The two ensembles that Ariana Grande wore on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" weren't her best. Ariana Grande appears on the June 6 episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." Though Grande's outfit was classic, especially paired with sheer tights and white Jimmy Choo heels, the garment was altered drastically from its runway state, which made it less unique. The musician later changed into a black, asymmetrical Mugler outfit, which was more interesting in shape and style. Unfortunately, the lace cat mask she wore across her face made the outfit look too much like a costume.

It may be a coincidence that the celebrity look-alike competition returned to prominence just as American citizens were voting in what some called “the most significant presidential election in our lifetimes.” But once it happened, the appeal was obvious. Here was a different kind of democratic event: a totally insignificant one, in which attractive men with slightly off-kilter features were lined up in public and ranked by the roaring crowd. At the first contest, which convened a flock of Timothée Chalamet doubles in Manhattan last month, the New York Police Department showed up, deemed it an “unscheduled demonstration” and arrested four people. They are typically publicized with posters on lampposts, staged in public parks and accompanied by meager prizes. The Mescal double won 20 euro “or three pints”; the White winner received $50 and a pack of Marlboro Reds.
