Miss Cynthia would like to remind you she’s got Aretha on her mind:
And while there are literally scores of more important reasons why Miss Aretha is an icon, it feels like Cynthia and her stylist decided to promote the upcoming series by paying living homage to one of its subject’s most memorable latter-day quotes “Great gowns… beautiful gowns.” Between this and Anne Hathaway’s mini Met Gala/Cannes, our high fashion cups are unexpectedly overflowing today.

Oscar de la Renta
We think this may be our favorite of the three gowns, although we reserve the right to change our minds before you scroll to the bottom. The color looks amazing on her and the design sets off her arms and shoulders beautifully. It’s this beautiful juxtaposition of old-school debutante with a septum ring and some killer arm work giving it a real sense of modernity.
Carolina Herrera
Okay, maybe this is our favorite now. It feels like something Diahann Carroll would’ve worn on Dynasty and that can never be considered a poor or unworthy homage to attempt.
Valentino
We love this one, but it doesn’t have the same high-fashion feel as the others. Mainly, we love the way it’s styled. The belt gives it a less formal feel and the explosion of neck jewelry lends it a bit of Boho. It’s a fabulous look. Okay, maybe this one is our favorite too. They’re all our favorites! We’re giddy with fashion!
