Glenn Close arrived at the Oscars 2019 in a bespoke Carolina Herrera. Glistening in the sun and the camera flashes, the hopeful nominee glided down the red carpet in a golden gown with crystals reportedly weighing more than 40 lbs (88 kg).

Despite my concerns about the dress color with the lady’s coloring, I think the real issue here is the huge amount of fabric in that cape. It did move beautifully, but I can’t help but want the fit to be a bit better around the waistline.

Here’s a great view of the mock up.

And then came the Vanity Fair party…the ultimate party invitation.

Cute, right? I was digging this gown until I discovered that it is <gasp> a JUMPSUIT.

Everything about this is perfect down to the lipstick. What say you?
