Last night I texted my BFF Taylor, “Do you know who Jenna Lyons is?”

Taylor, a sexy lesbian goth who’d rather be struck by lightning than step foot into a J. Crew, replied, “Is she the J. Crew bitch?”

Yes, exactly. Jenna Lyons is The J. Crew Bitch.

I’ve never looked this cool one day in my life, my god. like what is she doing? sitting in a bathtub fully clothed? with no bra and a chain belt? perfect grays? I’m dead.

Crew artistic director, Lyons served loud florals with stripes, denim with sequined blazers (“Sequins for day? Groundbreaking.”) (lol, but it sorta was?), tastefully ripped jeans on the red carpet, and, perhaps most importantly, our girl Michelle Obama was all in on the Lyons experience and every time Michelle wore J. Crew, the internet lost their collective mind.
