NYE 2022

Ben Platt

I just... we know the super high rise is catnip to him -- he ran a Fug Madness campaign on it -- but the short hem AND the flare just really ice this crap cake for me. It's all very unflattering to him. The proportions carve him up.

AJ, Ben, Aly

I guess EVERYONE decided to drape themselves in khaki.

Halle Bailey

This jumpsuit feels more Young Ursula to me than Ariel. You KNOW Ursula hit the underwater clubs in her youth.

Maddie and Tae

Congrats to Tae (?) on finding a way to make the pelvis part of her tights be so important to her outfit. Maddie (?) looks like someone glued a red ribbon to her so that she'd belong to the color story.

Ciara

May ALL our dance pants start peeling to reveal sparkles underneath.

Betty Who

Excellent suit.

Fitz and Noelle Skaggs

Today I learned that they are Fitz and the Tantrums. Does this mean she is "the Tantrums"? I don't love that for her. I am also not completely convinced that "Fitz" isn't just Taran Killam in makeup.

Wiz Khalifa

"I mean, it says it right on my hat. I was obviously not gonna put on a suit."

Finneas

I like his shirt. It looks a bit like a beaded headdress flipped upside down.

Duran Duran

I am pleased to see Duran Duran looking suitably rock-n-roll, in giant coats and leather, but also sensible pants and shoes because let's face it that's how old we all are now. Nic Rhodes back there in the red and green is especially festive.

Jax

I am not clear on who Jax is or what she sings, but I LOVE her coat.

New Edition

And of course the lads from New Edition came out and sang their new single, "Violet Beauregard." (Yes I'm kidding.)

Dove Cameron

And Dove Cameron wore giant cuffs, which... sure! This portends a 2023 that's as wild as her 2022 was, and I co-run a site about bad fashion, so... obviously I'm okay with THAT.
