The Bold and the Beautiful Sends Fans Into a Tizzy Debating Whether Paris and Flo’s Latest Outfits Are Haute or Not Couture

Style guru Erica Pelosini Leeman continues to make waves at the fashion-forward soap.

Ever since The Bold and the Beautiful added to its stable of talents Erica Pelosini Leeman to help make its clothes calls, viewers have… Well, how else to put it? They’ve noticed. In a big way. Not necessarily in a good way, but hey, her efforts have not been overlooked.

Largely, the audience has been flummoxed to see characters they know and love suddenly dressed for the runway instead of the office or Il Giardino. Or, to play devil’s advocate, is this the way that designers and their kin should have always been outfitted? Would a Brooke or a Zoe be caught dead in something off the rack… or would they instead climb out on a limb by donning attire that turned heads even as it confounded them?

Most recently, ensembles of Paris and Flo’s set viewers atwitter. “This don’t make any sense,” tweeted Rachelle. “What a mess! They both look like they are auditioning for clown school.”

Roslyn couldn’t make heads or tails of what she was seeing. “Why is Flo in a romper for a toddler, and what is Paris wearing? It [looks] like something Blanche would force Dorothy to wear” on The Golden Girls.

Tracey hilariously called the styling “workplace harassment. The actors should know they don’t have to take this…

“Reach out to HR,” she urged Diamond White and Katrina Bowden. “We support you.”

This is workplace harassment. The actors should know they don't have to take this. Head of #BoldandBeautiful fashion is bullying them. Reach out to HR. 😭 We support you. https://t.co/zRlC0WFJnP

The Bold and the Beautiful Sends Fans Into a Tizzy Debating Whether Paris and Flo’s Latest Outfits Are Haute or Not Couture

Most Popular

<p>When an outfit has as many buttons to button as Brooke’s, sometimes you just wanna stand there for a minute to let everyone in the room appreciate the hard work you put into getting dressed.</p>

<p>If Columbo had known as much about fashion as Brooke, his trench coats might’ve looked a whole lot sleeker.</p>

<p>Under Thomas’ navy-blue jacket, he’s working some cool-ass camo… which, come to think of it, probably only works as camo if he’s trying to hide in some indigo underbrush.</p>

<p>For some reason, wearing this particular button-down, Thomas gives us Charlie Brown vibes. Well, scruffy, buff Charlie Brown vibes, anyway.</p>

<p>Few and far between are the <em>Star Trek</em> crew members who ever filled out a Starfleet uniform as well as Thomas. And thank goodness the shirt isn’t red!</p>

<p>Bill told Wyatt that this suit made him look like a grape. Which sounded to us like, ahem, <em>sour</em> grapes. Get that eye on fashion, Daddy-O!</p>

<p>Props to Zoe: Were we to ever get into an ensemble this complicated and knotty, we’d probably have to be <em>cut</em> back out of it.</p>

<p>Who needs a man to send roses, right, Zoe? Here, she’s swathed in in a whole florist shop’s worth. Possibly two. (That dress goes all the way down to the floor!)</p>

<p>Some people wear their hearts on their sleeve, others — like Zoe — wear a sea monster on their chest. And just like that, we suddenly feel like ordering sushi.</p>

<p>This wordy top of Quinn’s seems to say the same thing over and over again. And that thing? “Letter have it.” See what we did there? Do we have to — ha! — <em>spell</em> it out for ya? We’re here all week, folks.</p>

<p>Not only does Carter’s jacket perfectly hug his legendary biceps, that turtleneck could come in awfully handy, should a tryst with secret lover Quinn leave him, so to speak, a “marked” man.</p>

<p>Cougars are so 2019. Just ask Donna here: It’s cheetah print that’s the cat’s meow in 2021.</p>

<p>Obviously, if Paris is going to give you the cold shoulder, it’s going to be the right one. Hopefully, she keeps a wrap in her office.</p>

<p>Part prom tux, part winter-formal dress, we don’t know <em>what</em> to make of this avant-garde ensemble of Paris’. But one thing we do know: That’s <em>fashion</em>, baby!</p>

<p>The color of the gown Zende gave Paris all but defines the term “bold and beautiful.”</p>

<p>Now <em>there’s</em> a get-up that makes a statement. If only we could figure out whether that statement is “<em>Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat</em> is my all-time favorite musical” or “I’m wearing the rest of my superheroine costume under this.”</p>

<p>Of <em>course</em> Zende wouldn’t wear socks with a get-up this cutting-edge. What is he, your grandpa? Pshaw.</p>

<p>Flo’s floral-print minidress is accentuated by light, lace sleeves suggesting that she wants to be prepared, should she catch a chill. But only a slight chill.</p>

<p>Thank you, Flo, for this vivid — and we <em>do</em> mean vivid — reminder that when we can’t choose which color to wear, we can just wear all of them.</p>

<p>Hemlines are rising as quickly as the temperature on <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>. But if anybody’s going to win the unofficial miniskirt challenge — sorry, Flo — it’s going to be the sex bomb who once launched Brooke’s Bedroom.</p>

<p>Judging from this take on a German peasant dress, among the heroine’s hopes for the future is to hit the catwalk at Oktoberfest.</p>

<p>Why so skeptical, Eric? Hope couldn’t have more flawlessly served Jessie from <em>Toy Story</em> realness if she’d thrown on a pair of chaps.</p>

<p>After getting an eyeful of what they dubbed Hope’s “Little Bo Beep Dress,” fans flocked to Soaps.com to play <em>Project Runway</em> judge.</p>
