dior or Tom Ford).

Stormzy in Burberry

Church is now in session, and indeed, Tisci does have some sins to confess.

Bad Bunny in Burberry

I sincerely thought he was Darren Criss for a second. This is giving me Marilla Cuthbert Goes to the City.

Rosalia in Givenchy

Givenchy's stock has really slid -- emotionally, I mean, or reputationally -- and so it's noteworthy how underrepresented they are. (I think this began with Clare Waight Keller's tenure, because Tisci had a lot of celebrity pals who I think left with him, but Matthew Williams has not improved things.) This at least feels sparkly and slightly art deco and expensively feathered, though I can't say I think it's particularly attractive? It DID photograph better than it looked when she stopped for an interview.

Karlie Kloss in Givenchy

That's a big ol' MEH from me.

Jack Harlow in Givenchy

He's modeling the chocolate color of the year. But with zero zest or particular point of view at all.

Elizabeth Debicki in Dior

It's been so long since I've seen her that I actually didn't recognize her. I will also forget this happened pretty much as soon as I go to the next silde.

Thomas Doherty in Dior

This is quite smart.

Kieran Culkin

And this is...you know. Roman Roy.

Both Nicki Minaj and Cara Delevingne Went Very Boobs-Forward at the Met Gala

But only one did it intentionally.
