On one hand, I think this is too up in Lena's face, in terms of its silhouette. On the other, she said she's meant to the be the blood splatter in Judith Slaying Holofernes, and that IS on Holofernes's neck, so!
Keke Palmer in Prabal Gurung

Eh...okay, I guess. (No, she looks fine! This is pretty. I love Keke and this color is great on her. It's perhaps a bit pedestrian?)

This one gets points for being surely VERY comfy.

I adore her and I hope she she had a blast. LV said this was meant to "reference vascularity, cell structure, and muscle tissue," which, I guess she is an athlete? Sure! It's like 2 am as I type this! You go with your cell structure!

He's promoting a new album and like every Instagram post was full of comments that read like they had been paid for. This opinion is free of charge: I think this is actually really cool, and he looks rad.

This is VERY "eh...okay, I guess." He's extremely handsome, which helps a LOT.

She said this was "human, vulnerable, and grounding," and I guess she IS barefoot. Facially, she looks amazing. Sartorially, I bet $5 she changed once she got inside because this looks perilous to wear.

$5 and I can tell you her favorite Oscar gown of all time.

Sometimes I wonder what Loewe is thinking. If you're going for whimsy, as they so often are, BE WHIMSICAL. This is kinda just deflated.
