Mickey hosted the show -- we're going to cover her looks from the show later -- and she looks fab here. I might have given her some emeralds to pop against this, but...when wouldn't you give someone some emeralds?

She looks great but insert my usual blah blah about D&G, who are really making a big comeback. Props for the matching mask, though.
Lady A

Unlike Little Big town, I feel like these three are often technically coordinated but sometimes don't look like they're going to same party: Charles Kelley is going to a beer pong tournament (but in a hot way), Hillary Scott is going to her coven's 80s costume party (in a cute way), and Dave Haywood is heading into the office to pick up some mail.

I told you that we're heading to a big party dress season!

She was at an event at the Bluebird Cafe for part of this event, hence the jeans. This is cute, but maybe doesn't feel QUITE special enough for this event?

She did change, though, and I think she is ALSO going to this coven's costume party. I wish I had been invited.

This is rad and also I feel like Prince would approve, which us EXTRA rad.

Is EVERYONE going to Witchfest but me?!!?!?! (His suit is very cool.)

Sure! (Also, the dyed-to-match shoes are TRULY here to stay, a trend I personally reject but clearly I am not in charge.)

If you're one of the dudes who is NOT the dude in the middle here, do you resent him?

This look is very cool. He looks like the absolute chicest art director at your major media group, the person at the office who actually goes to art galleries and buys things there.

And the back of his jacket has a portrait of DMX.

This color is gorgeous on her -- and I love her grey streak! I do think it feels a tiny bit undercooked, styling-wise, and might need some jewelry. Or a very cool clutch?
