I love Kelis. Seriously.
She is never not fun. Here, I feel like she put on her Miu Miu shoes and her shiny, shiny shiny shiny mini-dress (which I secretly love a little bit), and thought, “huh. What am I missing? Giant cuff bracelets as a silent shout-out to my idol, Wonder Woman? No, I’m wearing those. My purse? I don’t believe in purses. OH I KNOW. I meant to wear a tremendous, crazy head-bow, so as to perhaps make my head look incredibly tiny OR to make people think I’ve grown some kind of complex and ultra-shiny hair-do. It’s called A CONVERSATION STARTER.”

New this fall on Fox! The Flying Nun in the 23rd Century, starring Kelis!
Haha, YES. I thought futuristic wimple! (Band name? Me thinks yes.)
All I can think to say is: Kelis, you are a delight!
[On a side note, did you hear Cameron on Modern Family use the "You are a delight!" expression in response to some sarcastic comment from Mitchel?]
@Libby, I did!!
What if Cam read TWOP?
i, not so secretly, love the dress.
Libby: Yes! I thought of GFY immediately!
It’s like Solange 2 years ago. Which is to say, cracky and FUN!
Without sleeves and tin foil, it’s the same as JLo’s white and pink tennis outfit. This looks much better here in all its resplendent glory. And the fact that the shoes with little sparkle spats to match the outfit exactly, that takes big swinging ones.
It’s Star Trek: The Disco Years. And yet I love it, minus the bow.
Sister Mary Futuretta, how could you.
I’m thinking you’ll have to say fifty Hail Marys and several dozen Our Fathers to make up for this. And that’s after confession.
How do you solve a problem like that wimple?
I totally love that dress– so SPARKLY. Though the neckline kind of makes me itch– I’d take it down to the collarbone and make it akin to a slight boatneck. Provided I were to ever wear something like this, which I totally would. Sparkle sparkle!
That’s a bow? I thought the waiter dropped her napkin on her head and she didn’t notice.
I do love a good sparkly dress. This is an ok sparkly dress, but it could have been so much worse so I kind of half love it. Not sure what’s going on with the sleeves- fancy cutouts?
I’d give the whole shebang thumbs up except for the head bow, which she kind of looks like she’s regretting anyway.
Am I think only one thinking, “Well, apparently KELIS can get reservations at Dorsia.”?
Add 2 inches to the length, subtract hair bow & cuffs, pull the sleeves down & boom! Instant fab.
OK I hate peep toe shoots (shoe-boots) but I love everything here including the shoots (April this would be no fun if it were really fab… now if it had random ladypart teasing holes… they we’d be talking) … It’s almost like Bai Ling’s (how many times can I mention her… I hope it’s like sympathetic magic and she’ll appear soon) not quite so exhibitionistic sister…
I love the face reflections from all that sparkly!
It’s fabulous and she’s FIERCE AS. How is she a fug and Kate boring beige Middleton/whatever is well played? Whatevs!!
It looks like a dress made out of jiffy pop, by which I mean it looks cheap and easily shreddable. Though i usually love sparkle, I cannot get behind this.
I not-so-secretly like that dress too! Everything else… FUGLY!
I love the dress and the shoes *not so secretly* but I hate that hot mess on her head
