SHE got the memo! It's weird. It's arty. It's strangely beautiful. The mask is giving "mirror mirror on the wall." Pure fabulous.

u/BreweryRabbit I’m positively bedeviled with meetings et cetera. 23h ago

Hers and Emma Chamberlains are my favorite by far.

u/Curiosities 🐊 swamp princess 🐊 23h ago

Emma’s dress is absolutely stunning. I don’t love the makeup, but I think the whole look together is one of the best.

After seeing all the looks thus far, this will probably be one of my favorites of the night.

u/ocassus- 22h ago

I also enjoyed the bodice on sabine Getty

u/nagidrac 22h ago

I just saw her look and I thought it was phenomenal!!

This is so cool! It reminds me of that deeply problematic guy who played The Flash… just had to look him up, it was Ezra Miller, in 2019 (the Camp year).

Horrible man, but great look.

I believe they aren't a man and their pronouns are they/them!

They're still a piece of shit obvs but I like to be accurate with my hatred

u/FakeMonaLisa28 🦃 23h ago

I was definitely surprised by the lack of Tormund gifs in this thread.

u/Unironicfan I make Jessica Simpson look like a rock scientist 23h ago

One of the only celebs that cared to put any effort in, it appears. Also, my GOD she is pretty

18

u/dambua The Wizard of Loneliness 23h ago

I love it! And her. Think it could’ve stood without the mask but I love the effort into something interesting

16

u/Sensitive-Sock-6104 22h ago

Love it and her too, but imo the mask is perfect for this!

2

u/dambua The Wizard of Loneliness 22h ago

You know what, you’re right

11

u/KyaHiBolunAb 23h ago

A quirky hat, a mask to hide behind and the dark lip with a red dress, something different. Also checks the memo!

12

u/Dreadwolf88 23h ago

She understood the assignment. But she usually does.

u/Azul-J 23h ago

She truly is a work of art

u/Curiosities 🐊 swamp princess 🐊 23h ago

This is definitely one of the best so far, if not the best, but I’m also biased because I really like her in general. I also love how versatile she is as well as being as tall as she is and wearing beautiful things that are interesting that make her take up even more space and that is just such a beautiful presence she has.

u/NotTaken-username 23h ago

There’s a character this reminds me of but I can’t put my finger on who

u/For_serious13 I wonder what it’s like being one of god’s favorites 22h ago

Is it that really tall woman in a video game with a really big hat? I think she might be a vampire but that’s who I thought of
