I don’t like the gloves, cape or makeup. But on it’s own the dress looks great on her.
IA. The dress is prettier without the cape and fits her body perfect. Maybe the cape was added to suit the gala's theme?? IDK. I didn't like the eye makeup. She usually goes for a much more natural look with her makeup but it seems like they all kick it up a notch for this.
PEOPLE had her on their best dressed list....
With so many halo headpieces and elaborately bejeweled gowns on the carpet, I loved Alicia’s more subtle take (courtesy of Louis Vuitton) on old school Sunday service glamour. Her rounded shoulder capelet and wide headband gave off strong Jackie O vibes and her elbow-length gloves were an elegant nod to the days when ladies donned their Sunday best for services. Do I wish she teamed her look with a hat or veil? Sure. But this classic take is still one of my favorites of the night.

IA that I preferred her more subtle take on the theme over some of the more over the top looks but again, it's the MET. Over the top is what many are aiming for, lol.
