My favorite thing about this photograph is Red Bow Tie in the background who is all, “awwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah” at Lake Bell here:

Whereas I really want to go up to her and ask her what is actually going on.  From the chest up, she looks great. From the knees down, I’m not mad at her. But…I still have so many questions. The middle part there, are those blown-out pleats (blowing out a pleat is the sartorial version of an athlete blowing out his knee: impossible to make an on-the-fly recovery from, and a situation which will require the attention of an expert)? Can she even walk in that thing? Is it too small? Is she just standing weird? Would she be interested in having a glass of wine with Red Bow Tie after the event? How does she feel about Peyton Manning playing for the Broncos? Weird, right? What’s her take on cilantro? What is happening here with this dress, just in general? Bill Hader: insufficiently famous for his talent level? What’s the deal with candy corn? Why is this outfit doing that thing with those parts? Etc.
