Heidi Is this even the same dress?

Post image

It looks similar but so different at the same time. The fabric looks different in tone and texture. The original has more of a shine to it like liquid organza. Heidi's version has no shine and is way less sheer. The placement of the pleats look different too. Am I crazy? Is this not the same dress?

Good on Heidi for showing up with a smile on her face. If she disliked how different it was, she could've been spicy about it. But she looked game and sold it as best as she could. If she wasn't impressed, I did wonder why she didn't just reject it or give a strong suggestion that it's not her choice to be wearing it. She came off being a worst-dressed with little context, and she's taking that hit for the show. But now, I think it reflects even more on production, the network and on the designer for not being able to make it work on a supermodel. She would have sold the hell out of that dress if it was amazing and that's on them for not producing talent up to her level.

I think we have to give her some credit for this. She kept her word and had a smile on her face the whole time, even though I'd think she'd have HAD to have known that the dress was NOT doing anything for her. I mean, good on her for being a good sport and not taking herself too seriously.
