This skirt is objectively moving in the right direction, but it's sitting too low on her. And...what...is happening with the rest of it? The way the shirt is tucked in looks weird. The proportions are weird. This pairing is weird. This entire look is just a confusing mess. This cannot be what they envisioned when they began the creative process.

The back of this shirt is ALSO a mess. I truly would have just paired this skirt with a white tee or oxford shirt.

A PALATE CLEANSER. This is beyond delightful -- like a rainbow sherbet in a dress -- and she looks wonderful. I am charmed.
Dede Ayite

She is a costumer and this is appropriately dramatic. She looks like a beautiful sea creature and it was also fun to see the top of this dress in the corners of the show's telecast.
Darren Criss

Darren Criss is now halfway to EGOT! (I think the Oscar is going to be the tough one there but he's young.) This is glam. Do we think he needs a shirt?
Jak Malone

Jak gave a totally WONDERFUL speech (which included thanking his dog, who is named Dracula!!) and I like his suit AND his lipstick.

She plays the lead in Boop and she looks GREAT in this. The rainbow underskirt feels especially charming for Pride.

I don't dislike this -- it feels very Metropolitan -- but I almost wish it were tea length. Thoughts?

DRAMATIC. (Where else to deploy something so theatrical, though, I ask you?)
Morgan Marcell in Michael Fausto

This pattern is fun but I think it needed to be one piece. (Or have a plain shirt involved.)

Zippy!

She looks adorable in this AND also that bodice would make really cute whimsical place mats.

This is the gown of a woman who knows she will not win. (She did not.) (It's okay, she won last year.)

Never shall I complain about stripes.

SNAZZY. Also, those shoes are metallic -- almost always the right call.

Lea Salonga needs a moisturizer endorsement deal because she HAS NOT AGED MY GOD.

She just had a baby! I love this dress and it would make terrific wallpaper. (I might have undone the top button?)
