That is a brilliant deployment of a particularly ebullient Siriano outfit. As for Monet, there's something about going to all that trouble to have a bra whose straps won't poke out from the neckline, but then still fully being able to SEE the bra anyway.

Tunde! Her arms program on Peloton is legit and I wish she'd make a new one. This dress is beautiful. It may not QUITE fit her chest.

She seems to be a TV host. I LOVE that she dug out a Bob Mackie, and it's a stunning one.

That's a cool coat.

She looks like someone made her on The Sims.
Madisin Rian in Robert Wun

This looks like... a cowhide print, right? (There's a snakeskin situation in a later post that I meant to put in here and forgot.) This feels very Hunger Games somehow. Also Maura Higgins may want to borrow this.
Keltie Knight in Cavalli

This is a LOT but Cavalli is, by nature, a lot. And a perfect vibe for the VMAs, which strive to be so much more than A Lot but don't do it as well anymore because they're so poorly attended.

I don't know who this person is, but I just felt like you needed to experience this so that I would not be alone.
