Mindy Kaling:
Turned heads with a sculptural Gaurav Gupta creation that was nothing short of wearable art.

Queen Latifah:
Overwhelmed by an opera coat that swallowed her stunning presence, turning what could have been fab into drab.

A chaotic mix of lacy tablecloth vibes paired with a corset that made her look more tossed salad than tossed couture. #wwwhhyyyyyyy

Faced a style setback in a Balenciaga piece that was a fashion miss, more than a fashion hit. #punintended
The Worst: Lizzo
In a see-through dress with a headpiece that made her look like she was wearing a lampshade. Literally, she was wearing a cone of shame.
