Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes.

So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc.

Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic.

Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion.

The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.

Party wardrobe color theme:

Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown.

The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink
(with purple accents)
-- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses.
-- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket.
(did not see Naomi?)

"The help" Eva and Mona are in black.

Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown.

The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black.
Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket.
(Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background)
Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie).***
Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket.
Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket.
Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket.
(did not see Jacob?)

I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

*** Edit: Vernon was wearing a cravat, not a turtleneck, as was pointed out downthread.

Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous.
The light green flashback dress was quite different than
the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.
 

I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.

It was a good episode. I didn't expect things to unravel so soon.

 

One thing I still don't like about these big events: Where was everyone else?

 

This is a big event. Everyone should've been there.

Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission.

Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well.

I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.

Vernon actually had a cravat not a turtleneck.

I didn't like Nicole's dress with her breastes prominent.

As long as I'm not hearing the same redneck guitar musical sting Days has been using the GWB administration, I'm okay with BTG's evolving music situation.

One of many problems of this show. It seems so easy to pick on Ashley and Derek but there's a plethora of issues that have nothing to do with either of them.

Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.
