Sexy __________ Halloween Costume Roundup 2022!

My dear readers, hello. It's been a minute. I'm sorry we didn't get to celebrate the highs and lows of the big red carpets this year. That said, is it actually Halloween if you don't see someone's abs or butt cheeks? No, I don't believe so. So settle into your most uncomfortable push up bra or strap on that pleather harness and let's dig in to this year's selection of Sexy ____ Halloween Costumes!

Honestly, Yandy what took you so long? In terms of Sexy ____ costumes this one is fairly tame, but still counts. Sadly, they do not have a matching men's sexy version.

I need y'all to know that this comes in a variety of colors but I thought the cow print was the best of them. You know, really drive home the point of the costume. And good news for couples....

Okay, look, you cannot convince me that this is not trying to be Sexy Woody from Toy Story but with the print on the chaps instead of the shirt for obvious reasons. Also, this model is in a lot of the men's Sexy ____ costume photos and I just noticed the enormous tattoo of a dog on his arm. If you visit the page for this one you'll see another model wearing this costume with SNEAKERS. Absolutely not! 

A++++ to Yandy. Sexy Cow!?! I never would have imagined this day. I am delighted. All I have to say is, Brown Cow: Stunning! 

Sexy Gummy Bear!
The necklace (!!!) says "Gummy a Bear Hug" which I reject entirely. I actually don't understand this costume at all but it also comes in green. 

I think we've seen Sexy Cruella costumes before but this is a nice update thanks to the Emma Stone movie. They say "wig and cigarette holder not included" but I am seeing a riding crop? Confused. Yandy, pls clarify.

The lacing on the briefs has me cackling - Yandy has styled this with "hint of scrotum" analogous to "underboob." Oh Yandy! You are too much!

Was definitely hoping to see some Sexy Lesbian Rockford Peaches this year because holy shit the League of Their Own series on Amazon was so great. Honestly, in any other year I would not include this costume but the boys are playing Game 3 tonight at home so LET'S GO PHILLIES!!!!!! Why can't us, you know?

Why are the skirt, bag, and cap brim see-through!? This is a classic Yandy costume - sexy in a very confusing way. 

Amazing addition to the team. No notes.

Sexy Fireman!
A bit passé, no? Snoozefest.

Sure.

This is pretty deluxe, I have to say, but extremely suspicious timing. I will spare you the details of a costume idea I overheard someone sharing that started with zombie and ended with this. Entirely too soon! 

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!???? This is phenomenal. The lace up thigh highs? The crop jacket? The scarf? Chef's kiss - all of it!

Edit! Thank you to Reader Chris for pointing out my mistake: this is Sexy Bessie Coleman, not at all Sexy Amelia Earhart. All other comments remain unchanged.

Sexy Anna Delvey!
My dear readers, I was not sure that I was going to even do a Sexy ____ costume roundup this year. I was considering the real possibility of disappointing the tens of people who look forward to this. But then, I saw this costume and I knew that even if this was the only one that made me laugh and sigh resignedly, then it was worth a post. I absolutely love the Soho Grifter - a hero for our times. But surely just throwing on some black glasses and a sash that says VIP IS ALWAYS BETTER over a sexy black dress is hardly a great Sexy Anna Delvey costume... 

BUT(T) WAIT.... THERE'S MORE. Here is the back of the costume....


The underwear says DO YOU ACCEPT WIRE TRANSFER? Now, if you are not an Anna Delvey fan like me, just trust me that this is hilarious. Also, I cannot tell if the dress is being held up to reveal the underwear or if there is simply no back to this dress and you have to walk around all night with your cooch covered but your buns out. I really hope it's the latter because that is the sillier way.

Thank you, Yandy, for these delightful treats. And thank you, dear readers, for joining me for this annual tradition. Happy Halloween!

2021 Met Gala Red Carpet Rundown: The WTF

Well, my dear readers, it is a new year! Tonight is the Golden Globes so it seems like the right time to wrap up the Met Gala from last September. What is time anyway?

THE WTF

Erykah Badu!

This is like a hidden picture search in Highlights Magazine if they made a Highlights Fashion edition. See how many you can find:
  • Crystal quartz necklace
  • Top hat
  • Fencing mask
  • Dagger ring
  • Bow tie
  • Fashion drawstrings so as not to trip on gown
  • Dachshund purse
Naomi Osaka (with Cordae Dunston)
Naomi looks like an astounding sculpture out on loan from MOMA. And appropriately, she has Dick Tracy protecting her through the evening.

Ben Platt!
I guess Ben decided to use the Met Gala as an opportunity to debut his one man Bee Gees tribute show You Should Be Dancing.

Kid Cudi!
I kind of love this and it was definitely shocking to see a club kid situation on the red carpet. That said, I want more from the makeup.

Kim Petras!
The Met Gala fashion equivalent of "Please clap."

Pharrell and Helen Lasichanh!

Reliable WTF-ery from Pharrell and Helen. This matching getup would not be in the WTF, though, except that it is entirely leather and I can only imaging the sweat situation going on between skin and clothes.

Megan Rapinoe!
Aside from the unfortunate footectomy Megan sufferer from these pants, the WTF part of this is that it SHOULD be campy but it's reading sincere and that will not stand in my book. Not that one can stand easily without feet.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky!
Now, coming to the Met Gala just wrapped in quilts and diamonds? THAT is camp. Another masterpiece at the Met Gala from Riri.

Kim Kardashian!
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with Aurora James!
Remember when this was such a big thing? What was that, like 4 years ago or something? Seems like a lifetime.

Carolyn B. Maloney!
I preferred this politician's look because it's giving me Glynis Johns as Winnifred Banks and that is pretty much everything I want.

Jeremy Pope (seen here with Janet Mock)!
I understand the idea of this outfit and I do love this neckline on Jeremy Pope but the execution of the look comes off as What if Siegfried & Roy But Melting. Also, I have tried for years but I cannot make myself tolerate the cloven hoof shoes. At this point, I just refuse.

Serena Williams!
Honestly, considering what I can see of the lace body suit and realizing there are dumb looking pink stars all over it, I'm feeling fine about this Snuffleupagus coat moment. But the top of this really does make her look like a floating head.

Whoopi Goldberg, Pierpaolo Piccioli, and Carey Mulligan!
Whoopi looks like a high fashion purple artichoke with leg warmers on her arms. Carey looks like she's playing dress up with her younger cousin and managed to fit into the doll's clothes but only just. And Pierpaolo looks so proud. (Meanwhile Maya Rudolph is on the phone desperately trying to get that purple number for the Golden Globes. Do they have it in orange, she wants to know.)

and finally.....

Iman!
Absolutely none of us are worthy! This is a Full Tonga!
