Honestly, I just want audio of the conversation with Doja and her team discussing whether or not to do the nipple covers for Time magazine or not. This is basically exactly as it was styled on the runway -- except no nips -- and I think she's carrying it off but only because Doja Cat is VERY charming. Objectively this dress veers ALL over the place. This dress is texting while driving, emotionally.

This is giving me Kicky Young Catholic Cardinal and I honestly think Aubrey would be fine with that reference!

DING DONG. Molly Ringwald enters the Sexy Tootsie discourse with a BANG!

Lindsey Vonn

I sincerely think Lindsey Vonn must have changed stylists over the last year or so -- or her current stylist finally got through to her --because she's been looking really good. And this is maybe a personal best. This dress isn't revolutionary, but it's REALLY good on her.

Jennifer Coolidge

This feels very much in her wheelhouse. It's a good wheelhouse! Got no problems with this wheelhouse!

Tiffany Haddish

She wears this silhouette a lot -- and with good reason. This is very slinky and good on her.

Natasha Lyonne

This is very fun. It might need a slight steam, but, like...things happen.

Helena Christensen

You know she actually owns this one.

Mikaela Shiffrin

Ironically, I feel like Mikaela is currently dressing like Lindsey Vonn of Yore.

Ashley Graham

Sometimes I sit here and think about the fact that my job involves typing the sentence, "those strings are kinda fun." To me, this look is mostly about her face. Which is great.

Lea Michele in Thierry Mugler from 1999

Okay but...this is spectacular on her. It's a gorgeous dress and she looks like Cinderella. I'M SORRY BUT IT'S TRUE.

Salma Hayek Pinault

This reminds me that Salma was in Wild, Wild West, a film I tangentially worked on via the high-end fabric store for which I worked at the time. It was A NIGHTMARE to work on.

Padma Lakshmi

This is very pretty, even if it does need a bit of a hoik, and this snap makes Padma look like she just remembered that she left the panini maker turned on.

Drew Barrymore

This is absolutely right for her brand. Absolutely.

Katie Couric

This is fine. Carry on, Katie.

Kim Kardashian

With apologies to her haters: She looks fantastic here.

Ali Wong

This is a big finish! I love it.
