Lil Nas X in Andrea Grossi

This is VERY dramatic, obviously, and I appreciate that. He takes a lot of fashion risks, and it's appreciated. PopSugar had an interesting piece about this look, and the fabric used to create it, and I wish I could see it close up.

This was, by the way, shown on the runway as menswear; which you can see here.

Lil Nas in Richard Quinn

He did change at some point -- I'm always a little unsure about the logistics when a person walks the red carpet in two looks -- into this zesty Richard Quinn look that is also probably easier to maneuver.

Lil' Kim in D&G

As I noted: We've got an unfortunate lot of D&G in this post. They seem to be making a full court press with the stylists of the world to get back into the red carpet, and it's working. As far as this goes, I feel like it would have looked sleeker with pants instead of shorts.

Jennifer Hudson in D&G

This, too, is Dolce. I've always said that D&G is who you go to if you want to look like a dramatic widow, and at least here they are fulfilling the brief.

My not particularly brilliant take here, but one I need to share nonetheless, is that these belts seems so uncomfortable to me.

It's always fun to see the stylists making sure that their client looks perfect in their red carpet shots.

Taraji P Henson in Versace

I am personally VERY not a fan of this sheer boning bodice situation that seems to be popping up again, this is kind of fun and I'll take it over D&G.

Queen Latifah in Thom Browne

This is cool! She looks like the chicest Victorian governess -- the one who, it turns out, is actually also a vampire slayer.

Saweetie

This feels a bit like it's from a fashion line Princess Leia designed, based on her experiences in the gold bikini.

Ari Lennox in Bishme Cromartie

This is ALSO from that line, although more of a reference to Leia's classic white gown. I wish I could see this entire fashion line!

Mignon

This is fairly unimpeachable! Breezy AND fun.

Jazmine Sullivan in Gucci

This color is fab on her.

Ebony Obsidian

My note here is that I don't think she needs those gloves.

Latto

And I LOVE this, although her shoes are giving me massive anxiety.

Andra Day in Rosie Assoulin

And this is incredibly pretty -- romantic and summery.

It takes a lot to pull off that dropped waist. Gold star for Andra.

A round of applause for the return of drama on the red carpet.
