This is gorgeous. The slit pants are always odd to me, but everything else... and the CAPE. It's fantastic. I always forget that Kid Cudi is so sartorially interesting.

This is one of my favorites of the night, honestly -- it's beautiful. And it got surprisingly little attention, possibly because Taylor Hill isn't as known a model? I'm sorry for not giving it more attention myself.

She said that her inspiration was literally The Gilded Age TV show, but modern. I'm not sure this actually fit that, but it's gold and it's trying something. I like it a lot better than the next dress we're going to see.

I never think much about Paco Rabanne, as a brand -- it always makes me think of drugstore cologne (they do MAKE cologne, I just don't know where they sell it) -- but that is a fabulous skirt.

I hate this. May I just say it that plainly? I'm being unfair to the nice aspects of it, I suppose; that bodice is boringly sheer and also just sort of hanging there and no.

I know they all got tested, but I can't help appreciating that someone else may have looked at this and thought, "That is a LOT of people and a LOT of close-talking, so I'm going to hang onto my mask."

I am not sure the addition of a headband/tiara situation makes this gilded glamour. This dress looks like it's inspired by when you pull cheese or bubble gum apart.

He told Emma Chamberlain, "The gilded periods are a little bit different for our stories. So, I wanted to highlight black women who have sacrificed for the country. So, I'm rocking their quilt right now." I believe it's also partly a tribute to Andre Leon Talley. He ALSO made a joke that he was told he could not wear Crocs and sweatpants, so I love that he basically found a fashion version of Crocs.

He said he's really feeling vampires right now, so he got custom fangs and custom contacts, and all I could think was... WHY, though? I guess he's a dramatic late 1800s bloodsucker?
