Nicole

sponsored by

Ada 

right Donatella Versace.

Nicole

So are we looking at clips from this season?

Ada 

Yeah,

Koss

Ada 

I guess they’re giving us a preview of what to expect

Nicole

I see multiple bucket hats

Nicole

I’m on trend

Ada 

you’re on trend

Esther

wow

Nicole

so much satin

Ada 

already they cast more diverse people than last year or last season

Ada 

no!

Nicole

oh I only just started sewing four years ago not quite four years

Ada 

yeah but you’re not on a TV show

Nicole

not yet I got another year

Nicole

oh I love his suit it’s very clown-meets-80s Yeah

Ada 

one of the designers was just straight up wearing a bucket hat

Nicole

made out of jeans, jeans remnants, hopefully jeans remnants and it’s not like uh, like hopefully it’s upcycled How are you feeling about wide leg pants

Ada 

I think they should have rotted with the with the in the mid aughts.

Nicole

Oh a kilt! that’s kind of how I feel about flares 

Ada 

like they shouldn’t 

Nicole

I’m currently wearing wide leg jeans. But I’m like I want to feel like they’re not that wide leg. They’re like but they’re, I don’t know. I don’t know how I feel about them but they’re so comfortable. 

Koss

Yeah, I was going to say so comfy though

Nicole

so comfy yeah

Ada 

I mean I haven’t been wearing jeans as of late

Nicole

oh sequined cow print

Ada 

oh wait, did you see that bathing suit?

Nicole

Ooooh I like that bodysuit.

Nicole

but yeah with the things on the middle and that’s my jam

Ada 

like Didn’t they go under something or they like screwed over their kids?

Esther

Oh No really? 

Ada 

Something

Nicole

ooh love that pink

Nicole

I haven’t seen season one was this the price last time?

Ada 

No. It was net a porter, net a porter, but like I don’t think the winners stuff really sold on Net a porter because it was too high fashion

Ada 

I need the coin

Nicole

I like Amari’s sparkly jacket

Nicole

she’s not wearing it here but in the what is it called like the interview? 

Ada 

Yeah 

Nicole

part where it’s like the the cutaway or whatever 

Ada 

they’re on the couch 

Nicole

yeah

Ada 

so that fabric

Nicole

when she says Everything You need will be in that work room. I’m like I don’t know. I’m pretty sure I could find a reason to need something else as that’s how I am with my voluminous stash. Like I have so much but but I’m missing something aren’t I?

Ada 

like I have a seven inch zipper but I need a six inch zipper.

Nicole

Yeah, there’s no way around it

Nicole

okay

Nicole

I don’t know who that is, but I couldn’t name a stylist out there okay

Ada 

I wouldn’t be screaming I’d be like Get me out of here. No, this is not what I signed up for

Nicole

panicking panicking someone in there is someone there is like aaaah aaaah

Koss

I love that it’s Versace for the 

Ada 

Trenton New Jersey

Esther

woop woop! represent!

Ada 

wow look at those individually applied feathers

Koss

Can you imagine a full ballgown in eight hours?

Esther

Hey, panic selling at its best, right?

Ada 

This whole show was panic sewing.

Koss

Yeah

Nicole

I mean, okay, so for those of you who watched season one, do they like look at the guts because if they don’t look at the guts

Koss

No it’s not the Sewing Bee

Ada 

It’s kind of like making a runway ready sample.

Nicole

Okay, as long as it doesn’t fall apart for the 50 feet or whatever.

Ada 

That’s kind of like on Bake Off where the cake can’t fall off the stand like it can’t come apart as you’re walking in it.

Nicole

Okay, okay, I think I think I can this one designer has four years of sewing experience got almost I’ve got three a little over three, let’s go. No.

Esther

Yeah, you’d be okay Nicole. we’ll root for you

Nicole

can you imagine that would be nuts. I’d be like I don’t actually want to design even if I’m here, I was like just, just wanted to be a part of the experience

Ada 

He’s my participation trophy 

Koss

I was going to say

Ada 

oh Bianca Jagger.

