Ugh, just as I was saying how happy I was... Liam was on.

BUT - I adooooored KKL's look today. Red is her color and I LOVED HER hair. Loved, loved, loved. I love the waves too, but straight fits KKL so well. My girl SHINED today.

The red is stunning... but it's too much. The blouse should've either been darker or white. And the middle-part straight hair is a good look on her.

[Maxim]

I agree about darker!

I look at that pic and -  I don't know what I would have picked for a shell with that red jacket.  Odd, but reds can go with reds - so I would actually want to see a mauve/burgundy.  Then probably throw that out and go with cream or white.  

What I do notice now - all over the place.  It's everywhere and I did not want it to ever return.  Gold jewelry. I think it looks great on Tanned Italians.  Not anyone else.  I just love silver and white gold and platinum.

I agree about the burgundy! If I have to be really honest, I am not loving the style of the show in the past few years. 2024 is an improvement from... for example 2022... when Brooke was wearing oversized sweatshirts while crying about Ridge for months at a time. That year lacked so much in terms of fashion. The hair department is a big mess. KKL knows at this point what looks good on her, but she had some horror movie moments through the years. LIKE, horrible, horrible. Now, she just KNOWS and it works. I can't say the same for the youngER leading ladies. I am hating both Steffy and Hope's looks recently and their haircuts are not how I envision these characters. They are ageing them as hell. Especially Steffy. It's been a mess recently. A MESS. Also her outfits most of the time don't work. From time to time, she looks like a complete Goddess thought and that's what they should try to achieve every time. I also don't like how they are styling Poppy and Luna. Chaos. Don't get me started on the bushy beards on some men and their unfinished haircuts with hairy necks - not my cup of tea for a soap opera about glamorous fashion people. But I can't complain when at least they are wearing some fashions lately and we are out of the sweatshirts and jogging pants.

THE GOOD...I liked everything surrounding the Brooke's Bedroom relaunch. The scenery is definitely nice. And the message I continue to feel is a great one. And KKL is rocking it. Of course. And Steffy is giving great snark.

 

THE BAD...I was intrigued by the idea of the Mystery Woman. Perhaps I would still be irked if I had been unspoiled, but definitely irked seeing the scene. Rebecca Budig???? Yeeeah NO.

 

They did IMHO an excellent job in reintroducing Taylor in the form of Krista Allen. It was so old school in fact how she was reintroduced. From reintroducing her slowly by characters we like to her being made over for a while to look like HT's Taylor. And then...she got moments and then storylines. So I was sad to see her vanish. And now Taylor is back like THIS???

I like Steffys haircut. It’s better than those wigs she wears all the time at least. Hope is a hit or miss

[Maxim]

Steffy wears wigs all the time? WHAT? I haven't seen her wear even one wig. Am I blind or something? Can you prove your statement?

These are not wigs. That's JMW's hair with hair extensions. Do you know what a wig is? 

[Boldsoaps]

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s a wig. You can tell by how thick the top is.

[Maxim]

JMW has always had VERY VERY thick hair. Even thicker in the earlier years. This is NOT a wig. 

[Boldsoaps]

Whatever it is. Doesn’t negotiate my point that she looks better without it. Soo..

Also if those are extensions. They are badly done. It’s given wig.

[Aback]

JMW is the queen of wigs. She’s worn thousands during her run. 

[Maxim]

I'm not saying that she looks good with them, just that what I see in your examples are... extensions. She may have worn wigs during the years when I haven't watched, but when I Have, it's only been extensions. I don't remember seeing her with an actual wig. Maybe I am forgetting something. 

And that once again confirms my opinion that the hair department has been a mess in the show. 

Can you show show me a picture or a clip of one of those thousands of times? Maybe I've been blind or something... Thousands? Wow... Where have I been all those years? I don't remember even 1. Can I see just one and I'll admit I'm wrong. What Boldsoaps showed me are definitely not wigs. I've watched those episodes in FHD. I would have known. It's badly done hair extensions. Which is not a wig.
