It’s back!!!
I toyed with the idea of not re-capping The Bachelor’s bachelorette frocks for this season, but after watching the first episode last night, I couldn’t resist going another round this season!
I’m not going to be giving a run down of what happened in each episode, there’s way too many people doing a very fine job of that out there already – here on Forty Up, it’s going to be all about the frocks. And to keep it positive I’ll be featuring only my favourite frocks each night, not the worst. There’s enough of that doing the rounds too!
The first episode is particularly hard to judge in one sense because you don’t know the girls yet, on the other hand, the dress should represent the girl’s personality if she’s getting picked on a purely first impression! Lordy, lord, there is so much I don’t like about this show – but oh my goodness there is so much hilarity as well!
So, this is all purely my humble opinion, I’d love for you to tell me in the comments below what you agreed or disagreed with! There was a lot of glitz, thighs & plunging necklines this episode!
It’s also particularly hard to only pick 5 dresses out of 20!
Let the judging begin!
Firstly, let’s meet our Bachelor for 2016, Richie, famously coming 2nd on The Bachelorette – these girls obviously have no problems with sloppy seconds – but he does seem to be rather lovely, & cute – & he’s a Perth boy! What’s not to love?
Richie
Suit, Shirt, Bow Tie: Dom Bagnato
Shoes: Aquila
Cufflinks: Thomas Sabo
Watch: TW Steel
Number 1 – Nikki
Nikki was the first girl Richie met which is a pretty tough job when you’re followed up by 19 other girls. I think she looked sensational, it was my fave dress from beginning to end!
Dress: Jason Grech
Earrings and Ring: Swarovski
Shoes: Windsor Smith
Number 2 – Eliza
Ok, Eliza is a fruitcake, but when she first got out of the car with that bond girl type music playing in the background she looked smoking! This is a Wheels & Doll Baby dress which we haven’t seen in the previous season, I hope we get to see more like it!
Dress: Wheels and Dollbaby
Earrings, Ring, Bracelet: Samantha Wills
Shoes: Wittner
Number 3 – Noni
The undies! They’re not undies, they’re part of the outfit & I think Noni looked total celebrity in this skirt & top. Very Chrissy Tighe or JLo. You go girl!
Top and Skirt: Amy Taylor
Earrings: Colette
Rings: Samantha Wills
Shoes: Windsor Smith
Number 4 – Alex
Alex is probably the odds on favourite to win right now. This dress isn’t anything flashy, but the colour is amazing & it fits her like a glove. It’s Elle Zeitoune which we saw a lot of last season.
Dress: Elle Zeitoune Luxe
Earrings: Salsuli
Bangle and earrings: Samantha Wills
Shoes: Windsor Smith
Number 5 – Vintaea
Controversial choice? Poor old Vintaea, I loved her old school glamour, so sophisticated until she spoke! She just didn’t realise what she’d gotten herself in for – but I thought she looked lovely!
Dress: George Elsissa
Earrings: House of Emmanuele
Shoes: Novo Shoes
So what do you think? Who wore your fave frock this week?
