Remember when we ran out of things to say about sheers, and would just start talking about pizza? Suddenly I want to discuss not just every single person's make-your-own order, but also your personal favorite crusts.

Best-to-worst floss: 1) dental, 2) the dance I can't do, 3) this.

Leyna Bloom

It IS true that it's a swimsuit issue party, so it at least tracks that half the people attend looking like they're in designer poolside loungewear.

Leyna Bloom

She looks fantastic in this.

This feels busy -- I just want to snip off the extra bows.

Alex Aust

I wonder if people were given access to racks of stuff and/or the same stylists, because on this two-event weekend, we had this outfit show up twice.

Kristen Louelle Gaffney

I'm going to say she wore it best? Just because of the earrings.

Chelsea Heath

And then we had one lace jumpsuit...

Tanaye White

... and the exact same jumpsuit. (Right? The neckline is SLIGHTLY higher here but maybe that's down to height, or something?) She wins this clash for me. The belt is less obtrusive.

Tanaye White

But she looks sooooo great here. The dress is aggressively fine but she's completely sparkling around and through it.

Tanaye White

And then WOMP-WOMP. Such sophisticated commentary, I know. We could talk about deep-dish pizza. It's overrated for me.

Katie Austin

People are RELALY feeling these tops that wrap the boobs and the neck up tight and then just stop. I guess they have to stay on somehow.

Camille Kostek

... do we think she just walked around all night holding down half of her pants? She certainly did it in all her red carpet photos. How exhausting.

Camille Kostek

Is this really her? I mean... I buy it, and the caption says it, but her hair looks like a different color to me?

I don't really like the pizza meats. I'm more of a veggie person, which is weird, because in all other areas I like meat better than veggies.

Olivia Culpo in LaQuan Smith

Olivia was allll about the cutouts this year, whether it's going full Swiss Cheese...

Olivia Culpo

... or just Cruise Ship Porthole.

Tinashe in Di Petsa

I don't think the Seinfeld Puffy Shirt deserved this fate.

Tinashe

Here she looks dressed for the Spirit Team for the Seattle Seahawks, or something.

Saje Nicole

This dress is gorgeous.

Saje Nicole

And this one is, you know, pretty, but the cheese stuck to the lid of the delivery box.

Gabriella Halikas

That belt is doing literally nothing, and yet, it is also the thing I like best.

Allie Ayers

Wow, a slit that PERFECTLY frames her tattoo.

Allie Ayers

I know those are supposedly shorts, but they might be the laziest-made shorts in history.

Maggie Rawlins

Nope.

Kelsey Merritt

How do you feel about breadsticks? I don't like the ones that are basically just the crust in stick form. I want them to feel like a different food item.
