This is the first time i can remember -- at least recently -- that they haven't color-coordinated, usually in black. That Kermit jacket is particularly exuberant, and I've never related more to a person that Audrey, who clearly didn't want to get out of bed and so decided to bring it with her.

Addison Rae

Informative Caption did not bother to find out who is with Addison here (she's in the middle) but they look like they're limp entrants in an Edgar Allen Poe costume contest.

Hi Kip! You look handsome.

Nadine Bhabha

Hi, Kip's friend Elena! What I wouldn't give for a lining.

Charli XCX

I'm counting this as pre-Grammys because it's the premiere for a mockumentary that Charli XCX made, starring herself. It does not sound like it's great, and accordingly, neither are her clothes.

Chappell Roan

For some reason Chappell is dressed as a nurse at a funky psych ward.

Kylie Jenner

That waistband looks like a craft project that fell apart on the way there. I honestly prefer the pile of hankies she's got on her chest.

Demi Lovato

Demi has put forth maybe30 percent effort here.

Noah Kahan

He always makes me smile.

Jessica Betts, Niecy Nash-Betts

Jessica Betts: always the coolest.

Brandy

She looks like she's 85 percent committed to being in disguise.

Billy Porter

Wow, he's been MIA for a while, yes? I know he was in Cabaret for a spell (in what I understand was a very unpopular turn?). That jacket is beautiful.

Ari Lennox

Well she certainly tried to MAKE this something, with the accessories.

I like the top! I wonder how the skirt would work if it became sheer more slowly, almost like an ombre effect.

Coco Jones

How cool! She kept a skirt around in case she needs it later.

Kehlani

I sort of like this, too. It's an instance where her tattoos also end up becoming elaborate accessories, in an effective way.

Dixie D'Amelio

I would not have recognized her. I always forger there are two D'Amelios. I definitely don't think her wearing swimwear is going to help.

Wedgies are NOT HOT FOR SPRING.

Isa Briones

This is simple and pretty, and a lot better than what she has worn to other major events.

I mean, okay, if that's what you really want.
