it's a guilty pleasure....and we always look forward to it. Helps that we lived in Hollywood for 6 years or so just recently. The buzz is fun...

I'm too old to recognize many of the currently famous people. It's fun to look at the weird clothes, though.

Give me elegance over outrageousness any day of the week.

That dress would have been better without the goofy bow detail, which was just sort of there - didn't add anything.

One of the worst dresses I've ever seen was the one Simone Biles wore to the Met Gala - it weighed 90 pounds, and definitely wore her instead of her wearing the dress:

One of my faves:

"Jada led the list of worst-dressed stars at the 94th Academy Awards in a voluminous metallic green gown, which featured an enormous ruffled train that left her looking as though she was dragging a giant lettuce behind her. "

I looked her up and she has shaved her head after battling alopecia.

She is braver than I am. I would have chosen a turban of hat of some sort if I had to appear at such a public event.

I wouldn't even know who most of them were, and I could care even less.
