Wearable Art Gala

Tiffany Haddish

I get a huge kick out of this, because the hat looks like a giant furry evil halo, and the bodice like Satan's fire. She's a DEMON ANGEL and I'm into it.

Tiffany must have hosted, because she had a costume change. And they ARE costumes. They're cool and they're large and this looks like it was an extremely fun party -- like a less snooty Met Gala.

Kelly Rowland

At this point, just free your legs, Kelly. Unclamp your boot-socks and give yourself one less thing to worry about.

Michelle Williams

Michelle may actually just have dressed as if this WERE the Met Gala.

Tina Knowles

Ditto Tina. This is awesome on her, though. She is more than holding her own as a giant bird.

Bianca Lawson

I am sure we have discussed the fact that Bianca Lawson is Beyonce's stepsister, but... somehow it felt like brand-new information to me.

Issa Rae

Another cool dress that stumbles over the question, "But aren't UNDERPANTS more interesting?!?" No. No they are not.

Robin Givens

Wait, is that more underwear, or just a suggestive section of the lining, or...? She looks very cool otherwise but we don't NEED one more thing to be contemplating here, y'all.

Essence Atkins

I both love this, and the fact that she found shoes to go with it

Lena Waithe

This feels mildly like punting from someone we've seen at the actual Met Gala wearing wonderful stuff.

Marsai Martin

She has a cool sense of style, but that very womanly bodice on a 14-year old is tripping my Pearl Clutcher alarm.

Maxwell

Because of the backdrop, I keep thinking the top of his head is missing.

Tyler Perry

I was going to applaud Tyler for going for comfort, but is that perhaps tight on him?

Aisha Hinds

I can see where there was fun in this idea, but unfortunately, you can just NEVER trust mice to do the work of a Fairy Godmother. They are ALWAYS lying on their resumes.

Daniel Kaluuya

These two look fabulous. Her dress is wearable art indeed -- it's incredible.

Holly Robinson Peete

Did she need the mosquito netting?

This just looks like he put a lion patch on a smoking jacket and then accidentally shrank his pants.

That's pretty slick, though.

Lela Rochon

I wish her dress had picked one material or the other. Or perhaps just stuck with the sleek cut and used the pattern to accent it differently.

Star Jones

In some ways, I think Star Jones considers herself the Celine Dion of the legal profession.

MC Hammer

A lot of this IS too legit to quit, it's true

Vanessa Williams

This looks more like Wearable Craft Project than art, per se, but she's bringing a lot of joy to it.

Viola Davis

Viola looks very cool but disappointingly low-key, considering the lengths everyone else went to here. I love you, Viola; call Beyonce's people and have them whip you up a lion cub or something.

Vanessa Bell Calloway

I mean. Nothing against Vanessa, who is working it, but imagine Viola in THIS.
