Just Dandy
Everything You Need Before Tonight's Gala
It’s the First Monday in May, and today is (one of) my Super Bowls. I love fashion and I think fashion is art and there is not other event that takes that vibe and runs.
And of all the themes we seen thus far — this one is one to beat them all.
I hope we see Zendaya in a gorgeously tailored surprising suit.
I hope to see folks wearing beautiful fabrics designed to perfection from Black designers. I already know Tom Ford will show out — suits is what he/they do. I already know Thom Browne will do what he does so well, but this is (Black) Dandy, baby. And this is Blackity Black Black Black.
So before tonight’s Gala Red Carpet — here is EVERYTHING you need to know what the hell, what the helly, what the hella berry, what the hellyonce is going on.

Predictions?
My Personal Predictions?
Gorgeous Gorgeous Tailoring. If there is one thing I love the most in fashion is crisp perfect, fit your body like a glove tailoring. I cannot stand a pant leg bunched up at the bottom on top of a shoe. My God.
Folks being introduced to new (and Black) designers. May this lead with abundance and being as busy as they want to be, henceforth.
Someone will get the theme hella wrong — IF Katy Perry is invited — my money is on her or the Kardashians f**ing this up.
The Kardashians will bring one or all of their kids — due to Blue Ivy killing it on tour.
Rihanna will not be as late as she usually is — since A$AP is a Chair.
Beyonce and Jay-Z and Blue will be the last ones on the Red Carpet, and in Louis Vuitton — care of Pharrell.
Janelle Monáe will wear Thom Browne (Doechii too) and will probably wear a suit and then reveal another outfit underneath.
Louis Hamilton will look fine as hell and will wear a Black British dope suit.
Three Words. Colman. Jason. Domingo.