Nicole

I mean royalty doesn’t have to be extra. Does it? Oh it does have to be extra…

Koss

Kinda does! especially if Versace if judging

Nicole

yes.

Ada 

Yeah if Donnatella is in there 

Koss

yeah, it has to be extra.

Nicole

I was like I started just saying that and I was like, What am I talking about? Of course it wouldn’t be royalty if it wasn’t extra

Nicole

we should discuss what our ideas would be of royalty afterwards

Ada 

whoa

Nicole

Is that what your popcorn looks like?

Ada 

A little bit I think

Ada 

okay, some of these do look like upholstery Fabric though. I’m not gonna lie

Koss

I mean if you have to make a gown like, you need that oomf 

Ada 

that structure 

Esther

yeah the structure

Ada 

make sense with the dress that she’s wearing. 

Koss

Yeah.

Nicole

It’s a very Katie Kortman color situation

Ada 

vintage machine.

Nicole

She is really cool.

Esther

Be interesting to explore gatekeeping in the fashion industry

Nicole

like what made this person like not good enough to other people

Esther

yeah

Nicole

she’s so

Ada 

no bubble skirts? bubble skirts are not back girl

Nicole

Stop trying to make bubble skirts happen

Nicole

that Deandre’s outfit kind of reminds me of that simplicity pattern you talked about Ada with the two Asian models and sweatpants

Ada 

Oh with the with the hoodie in yeah like they gave it some bad colors but like I’m not opposed to the neon yellow

Nicole

no no he’s wearing it well 

Ada 

Oh yeah. 

Nicole

But it’s just reminding me

Ada 

like I wish simplicity had been like let’s just throw a jacket on top of it for this cover

Ada 

whoa

Koss

I feel like I have to make a puffer jacket this winter 

Ada 

It looks fun

Esther

I don’t like the fact that I look like a white marshmallow 

Ada 

I get Michelin man

Koss

yeah that’s why I used to hate them but now I’m like, I think I’m like into them now

Nicole

that’s how fashion works. oh I like that shirt

Ada 

the green and black is giving wicked to me 

Esther

Oh me too!

Koss

yes

Ada 

bustier of rhinestone

Ada 

we have eight hours 

Esther

was just gonna say the same thing

Ada 

a suit in eight hours

Ada 

okay, but they have like ready made pattern pieces right now.

Nicole

They’re not drafting?

Ada 

Well, some of them are just cutting from pattern views like , see that person has pattern pieces hanging off the thing.

Koss

Maybe they, maybe they have the themes and then they just bring, like they already know what they’re going to make, they just bring whatever they need. 

Ada 

Yeah.

Esther

Also these are like standard size mannequins so there was already probably standard blocks out there

Nicole

I forgot their name but when one of the designers said that shoulders scream royalty I was like That’s true. I’d never thought of it that way.

Ada 

Bigger shoulders 

Koss

power shoulders

Nicole

power shoulders 

Ada 

power shoulders

Nicole

more Juki industrials.

Nicole

So if this person is already a designer

Ada 

I feel like that’s like cheating like versus the girl with four years of sewing

Nicole

I guess they are all designers right?

Koss

It’s not a competition for home sewers. 

Ada 

That’s true

Esther

Oh, I love the sound of sewing machines. Maybe I do like ASMR

Nicole

Harry Styles royalty? discuss

Ada 

okay I need to tell you how Vincent described we were I was trying to walk him through one direction because my sister is a One Direction er and I was like well Niall is just known for golf now and I think Liam had a kid and we are going through them he’s like who’s the one with the watermelon song literally that is how he knows Harry Styles

Esther

I mean

Koss

So he’s me

Ada 

you didn’t measure anything

Koss

Oh god

Esther

And you call yourself an engineer?!

Koss

maybe that why he stopped

Koss

Oh I like that though 

Ada 

wow

Koss

I like that 

Nicole

caged look

Ada 

shoulders again

Nicole

yes whoo

Nicole

hoo I like their cropped pink blazer

Koss

I like their pockets

Ada 

but also respect because your hair routine is definitely longer than my hair routine

Koss

I like their whole deal

Ada 

yeah I’m rooting for you

Koss

like they’re best friends

Esther

Is it rude to comment on how perfect that wing eye is? I can’t even 

Nicole

I was thinking the exact same thing just now

Ada 

that’s gotta be gel right? 

