Featuring: Erykah Badu Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com Look, I'll be honest. I was never much good at finding meaning from text, much less from fashion, and that's one of the reasons I am not able to critique a runway show from any perspective other than the layperson's ("I feel like I've seen this before," or, "Wow that's insane," or, "Not very cohesive," the latter of which I only learned from *Project Runway*). So I would have missed Rick Owens' meaning, and just come away from that show thinking, "Holy cats, that was EXPANSIVELY WEIRD." Or expensively weird. BOTH. I appreciate that he was apparently trying to make a statement about women fighting back, but I also feel like women could fight back instuff that isn't made of duct tape and various other things one might find in an emergency vehicle. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/d7243367784-1542692108.jpg) USA Rights Only - Las Vegas, USA -20181117- Soul Train Awards 2018 -PICTURED: Erykah Badu -PHOTO by: PA Images/INSTARimages.com -39774435.JPG This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

Or... is it a gag? I... do not know. It may be a statement on feeling muzzled or objectified, or honestly, maybe she also needed to get in an extra 20 minutes with her orthodontic alignment apparatus. ## Erykah Badu ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/shutterstock_9983761w-1542693552.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup/REX/Shutterstock (9983761w) Erykah Badu Soul Train Awards, Show, Las Vegas, USA - 17 Nov 2018 This statement may even be MORE direct than the previous slide. ## Erykah Badu ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/shutterstock_9983761af-1542693511.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup/REX/Shutterstock (9983761af) Erykah Badu Soul Train Awards, Show, Las Vegas, USA - 17 Nov 2018 She performed inside as well.

Featuring: KJ Smith Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com KJ has been on *Queen Sugar* and *Dynasty*, and her IMDb page says she "is considered to be one of the most engaging budding actresses of her time." This may be true, as she certainly has a long list of credits. But all I know is, she is engaging both suspenders, and a shoelace as underwise. ## Aaliyah Jay ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/wenn35665399-1542692120.jpg) 2018 Soul Train Awards at the Orleans Arena, part of the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Featuring: Aaliyah Jay Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com She's a YouTuber who says of herself, "I'm not into fashion. Fashion is into me." Well, that first statement is for sure true. ## Vanessa Fractiion ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/wenn35665418-1542692173.jpg) 2018 Soul Train Awards at the Orleans Arena, part of the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Featuring: Tisha Campbell Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com Tisha hosted this with Tichina Arnold. This seemingly stretchy sparkly jumpsuit is surprisingly well fitted to her, but I wish the v-neck was narrower. The sheer width of it is distracting. ## Tichina Arnold ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/wenn35665415-1542692156.jpg) 2018 Soul Train Awards at the Orleans Arena, part of the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Featuring: Valarie Pettiford Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com I nearly didn't recognize her. (She played Coumbus Short's aunt in *Stomp The Yard*, although I know her from her soap days.) I enjoy that she brought some major gala drama with this dress, and some lovely hankies for her armpits in the event that they became emotional or needed to sneeze. ## Justine Skye ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/wenn35665419-1542692184.jpg) 2018 Soul Train Awards at the Orleans Arena, part of the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Featuring: Ari Lennox Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com She has a song on the Creed II soundtrack. I don't really like the mesh-bag aspect of this dress, but I also dig the color on her and think she looks pretty good in it. ## Dani Wright ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/wenn35665405-1542692146.jpg) 2018 Soul Train Awards at the Orleans Arena, part of the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Featuring: Dani Wright Where: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States When: 17 Nov 2018 Credit: DJDM/WENN.com I do not know who she is. But SHE seems pretty comfortable in that knowledge, and that's all that matters. Well, no; it also matters that I am very afraid of what that skirt is doing in her crotch region. ## Faith Evans ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/11/wenn35665472-1542692290.jpg) 2018 Soul Train Awards at the Orleans Arena, part of the Orleans Hotel & Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
