When it came to Teyana Taylor’s body hugging black and white gown with a sheer cut out on her torso, Bozoma gushed, “I like the best accessory which are her abs.” Chris pointed out, “You can see them when it’s not even see through,” adding, “Every time she does a look she commits to it.”

Gwyneth Paltrow hit the carpet in a white custom Georgio Armani dress with a skin baring slit up the entire side of her body.
Chris commented, “Straight on it almost blended into the background… I wish she had had a little more pop."

Zendaya did not walk the red carpet, but did show up in custom brown Louis Vuitton dress. Saint John joked, “I know why she didn’t walk the carpet, she would have sent that joint on fire.” Appleton added, “She looks fantastic.”
Bozoma revealed her best dressed of the night, revealing she chose Chase “because of her hair choice, I think the braids were very bold.”
Chris picked Teyana, saying, “I think the whole season has been amazing… she looks so hot.”
Derek chose Zendaya calling her look “so fresh.”
Watch the video below for this year’s red-carpet trends. White was the color of the night, worn by Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet. Timmy’s GF Kylie Jenner dropped jaws in red Schiaparelli that gave major Jessica Rabbit vibes. And Teyana Taylor rocked feathered figure-hugging Chanel and was dripping in 60 carats of diamonds.
