Agree.

I am a long time fan of Armani. Not that I can afford a thing they create but I've always loved the approach to tailoring and fit they exhibit. I like it much more than Prada although Prada on the right person looks good.

That said this is the way to do sheer. Also the bodice fits perfectly and the actress, in my opinion, is styled better than the model in this case. The entire look is perfection.

Not a fan of that neckline, but agree with you about the subdued styling for the loud patttern! The runway look is questionable at best.

Usually there are only four studs in a set, but doesn't that button usually go under the cummerbund?

Not surprised that Mr. How-Much-Is-That-DOGE-in-the-Window is too stupid to know how to wear a tux.

He's been kicked out of DOGE so...

Absolutely stunning. Not just the dress, but the photography as well. You've reminded me of the fact that Cecil Beaton was a fantastic photographer, and not just in the area of fashion and portraits. I've already added the book Love, Cecil (Lisa Vreeland) to my wishlist

Carrie Underwood’s rendition of “America the Beautiful” at President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration went viral after being hit by technical difficulties, but all that extra attention failed to result in an increase in listenership for the American Idol winner.

In fact, her streaming numbers actually fell on Inauguration Day. According to entertainment data analysts Luminate, her music was streamed 1.46 million times on Monday January 20, down six percent from the previous Monday when it was streamed 1.55 million times.

Billboard reports that rapper Nelly, who performed at President Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball on Monday, also saw a decline in listenership. His songs were streamed 1.54 million times on inauguration day, down from 1.63 million a week earlier.

Both artists did see a small increase in digital download sales, although neither managed to top the 1,000 downloads mark that day.

Underwood received backlash on social media as soon as her performance at the event was announced. One fan wrote on X: “Carrie Underwood is [performing] at Trump’s inauguration so I’m blocking her on all apps and boycotting all her music.”

Another commented on a recent post on the singer’s Instagram account: “So gross that you’re supporting Trump! History won’t forget.”

In a statement to The Independent ahead of her performance, Underwood said: “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event.

“I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Nelly also faced a backlash over his decision to perform at one of Trump’s inaugural balls.

Appearing on the Willie D Live podcast to discuss the appearance, the rapper said: “What I will say about it is that I respect the office.

“This isn’t politics, the politics for me is over, he won. He’s the president, he’s the commander-in-chief. What I would like to say is that this is the best country in the world.”

Nelly went on to discuss his upbringing in St. Louis and how his father served in the Air Force.

“If these people can give their life for the office, Nelly can perform,” he explained. “It is an honor for me to perform for president of the United States, regardless of who is in office.”

These are some of the most beautiful gowns I've seen. Most of them actually appear to be wearable.
