Wait. She looks amazing. Weird. She, like, keeps raising the bar. We're really close. I'm underwhelmed. Too much volume. No. Like, I'm obsessed. You know, this color on white people is always really hard for me. Oh my god. It's genius. Genius. The belt is very important. It's kinda sickening. You know what? She's been through a lot. I'm gonna let her have it. Die for this. Every single one of them is going somewhere different. We need to really be taking her seriously. I'm pretty sure this is a flop. It's good, but I kind of want the hat. Oh, cute. It needs something. Five out of 10. This is seriously one of the worst suits I've ever seen, but this is one of the best. It's trying too hard to be interesting. Why? Why? Yes. Exactly. It's only iconic if the hat is Philip Treacy. Yes. But with a loafer. It's not moving the needle for me. I like everything that this one does. Honestly, tier, the shoes go up too high. It's like, why even bother? Oh my god. You have to remove something. I promise you, you do not need all those chains. I don't know that Madonna wants to be attached to this. It's the VMAs, girl. Turn it up. Okay. Turn it down. One of them is good, and one of them is bad. It's not bad. Actually, no. It's bad. So boring. I'm gonna fall asleep. Obsessed with her style, though. Now this is stunning. This is one of the best makeovers I've ever seen. It's so bad. But because it's hurt so good.
