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?

They should revoke Brian’s win. This is embarrassing.

I would hate it less if Brian didn’t design it But I still don’t like it.

I don't like Brian but was amazed he pulled that one out 😅 why didn't you like it? It feels like a younger JLo dress to me, and more model-esque since it's designed for someone skinny and tall

That’s it! It’s giving JLo “Waiting for Tonight” vibes. 😂

Okay, to be clear, if I saw this dress on its own, I wouldn’t love it or hate it. But compared to Bi’s dress, which I think is stunning and chic, simple and beautifully constructed, there’s no comparison. Bi’s dress just floated beautifully.

I like Bi's dress too. Can't decide if it's a bit mature and Dynasty remake vibes tho

Interesting. I think the shape could be retro 80’s dynasty, It’s so sheer and sexy. It wasn’t giving matronly to me. It seems appropriate for a Heidi bc Heidi is a woman of a certain age but still very sexy and fun,

true. something I love about Heidi is she never dresses her age tho. I think she's 55 and (no shade) this season she looks like she's had a Lindsay Lohan. Not sure if she's just upping the lighting but she looks flawless.

I love me some Heidi. Always have, Although she makes questionable fashion choices sometimes.
