That was also kind of the mode of the clothes: a black sequined polo shirt evening gown; white palazzo pants with a white naval blazer; sparkling striped knits and a lot of gold Oscars gowns, including a Ginger Rogers dance dress entirely in the old Ralph groove.

They came in a gold breastplate (this is, bizarrely, something of a thing this season) over a billowing evening gown or the most homespun of knits, the sort a clan grandmother might make, or enveloped in a faux fur sweatsuit, giant striped scarves trailing behind like a train.

Wednesday's finals were a great big mess of boobs and sparkly bits — Trent Harmon and La'Porsha Renae belted the bejesus out of "Chandelier" and "Diamonds," while Jennifer Lopez spent the evening hunched over at the perfect angle in what can only be described as a figure skating evening gown.

And the scenes are hypnotic: a 31-year-old Chuck Berry stomping across the stage during "Sweet Little Sixteen," showing off hip-swiveling moves that clearly inspired Elvis Presley; Anita O'Day singing "Sweet Georgia Brown" while dressed immaculately in a black evening gown, white gloves, and a feather-festooned hat.

She uses color and special details to signify respect for a country she may be visiting – such as the green evening gown for her visit to Mexico in 1975, unveiled for PEOPLE exclusively, or the black Norman Hartnell design and delicate mantilla for a trip to the Vatican in 1961.

In fact, many "unconventionally" Dior pieces did hit the mark — a black, subtly-embroidered evening gown with a plunging neckline, a belted camel coat that has "street style" written all over it, an old-school yellow shirtdress that screamed '50s Dior — albeit on their own, and not as an entity.

Reading through Smith's selections, 10 of which appear below, I keep returning to this line from Jones's "Boy in Stolen Evening Gown" — Sir who is no one, sir who is yet to come, I need you — and a vision of these poets arriving, as if answering a call, fills my mind.

Just two years after her high school graduation, Belding, dressed in an elegant black evening gown, flashed a mega watt smile as she shared a red carpet in New York with celebrities, including Karlie Kloss, Eva Longoria, Andie MacDowell and Julianne Moore as one of 10 "Women of Worth" celebrated by L'Oreal Paris.

Sometimes the connection to the work is extremely literal, as with "Escape" (2018), a strapless, intricately pleated evening gown of teal silk decorated with bursts of colorful cotton that mimic the leech-like cast-bronze droplets covering the copper-green naked figure of a nearby Alison Saar sculpture, "Blood/Sweat/Tears" (2005).

It was during their trip to Frogmore House — where Harry swapped out his British Army Blue and Royals frock coat uniform for a classic tuxedo and his new bride changed from her Clare Waight Keller-designed stunner to a Stella McCartney evening gown — that the couple showed off their winking license plate as they left the castle.

As we see with the drawings and photographs of "Evening Gown, Winter 1967 Collection" (1967), in the late 1960s Balenciaga's experiments with structure, line, and proportion led him toward a reconstruction of traditional female curves into ever more geometrical and abstract forms — an aesthetic not all that far from the unconventional cyborg costumes of Oskar Schlemmer.

I gasped so loudly at Aquaria's Bob Mackie-esque star-studded cut-crotched evening gown that I scared my cat, and Asia's stunning gold-and-Tiffany-blue art-deco "Queen Tut" ensemble, complete with citrine topaz goatee, undoubtedly brought a mist to the newly-single eyes of Tisha Campbell, wherever she may be, long may she live.

Though contestants were allowed to choose any type of evening gown, the unspoken ethos, judging from photos over the years, was that it should be either a long mermaid style or a fairy princess frock involving some combination of sparkle, cleavage, legs and tiny waist, and should be paired with towering stiletto sandals and flowing hair or an Audrey Hepburn twist.

That means it can do its thing while you're out and about (Nicole Phelps even wore her Willow under an evening gown at a gala with her husband), which is a game-changer for anyone who doesn't want to spend upwards of two hours a day tethered to an outlet (especially if said outlet is in a utility closet that your company rebranded as the lactation room).

If her years of hitting high notes only dogs can hear, riding the NYC subway in an evening gown, yachting around Italy listening to her own greatest hits and reciting off-the-cuff one-liners about certain pop stars she may or may not be familiar with wasn't confirmation enough of her living legends status, we now have definitive proof that she continues to be the most meme-able musician of the decade thanks to her new eight-part reality docuseries Mariah's World.