Nicole

I don’t know 

Ada 

to hold on for eight hours.

Nicole

Well yeah, we don’t know how far we are gonna get setting spray in there

Ada 

they had these last season too, people who didn’t know how to sew oh they just knew how to like sketch

Koss

aww dude

Ada 

just learn how to sew

Esther

I know you’re an engineer for crying out

Koss

put under stitch instead of stop stitch

Nicole

Oh I like that, I could actually see myself wearing that.

Koss

Yeah, I could see you rocking that 

Nicole

or to work

Ada 

good critique though.

Nicole

Yeah. Okay

Nicole

some neon green in there.

Koss

Yeah, yeah actually

Ada 

Oh my gosh nooo

Nicole

I’m thinking some kind of like river almost of neon underneath that

Ada 

oh like through the see through

Nicole

yeah

Ada 

do you think they give them like lunch breaks?

Nicole

I was just thinking that too I’m like Surely they must have to go to the bathroom

Koss

I think there’s like a table with snacks

Ada 

yes that makes sense 

Koss

they dip in and out

Nicole

yeah, there has to be or maybe there isn’t so that they can up the drama The angry 

Ada 

hangry

Koss

oh

Ada 

I was gonna say kind of cosplay

Nicole

yeah

Koss

oh

Nicole

I would not be able to sleep that night the things I have lost sleep over are nothing are like nothing compared to an eight hour design competition in front of judged by Donatella Versace

Ada 

I love how they’re just like the floor we leave the scraps and the pattern pieces on it

Nicole

I mean that’s how I do it.

Ada 

Yeah no, my floors my floor is covered in scraps

Nicole

someone is wearing a tie dye suit and I saw it and I missed it.

Ada 

Okay, the boob is not covered

Nicole

a lot of hand sewing. Not ideal.

Nicole

Not ideal 

Nicole

in competition. 

Ada 

I mean chiffon yea.

Nicole

Oh yeah, the polyfill would take forever

Ada 

the polyfill would take a long time but at least like the payoff I think it’s like dramatic

Ada 

it’s kind of giving carpet

Esther

I was gonna say bugs but carpet sounds better.

Koss

I’m with Esther

Ada 

bugs Yeah, that does like circles on black Yeah, 

Koss

Like moths

Ada 

I’m just gonna wear it

Nicole

At Oh, sorry

Nicole

I don’t know about that material. I love it in my heart, but I’m not sure it’s gonna look 

Ada 

right. 

Nicole

Less than cheap

Ada 

and your understitching does it exist?

Koss

Yeah.

Ada 

understitching don’t reinvent the wheel.

Nicole

Doesn’t know what understitching is

Ada 

probably not

Ada 

Well zippers

Esther

I don’t know I feel like that gold fabric is not doing anybody any favors

Nicole

the Infinity Gauntlet from Marvel, like

Ada 

with all the stones

Nicole

at some point you could just gotta be like, I gotta take it to the end because even if you don’t like it’s like well what else are you gonna do?

Esther

That’s true you’re committed already.

Nicole

Yeah

Nicole

I mean, I’m like that with a lot of my projects like for example this interfacing is not as stiff as I wanted and I was like you know what I’m too lazy to go back and do a different one so we’re sticking with 

Ada 

whoa

Koss

oh my god this is amazing

Nicole

oh the tie dye suit ! With the… the lapels

Nicole

Good job finding trying to find paper towels

Ada 

announcing

Nicole

Yeah, you gotta be like paper towels Hello paper towels?

Esther

yikes

Esther

leave a raw edge

Nicole

I was just thinking that 

Ada 

right

Koss

oh love this hair

Ada 

Oh no.

Nicole

The chain dress is reminding me of Paris Hilton circa 2002

Ada 

But like in pink

Koss

Oh exciting

Nicole

mysterious music playing I’m watching

Ada 

me too

Koss

Ooh I love this

Ada 

she did the bubble skirt.

