First of all, how exciting it was that she won? [Her speech was so, so lovely](https://www.vulture.com/2014/03/watch-lupita-nyongo-tremendous-oscar-acceptance-speech.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and everyone's delight for her was infectious -- Benedict Cumberbatch actually *cried.* Seeing Bendywick Cumberbunches crying makes ME cry. Her date, her brother, was charming and delightful. She's just wonderful. That being said, I have gone back and forth and back again on this. I'm coming down, I think, on the side of this being quite lovely but not everything I wanted it to be. The color is great, and it moves beautifully -- so beautifully that I can't stop pulling photos of it -- but the cut of the bodice needs a necklace, and [it's a little too similar in shape to this,](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/ncaap-image-awards-and-more-well-played-lupita-nyongo-02-2014/) I think, and also I am not a fan of the headband. It skews it a little too twee, for me. I'm sure a lot of you will disagree, but for my money, this is just a solid B and not the smashing A+ I wanted it to be.
