This year, the American Ballet Theater honored Cynthia Erivo at its fall gala, because she's very talented and therefore they don't seem to need a ballet connection at all. No complaints here; she *is* great. For the night, she chose a fresh Erdem [worn by Karen Elson on the runway](https://www.gofugyourself.com/erdem-s-s-2027/#/erdem-s-s-2027-42). With the backdrop (and without special lighting, and also, she's petite), you can't see the sheerness at the bottom hem as clearly, and I do think some of the effect is lost. I also can't decide whether I miss what I shall call The Neck Business on Elson's version. This one is crisper, and leaves room for earrings, and doesn't look so much like a Dickensian tourniquet, but the other one is at least visually interesting? This is where normally I would insert a poll for you to help us decide, but Ghost doesn't have a poll function, so we're still figuring out what third-party extension might do the trick. Imagine there are buttons here asking you whether you prefer the runway, or the reality, or something in between.