Koss

I don’t hate it! It’s giving magic jellyfish.

Ada 

I was gonna say that like clear cellophane that you get on gift baskets.

Nicole

Oh, yeah, there’s something about the ears. That’s getting to me right now. I don’t know why Ooh. The draping is 

Ada 

yeah the draping is cool 

Koss

yeah, I like that

Nicole

I missed 

Koss

But yeah I agree the two colors are not amazing together

Nicole

I missed who this is supposed to be inspired by

Koss

um Goddess of… war? 

Ada 

fertility? no?

Koss

something 

Nicole

she said an Asian goddess I feel like I should have been paying attention to that one I like that jacket

Ada 

The cape is underwhelming on this one. it kind of just feels like it was tacked on 

Koss

yeah

Nicole

I like it, oh now when you’re sitting you can really see

Esther

oooh that yellow

Nicole

I like the shine of the the turtleneck part and the leggings how that really adds to the drama. okay Elvis in a bathrobe

Ada 

OMG yeah. 

Koss

Eww

Ada 

it does kind of Elvis in a bathrobe. it’s very reminiscent of that brand that was like started by a surfer bro who just did quilted stuff.

Nicole

I am unaware

Esther

I was gonna say it looks like like one of those things that you take on the plane with you to sleep on? the neck pillows?

Ada 

Oh A neck pillow? Yeah

Ada 

okay, the headpiece does give Infinity Gauntlet

Koss

Yeah it looks a bit cheap

Nicole

Yeah

Nicole

Oh

Ada 

Iss she holding it there because of the nip slips?

Ada 

Oh we just have pasties on okay

Nicole

oh that didn’t get nearly enough. I didn’t get to get a good look nearly enough

Ada 

No. Donatella is like zippers takes a long fucking time and zipper feet

Koss

oh I like that. 

Ada 

Love it.

Nicole

It’s pretty but royalty

Ada 

Yeah, it’s like a bit plain

Koss

that’s why I like it, I’d wear that. 

Nicole

Yeah,

Nicole

I do think the cape is cool. 

Ada 

The Cape was a good addition

Koss

yeah

Nicole

that’s a cool dress though.

Nicole

Does it have to be modern though? I don’t know this isn’t what I envisioned

Koss

it’s the, it’s the way he walks?

Ada 

Yeah, 

Esther

maybe he can’t walk any differently because it’s so big

Ada 

it feels like it’s dragging on the floor.

Koss

Yeah but that’s fine with the theme.

Nicole

Yeah, true theme. I could see someone wearing this at the Met Gala. 

Ada 

Yeah,

Koss

yeah, exactly. 

Ada 

But like you can’t say the other one was a Balmain knockoff. And this isn’t a Balenciaga knockoff like

Koss

 it’s true.

Esther

And also what part of that made it couture I didn’t understand.

Koss

I looks like I know this fabric,

Ada 

it looks like the Blackbird fabrics, Blackbird fabrics gingham. 

Koss

Yeah, yeah, 

Ada 

check but like applied to a silky

Nicole

like a taffeta 

Ada 

taffeta. Yeah

Ada 

I like the juxtaposition with chartreuse.

Koss

Yeah, it’s really nice.

Esther

Kind of has a hanbok feel to it

Ada 

because of the high skirt?

Esther

um um

Koss

aw she matching with her model 

Ada 

cute!

Nicole

the colors are really cool. 

Ada 

Like the colors really work. 

Nicole

Yeah

Ada 

the bow is the color of her hair just realized 

Koss

Yeah.

Nicole

the sleeve shape is a very cool

Koss

yeah but I like that

Ada 

yeah

Ada 

I like that though because you always see plain keyhole backs

Koss

yeah

Ada 

I would be falling over if Donatella Versace said that to me

Koss

yeah she was pretty excited by all of the looks that was kind of nice

Nicole

is that a do rag cape? cape is not the right word, cloak?

