all right! too bad she's kind of a terf!

yes PLEASE

this should be working for me, but it isn't, and I can NOT figure out why like it ALMOST is but it's not quite

another look of the night for me she's wearing a TIE you guys!!!

always happy to see a New Look reference (well. it's by Dior, so it's more of a revival, I guess)

killed it. spit on its corpse and left it for dead.

I love a textured velvet. It's a bit mossy, a bit ent couture, but I'm not really gonna complain

another CLEAR winner

I just think it's funny that Anna Sawai and Zendaya had basically the same idea

love a train but I think the suit would benefit from being more tightly fitted to contrast. the suit's fine on its own, but with the train, everything starts to look like it's slumping I also wish the whites matched

queen

How long until one of Those Guys shows up to yell at me for caring about this when JonBenét Ramsey’s murder is still unsolved It’s really just a matter of time

it’s funny how some of the Thom Browne this year is so bad and some, like this, is so good

I like what’s happening here: www.ewn.co.za/2025/05/06/m...

there is a ton of Ozwald Boateng this year and this isn’t even the best one

god the BOA also the tiny details like the blue collar and the gloves

chef, as they say, kiss

I like the deconstructed suit thing but I wish it had been leaned into more, since on first glance it doesn’t seem like anything special

R E M A R K A B L E E X Q U I S I T E

I actually really like these looks, I’m just not sure what they’re doing in this specific context

there are so many Shapes going on here

hm there’s a ton of Fear of God looks, and I like them all, but they feel so…monastic? compared to the extravagance elsewhere not a criticism exactly, it’s just odd to go from Thom Browne/Louis Vuitton luxury to this very simple, restrained draping

I like his look, so I think that’s possibly the first time Nick Jonas has contributed positively to my life

I’m super into this jangly color combination

love it, though I’d’ve expected him to be in something much more out there

hhhhhhhhhhhhnnnghhhhhhh

they should’ve let him dress approximately half the people here tbh

this sleeve

THE BOOB WINDOW

not sure how on theme this is (sometimes when I think something isn’t really there, it actually has a whole backstory), but it’s so gorgeous I’m not gonna complain

it’s giving villain in a gilded age comic and I’m here for it

see this is why Paul Tazewell should get to do whatever he wants forever

similar energy, somehow

this was actually the first thing I saw from this year’s gala and it got me so excited to see the rest

it’s funny how exhaustion sets in with these things where like, if I had seen this specific look an hour ago I’d be like OMG KING, but seeing it at this point I’m like nice okay next which is extremely unfair to a very good look

sorry but camp was 2019

okay I’m sure there’s a reason, they just look so out of place

LOVE the collar

shamefully into it

It’s funny how Stella McCartney put together a flawlessly on-theme look for Mary J. Blige and then…..didn’t do the same for herself

the cummerbund seems loose in a way I don’t like, but it’s great overall

powerful

thoroughly great. the contrast between color and structure, the balance of simplicity and intricacy (but not so intricate as to be fussy). amazing.

I do like a punchy color paired with simple black and white

some excellent color work happening here

*banging clipboard* zoot suits zoot suits zoot suits zoot suits zoot suits (LOVE the colors)

incredible work here

it’s like…I appreciate the effort but this falls in the same category as that earlier one where it just kind of reads like a character from an insufferable Lewis Carroll adaptation

I saw the one on the right earlier and fell instantly in love. The colors! The fabrics! The jewelry!

QUEEN

he ALWAYS knows what he’s doing

everything about this works, especially the mismatched halves of the jacket and even more especially that SUCCULENT jewelry situation

into it but he might have too slight a build for a fit this loose

color’s a little dull for her, I think, but on its own a great suit

god that pink though

YES FINALLY ONE OF MY OTHER FAVES, I love Robert Wun and he really did himself proud here

Fantastic color use here, the oxblood leather with that yellow?? yes please

okay a really good look but the black is….she shouldn’t wear black

I appreciate this more than I like it

god SO good

when you have riding to hounds at five and the opera at six

okay VERGING on the Alice in wonderland thing I keep complaining about but I think she’s making it work

as always I have to reiterate that, no matter the event, I know who maybe 1/4 of these people are, so if they’ve done something notably good OR notably bad the odds are I haven’t heard about it

The exaggerated proportions here—so good. Like a fashion illustration brought to life

damn that’s a statement for sure (and I’m always delighted to see a Christopher John Rogers)

the bow really makes this work

I just want like. One pop of color. Or even more jewelry. Something to wake it up

I like it but I wish there was a little more adventurousness happening

not sure what this has to do with anything but I’m so happy to see it

this is another case of looking absolutely stellar but not in a way that makes sense for the theme

more good colors hello

minor ground rule: I don’t mind disagreement, I do mind flat contradiction. if I’m clearly enthusiastic about something, what’s the point in telling me I’m wrong? would you do that irl? if yes, that’s rude and unpleasant and I hate you. if no, don’t do it here either.

want (the coat, that is)

I have been asked specifically what I think of Lorde’s choices here. interesting, especially going full backless, but maybe not as on theme as one might wish

So much done right. Especially that giant flower. And everything else

this is a lot of fun! I dunno about the bag, it looks like he has a plane to catch, but the rest of it!

There’s been a lot of Miu Miu this time but only a few of them have made sense to me without further research

Lupitaaaaaaa

I’m sad that the blue bow doesn’t go with the suit, it’s someone else behind him

An excellent silhouette

hhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii Keith

I don’t love the giant K but I DO feel like some part of me leveled up just looking at this
