It's possible that we've never been more torn about a single fashion statement. Lupita Nyong'o's Prada creation has us flummoxed, flabbergasted and totally tangled up, which is probably just how a fish would feel if it got caught inside the Academy Award winner's red carpet wear.

Yes, the Kenyan beauty looks like she's donning the result of a Project Runway episode on fisherman supply fashion. But here's the crazy thing, we might absolutely love it!

The emerald hue is gorgeous, the feather detailing is impressive and we're even fans of that strange Pocahontas head gear. Yes, the netted style is very risky, and we're not so sure a brown slip was the right choice (cream or gold would have been much more flattering), but it's by far the most interesting item we've seen in ages. Isn't that what a night with Vogue is supposed to be all about?

We say bravo and gotta have it! What's your say? Slip or success?