Esther

oooooh

Nicole

I’m scared for some of the others, it definitely hit started with ones that were 

Ada 

that were good 

Nicole

yeah that they thought were amazing

Ada 

kind of reminding me of the dress in the Beyonce video where she got the bat and she’s like hitting the car 

Koss

 lemonade?

Ada 

Lemonade? Yeah

Ada 

Oh, 

Nicole

Ouch yeah

Nicole

Oh, okay

Nicole

Oh i love this one. 

Ada 

Ooh 

Koss

I think it’s a bit much! yeah, like the corset you don’t need it Yeah,

Nicole

well now that’s Disney villain

Ada 

Ooh

Koss

that’s just too much as well. 

Ada 

Yeah.

Esther

All right, I guess I’m taking a few lessons learned here. Don’t go overboard with my dress

Nicole

this pantsuit are the

Koss

it’s really cool looking,

Nicole

the onesie is 

Ada 

it’s a unitard

Nicole

unitard yeah

Nicole

Pretty sure that’s copyright theft 

Koss

yeah she did not say she was going to hire them

Ada 

Mochi is not feeling Nefertiti either

Nicole

I feel like the fabric could work in a wrap of some kind

Ada 

I think if it was a knit it would have worked better

Nicole

yes

Koss

yeah for sure

Nicole

I thought it worked great

Koss

I wonder if you could add something to have them together like for now it’s 2 different outfits

Nicole

Are those zippers too? no 

Ada 

No no oh

Nicole

oh I guess Harry Styles

Nicole

that would look very comfortable to wear on an airplane

Ada 

it’s a built in, what was it, neck pillow

Nicole

Donatella loves it

Ada 

but she’s like very not happy with this outfit

Nicole

I like the pink pants. I like Tan’s pants, or Tan’s whole outfit.

Koss

Yeah I like that too

Ada 

monochrome

Nicole

I think I am very surprised by all their feedback.

Koss

Yeah, I don’t like it 

Ada 

and no

Ada 

My gut tells me that the lack of ability to execute is going to, in a few episodes for him

Nicole

I think it’s going to be the Beyonce look 

Ada 

really ?

Nicole

only because that’s not that didn’t read a super royal to me. Even the ones that were poorly constructed did have some sort of image of royalty. That looked like ….

Koss

such a shame

Nicole

I want to say I hope I’m wrong but honestly I don’t know. I just wanna see what everyone does

Nicole

I think it’s gonna be streetwear puffer cat puffer jacket

Esther

yay

Nicole

I still really love his outfit

Ada 

what? 

Nicole

Oh 

Koss

yeah

Ada 

okay. Hit stop, yeah pause

Nicole

like I was gonna make a joke about how this is where network television for those who remember what that’s like, would cut to commercial and come back. But they literally stop the episode there. That’s rude.

Koss

yeah I’ve seen a lot of TV shows now on Netflix that do that and like it’s working like I will binge stuff because I have to watch the next one

Nicole

they gotcha

Ada 

thoughts feelings?

Nicole

I haven’t watched a competition show in a long time. So I don’t know. I think I’m like nervous on behalf of everyone.

Ada 

Would you keep watching after this episode?

Nicole

Oh, yeah, I think so well, because I gotta know who’s leaving. 

Ada 

Now we’re invested. Yeah

Koss

I’m trying to think but I don’t think there’s anything I loved. Like there were things I liked when there was nothing. I was like, Wow, I’m like so inspired.

Ada 

I think the one that I liked the most was the Meghan’s, maybe because like the construction looked the most put together, but also, the neckline was nice the keyhole, like she had a lot of cool details that I think are kind of like Easter eggs when you have a garment that large literally like, it was like a fabric tent.

Koss

That’s true. I loved the like detailing, like on the sleeves that were like dinosaur backs kind of thing. I loved that.

Ada 

It was almost like very reminiscent of like rick rack.

Koss

Yeah. Maybe it was!

Ada 

like personally not my style. But could I get behind that? Yeah,

Koss

yeah, exactly. I would totally do that in black. Like that dress, all black. I would wear that.

Ada 

What if you did all black and different textures? 

