Do you think they all nailed the theme? My personal opinion is that the theme was ambiguous. It was the kind of theme that you had to ask the wearer of the costume "What inspired your look?'
It wasn't like the 2018 Met Gala, the theme was 'Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination' and we could see it clearly.
