I came in here all het up about what a blah color I think this is -- it's like dishwater-mint -- and then I stared at her and suddenly I kind of liked this. CATE. You really DO do that voodoo so well.

Yes, that's a jumpsuit, and yes, I think JULIA! looks freaking amazing in it.

I think this is ALSO a jumpsuit, and she ALSO looks pretty good in it except for the shoes. (Should be silver, right?)

This is McQueen, and I knew that, but I still accidentally wrote Julien Macdonald because it looks so much like his work: gorgeous detail, and also wants to present the wearer's crotch to us all. Naomi is a model, and a legendary one; this interpretation of fashion feels very passe to me and I would have loved to see her try something avant garde, even if it was bad.

This, just as the leather tube dress, would have been enough if she'd just resisted the urge to let a 4-year old scribble on her face and call it makeup. The totality of it, though, is gobbling her up.

You know exactly what I'm going to say about that otherwise very beautifully made skirt, but that bra might be... baggy? If that's all you're going to do as a shirt, do it RIGHT at least.

This is fabulously styled. The ring and earrings, the lipstick, the bob... this is simple but somehow not at all boring. Bottega Veneta was also the big winner of the night, so a good one all around.

Is that ONE giant hip pouch? Well, one is enough. This dress really did not need a floppy portion. Since it had one, I hope she used it to smuggle out entire bottles of alcohol.

And this is what I always think of as a thong dress -- in that it makes her cleavage look like a bethonged backside.

I wrote that this was Olivia Palermo at first, which somehow I think would annoy BOTH Olivias. This is fine, but her boobs look like they're about to bat their giant eyelashes.

While I don't love the lace patches on this, I DO think this entire Society Matron Whose Elderly Husband Is Close To Death And She's Only Sort of Sad About It really works on her.

Might as well put a literal bow on things here. I like this, and also am amused at how it doesn't jibe with her RROWR facial expression.
