Quote from VamityFair:
The ensemble—which echoes Rihanna’s look at the CFDA Awards last year—seemed to divide critics and commentators. For some, the gown was the impetus for cries of “SLAY” and “MOM” and “DYING” (all very positive cries, for those not familiar with Internet/teen-speak); while others questioned whether the dress seemed to fit the theme for the event, which was China: Through The Looking Glass (Rihanna, who arguably won the night, wore a Chinese designer).