Koss

Yeah, exactly. No, because her stuff she had like velvets and she had like, something that was kind of matte. And then she had like that stuff that was shimmery. Like that’s why it was great because of all of these features.

Ada 

Yeah, I do have to say that Tan’s pants. The purple ones. The cargo pants. They just kind of look like a poorly executed Big Four pattern Big Five.

Ada 

We could probably make them I was just like, oh no. They looked better when you were sitting down

Nicole

do you have a favorite look Esther?

Esther

Um I don’t know I have a favorite. I guess the one that was like the the fertility goddess with the drape. I thought that was cool. And the other one

Koss

Yeah I thought that was really cool. I’m really surprised.

Esther

The one with the gold lining that they said was like too much. With like, the corset and everything I did like the impact of that, like gold lining did make me go ooh.

Koss

I kind of liked that. It was plisse gold and not like, satin. It had like that shimmery? I liked that.

Ada 

I don’t know. I looked at the drape. I think the draping was cool. But the unitard with under, kind of gave me like figure skating outfit vibe,

Koss

which is probably why I was into it.

Ada 

I was like, Oh, that’s really cool. And like you definitely get the motion with the draping which was cool, but I was like I can kind of get why they weren’t like wow,

Koss

it does look a bit costume-y, like you could totally wear something like with like less of a, not even, like you could totally wear this at like Comic Con. And yes,

Ada 

actually, I think if the mesh was just sheer and not sequined or beaded it could have, like it wouldn’t have been so much texture in one place.

Koss

I liked that though. I liked that it was beaded with the contrast with like the pinkish silk, I didn’t love the pink though.

Ada 

I didn’t love the pink color. Nicole looks deep in thought.

Nicole

Well, okay, so the designer that has the disability with their left hand who designed the Thanos Infinity Gauntlet. I appreciate what they’re going for. You know. I am worried that that they are going to be the ones that get get kicked off, I hope not but also. But also like would I say it was the worst? I don’t think so. 

Koss

It was kind of, 

Nicole

but it was pretty bad

Nicole

 You know? And it would be a shame to not see not learn more about that designer.

Koss

I know.

Nicole

That’s what I am currently worried about. Because they clearly have, you know, really unique style and the body of work. The snippets that we got to see are very cool, but I’m hopeful

Koss

It’s like the one who did the yellow dress like the Beyonce dress. 

Ada 

Yeah. 

Koss

I feel like I want to see more from them. But there’s also a real chance they might leave

Nicole

that’s what I yeah, I don’t want anyone to leave. I want to see 

Ada 

Yeah, 

Nicole

What else that you’re gonna do. I wouldn’t mind seeing the engineer turned fashion designer. I wouldn’t necessarily miss him. No offense, Esther. No offense to my engineer friends.

Koss

I wouldn’t either.

Nicole

I was stunned by their reaction to to it though. Yeah. Donatella was like, I love it. Wha? Are we looking at the same thing?

Ada 

I think they were like, I understand the vibe and what he was going for, and that perhaps there was like a construction challenge. But then I’m like, Huh,

Ada 

that’s a prize. Right?

Koss

But also you can like, I get that right. The it’s not a sewing challenge.

Ada 

It’s on a sewing challenge. It’s not.

Koss

It’s a design challenge, and so like, it’s probably going to catch up to him the fact that he can’t construct stuff but if they can see the vision that’s what they’re grading on.

Ada 

Yeah, I think in season one I didn’t rewatch the whole thing but in season one they had a few people at the beginning who were like that and it definitely like bit them in the ass later on.

Nicole

I hadn’t thought about that. I guess I hadn’t thought about it as a design, I mean it’s called “Next in Fashion” but I think I was maybe entering the evening, you know, thinking about it as a sewing competition as opposed to a design competition so that’s helpful for me as we move forward with the season.

Ada 

Well, now that we finished episode one and Mochi is clearly very displeased.

Nicole

This guy doesn’t care.

Ada 

Zizou’s like, I’m comfortable.

Esther

What was the most royal thing? Like, what was what defined a royal for you? Because this royal

Nicole

Royal puppies.I don’t know.

