DevonRoars Posted October 20, 2022 Author Posted October 20, 2022 @Speezy JLo @Rotunda Trinity The Tuck "The Medieval Church gave authority to the ancient vampire myth by declaring vampires a work of the devil. By doing so, the Church effectively fostered the threatening parts of the vampire myth and then provided solace to the true believer by offering remedies to prevent vampirism. This situation created a power structure where the Church held all the power(Landix, 2017, p. 63)." Landix, Kelle (2017) "Dracula: An Allegory of Anglican Conflict," Ellipsis: Vol. 44 , Article 27. DOI: https://doi.org/10.46428/ejail.44.27 Available at: https://scholarworks.uno.edu/ellipsis/vol44/iss1/27 @Devin Beyoncé Description: Beyoncé will be representing Mother Mary in custom Peter Dundas. In many religions, gold is such a powerful color which inspired this look. Also, pregnancy is one of the most beautiful and unique things to happen to a woman’s body. @Julia Fox Julia Fox JULIA FOX AS ICHTHYS Julia wearing a celestial fishy ichthys aka the Jesus fish: a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish. It has been speculated that the symbol was adopted by early Christians as a secret symbol; a shibboleth to determine if another was indeed Christian. @TruGemini Dominique Jackson Angel, but make it fashion. @kipperskipper Adut Akech Joan of Arc @dweebz Raja When I heard Heavenly Bodies and I thought of Jesus and Protecter. And we all know behind a powerful man is an even more badass Woman. So my inspiration was Defender of Jesus and Defender of Heaven plus, who's a better defender than a mother. That's right baby, Im Mary, Jesus' mama, but I crystalized, and went to heaven and got some sickening armor. And you may be wondering what's around my vajay-jay, well, lets just say giving birth is very scarring... but make it fierce! @Anvarie Queen Lizzie The State Opening is a royal ceremony of great antiquity – well-established by the late fourteenth century – which marks the start of a parliamentary year. The modern state opening ceremony dates to 1852, when the new Palace of Westminster was opened. The route within Parliament that Queen Elizabeth II follows today was used by Queen Victoria for the first time in 1852. And the Irish State Coach which the present Queen rides in today was bought by Queen Victoria and used for the first time in 1852. It is customary for the Sovereign to be present at the ceremony, which serves as a symbolic reminder of the unity of the three constituent parts of Parliament: the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Famous for its magnificent pageantry and precise choreography, the State Opening is also when the Queen reads the Speech from the Throne, which sets out the Government's agenda and key legislative plans. The Imperial State Crown is made of gold and set with 2,868 diamonds, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 269 pearls, and 4 rubies! The crown contains some of the most famous jewels in the collection. These include the Black Prince's Ruby, the Stuart Sapphire, and the Cullinan II diamond. St Edward’s Sapphire, set in the centre of the topmost cross, is said to have been worn in a ring by St Edward the Confessor and discovered in his tomb in 1163. @Invisibility Björk Björk channels a celestial being, whose body is made of geometric patterns, that you might find in Catholic imagery. This Gucci look, constructed from organza upon which iridescent PVC pleats and embroidery were crafted to achieve its wing-like, structural silhouette, is up to the caliber that the best of the MET gala demands. @Not Like The Movies Zendaya Hay in A Manger. If you're familiar with the story of the birth of Jesus Christ , you would know that the place where he was born, there was hay in a manger. I wanted to take a risk and do something more conceptual and creative and less pretty, I wanted to send something fun and original yet still high fashion. "Zendaya and LAW Roach are all about bringing massive attention to emerging brands, which is why it is no surprise why they chose one for this specific spread, this designer, in particular, is part of the CFDA's graduating Class Of 2020, Kenneth Brody McCasland". In this ensemble, Zendaya is portraying that hay where Jesus laid on his arrival and brought him comfort. Her hair and makeup reflect the earthy and natural imagery which was the goal. @Yvess Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach YVESS - PIA ALONZO WURTZBACH HEAVENLY BODIES God is a Woman You, you love it how I move you You love it how I touch you My one, when all is said and done You'll believe God is a woman @fountain @Kylizzle @D e v o n
