This.. doesn't look that fun to party in? Maybe if she traded in the death traps on her feet, and then scouted out some pants.

She's with Sergio Hudson, who designed her gala dress as well as this little rainbow number. Keke Palmer's blossoming from Fug Madness winner to fierce fashionista has been DELIGHTFUL to witness.

I guess this is the casual version of what she wore on the red carpet. I think... on balance, this whole night did not go as Rihanna might have hoped. The EXTREME lateness of her arrival, and the only-okay outfit, did not lead to the coronation I think she might have expected.

I don't know why I can ONLY see through her waistband? But this would be so much nicer if I were not staring at her underpants.

SPEAKING OF. This is a dupe of a vintage Chanel outfit, and it's extremely on-brand that the big change she made is going from full-coverage fake underpants to a thong version. Also... just because you can doesn't mean you should etc.

SAY IT AGAIN LOUDER FOR THE KIDS IN THE BACK. Also, this is custom. She had to REALLY WANT THIS. For reasons that are impossible to fathom.

This is vintage Chanel sourced from Tab Vintage, and it's perfect for her. Her hair and makeup are also much better here than they were at the Gala; they maybe went a little too kooky with that.

I ALMOST feel badly about how much we tore into her and Derek Blasberg's efforts. ALMOST. The thing is, there's no way they didn't both know it was a shitshow. She looks fine here.

Many folks wondered where Coco was at the Gala. She and Karl certainly worked together a lot. But a lot of name models didn't attend the Gala itself. We may never know why; Coco doesn't seem like she'd have been doing it out of protest? I enjoy this OTT soap villain outfit.

The Coco scorecard reads Afterparties 2, Gala 0. Also... have we found hair that Coco cannot quite carry? I didn't think it existed, but it might be... whatever this is.

I might have liked it if she'd worn this inside. It's a common theme but it's also different for her, and what she ended up wearing was so... standard.

I forgot they know each other from Glass Onion. It's weird to see some of the big names who were NOT at the Gala but wanted to come to the parties. Did they turn down the Gala? Or not get invited? I cannot imagine Kate Hudson turning down anything like that, but who knows.