Koss

So I like this outfit that was black and gold with the gold please say but yes, I would have removed the corsets because I thought that all of them like in the shimmery gold was enough. Like it didn’t do anything more. And that felt really royal to me like the huge like it’s kind of like collar shoulders like I thought that was pretty powerful.

Nicole

So when that person earlier I don’t remember who was said that, you know, what, I think royal I think shoulders I was like, Oh yeah, that’s true. But then as I’m going through examples of royalty that I know from just history, whatever history I’ve been exposed to, it’s kind of like a European royalty. Like I when I think of it I think of like Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid or I’m watching Shadow and Bone so you know, okay. But I was I finished it but like, you know, like, Russian royalty like outfits and I guess. And then so I was running through what I knew about Philippine royalty but if you’re primarily indigenous, there is no like royalty hierarchy who is more tribal and chieftain. So I’m just thinking about that too. Like what that means in terms of what I think of as royalty whether it’s narrower or more narrow than it needs to be.

Esther
Ada, thoughts?

Ada 

Well, as you were saying that I was like, I don’t know if you’ve seen the musical or clips from the musical Siix. It’s about Henry the 8ths dead wives. Like reimagine them as like a modern pop group. And if you look at some of the costumes on there, that the cape thing that you said about like European royalty definitely stood out. But also the shoulders are like really big on all of the costumes. But also, the thing that I was going to add is that the Nefertiti Infinity Gauntlet one kind of gave the same vibes executed not well, right, like poor fabric choice. But it does remind me a little bit of those costumes because there is kind of that 1500s bodice vibe. Although, he was more going for, like, the encased. I just think like poor fabric choice and I am guilty of poor fabric choice all the time. So I feel like that when she gets more redemption. It wasn’t the most royal to me. It was just what stood out kind of through the conversation. And then I don’t know. I don’t know if I would say any of them really scream very royal. I would kind of like rebuff them on the whole red carpet thing. Because if you think about like, you know, modern royalty and like what do we see now? It’s Hollywood a lot of red carpets and red carpet dresses.

Koss

Yeah, for sure. Like when they when they say the theme is royalty. I was like, also Met Gala. That’s what you would wear there.

Nicole

I liked the bug cape and that dress like, I like what it ended up being like, I thought that is actually that might actually be my favorite look. I don’t know what that says about me. But I think you know, the texture of the cape. The fact that it was just like this big voluminous cape as well. That reminded me of royalty, and I just thought the dress. I liked the dress as it was the day before. But you know.

Ada
With the sleeves.

Nicole

Yeah. And not like the cutouts and everything. Well, I guess it was only a bodice the day before. Yeah, I liked that. And I think I wonder if you reframe it and use you know what? Because what was his explanation for royalty, for it being royalty? Like what was his muse? I don’t even remember.

Ada

JLo. I

Nicole

Was that the theme?

Ada 

Well then, I was like JLo would have just come out in a cape. And I was like, You’re not wrong..

Nicole

Yeah, but also would she? Like I mean, but the whole thong in the back felt really JLo. Like the expose on the sides on the back.

Koss

I feel like a slip bias dress under that cape would have been like, perfect. Would have been really JLo as well.

Ada 

Or you could have just gone for, they knew that Versace was like gonna be there. They could have just gone for the Versace dress. I think it was Versace dress.

Nicole

Was it? Yeah. I know which one you’re talking about. The one that she recently rewire.

Ada 

Yeah, green Versace.

Koss

Okay, Google this.

Ada

It’s you know this dress.

Nicole

You will instantly recognize it. Yeah.

Koss

Yeah. Oh, I see. Wait I want to see more in detail.

Nicole

I remember how shocking it was when when it came out. I was in high school. But looking back on it. I’m like, it’s just a really pretty dress. Like yeah, I guess it wasn’t that. Scandalous to me now as an adult.

Ada 

Let us know if you liked this. We’re probably gonna keep watching this show.

Koss

Yeah, I guess I guess if people like it, we could do a reaction video of the last episode.

Ada 

Oh, yeah, that would be good. Alright, thanks for watching.