Kylizzle Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 @Speezy, Jlo Is it on theme? Yes. Unfortunately it's also very ugly. I don't like the details on the top of the dress and the bottom clashes. There's just entirely too much going on with the patterns and the adornments. @Rotunda, Trinity the Tuck I can tell you struggled, so I will give you some credit here. I don't love this and the Myspace'd photography and editing is messy. The fashion isn't that bad but I don't get a very good look at any of the garments because of how the photo is edited. @Devin, Beyonce This outfit is legendary and you're embodying the theme well. The headpiece gives me religious symbolism and I love it. I kii'd at you calling pregnancy "unique" tho as if it's not one of the common things in the world dddd. @Julia Fox, Julia Fox This is a pretty big stretch but I respect that you came up with this. That said the fish tails look weird and the fabric is pretty ugly. Love Julia's bleached eyebrows tho. A serve. @TruGemini, Dominique Jackson I like this look a lot. I see the theme and the vision and you look expensive and luxurious. @kipperskipper, Adut Akech I don't really like the contrast between the armor and the dress part on the bottom. The photo itself is strong though. @dweebz, Raja The photo is a bit busy so it's hard to focus on the garment, but I'm really living for this look. You're radiating glamour and opulence. Your description definitely helps you here because I would've been a bit confused otherwise. @Anvarie, Lizzie The crown... you ate. I like this submission a lot and the descriptions definitely made this more compelling. The gold dress and the detailing served opulence and glamour. The context makes this work for this round. @Invisibility, Bjork After I shaded you a bit last week you had to leave me gagging! And it worked. This is clearly the showstopper of the round. @Not Like The Movies, Zendaya I applaud that you took a risk, I really do. Unfortunately the colors and fuzziness on this garment are a bit odd to me, it's kind of giving The Cowardly Lion from The Wiz. Zendaya is sellingggg it tho. @Yvess, Pia I'm having trouble with this one. You're gorgeous and I love the visuals but it falls flat compared to some of the other entries.
dweebz Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Bjork won. The lady said the game is over, go home.

Julia Fox Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Ty @Kylizzle hope one day you’ll praise one of my entries. I’m working hard

fountain Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) @Speezy JLo It’s not really doing much for me tbh. She looks fine but the dress isn’t good. The mix between the stoning and the feathered train looks odd, and the stoning of the cross is just quite ugly and adds nothing… would honestly look better if that wasn’t there, but even then it looks really uncomfy on her. Messy, but I do like the shot with the long train going down, she looks good there. @Rotunda Trinity The Tuck I think this is a creative interpretation and the look is pretty solid. Good entry. @Devin Beyoncé Iconic and stunning. @Julia Fox Julia Fox You know what, I actually love this. It’s probably a risky choice because again it skews left, but I’m here for it. I think she looks great and the outfit is an interesting visual. @TruGemini Dominique Jackson She looks wonderful and it’s a very iconic staple look for her. That said I do think it’s a little on the plain side and isn’t super visual, but it’s good. @kipperskipper Adut Akech Your entries remain top notch and this is clearly one of the standouts of the round. You’ve done it again! @dweebz Raja I liked this look. I think it looks better in photograph than it did on stage; on the stage it looked more mismatched but the refinement showed in the photoshoot. @Anvarie Queen Lizzie Your model might not be the easiest to look at, but she has some well made pieces which are interesting to look at. If I avert my eyes I like this, and I think overall your entries bring something different to the game which is good. @Invisibility Björk Really like this. The only thing that takes me out of the fantasy a little bit is how flimsy it looks (does this even make sense?) but obviously it’s a great look and one of my favourites of the round. @Not Like The Movies Zendaya Okay I LOVE this. Have really liked your other entries too where she’s giving more of a classic beauty but this is something I’ve kinda been waiting to see, some very visually interesting and unique, and I love it. She’s kinda giving Grinch, but in a good way. It’s outside the box and I really appreciate it. A very creative interpretation of the challenge, too. This is my favourite. @Yvess Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach I have pretty similar critiques with this that I do your other entries thus far. I think she looks beautiful, but again it isn’t super memorable and a bit more on the basic side as opposed to some of the high level stuff that gets sent. It can be an asset to try and be more simplistic but so far I’ve found it to come across more as creatively lacking unfortunately. Your presentation always sells the look well but looking at it solely on its own I feel quite uninspired. All that said I think this is one of your better entries, so that’s good. Overall I don’t think you’ve ever submitted anything bad, but they’ve all been pretty safe to me. Edited October 21, 2022 by fountain
Invisibility Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 Thanks judge fountain! Guess I see your critique, but happy to have a fan nonetheless!
