## Miranda Kerr

Miranda looks really, really charming in this beauty of a gown. It went down the runway in February, so clearly it wasn't borne of the theme, and I don't even know how to argue that it applies except for MAYBE that it has a large skirt. There is nothing avant-garde about it; this is sweetness in dress form.

Now, if the optical illusion had been REAL and it came with a giant white puffball oozing from the back, then we could talk. But that's just Janelle Monae exiting the scene.

## Zoe Kravitz

This doesn't really scream Oscar to me. Not that it HAS to... but, it's a dramatic eruption for sure, and given the theme (and the fact that I THINK this was custom?), I understand where they were going with it. But the fabric is unforgiving of imprecise work, and I think we're seeing the effects of that in the way it creases on her body. I don't know. I look at it and think, "I'm probably supposed to love this, but I can't commit."

Maybe it's because from the back, it looks like she's a Disney princess slowly getting undressed.

## Daisy Ridley

This is custom, but using a pattern that appeared in their runway show. It's quite tantalizing when it's laid out just-so on the stairs, but the poof in the front feels a bit like the lazy person's attempt at volume.

And from the front, the high-low and all the seaming don't play that well together. It looks almost childish, with the empire waist and tank bodice. If you're going CUSTOM for this event, I think it needs to have more imagination, or immaculate work, and this has neither. WAY HARSH, TAI, perhaps, but that's how I feel.

[Yes, There Were Some Oscar de la Renta Dresses at the Met GalaAnd at least one of them is lovely.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2017/05/gettyimages-675628232-1493778702.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/yes-there-were-some-oscar-de-la-renta-dresses-05-2017/)
