Not So Ugly Betty

She's back!!
Mode's fav assistant to the editor-in-chief is back. 3rd year at Mode and still, Betty Suarez' style have not changed the least bit! Sporting colorful, mismatched, loud outfits, bushy eyebrows, unkempt hair and signature braces, Betty is still an eyesore. And, I'm begining to get a bit tired of her ever chirpy, incessantly annoying voice and 'oh-i'm-just-so-positive-&-good' attitude.

So, my focus on the show now are actually Amanda, Mark and Wilhemina. These 3 never fail to crack me up with laughter over their outrageous antics and each week, I look forward to seeing what they'd be wearing. Oh, fashion at it's best when it comes to the dressing of these 3 characters. Guess who was roped in to do the styling for this season? The mother of all stylists, Patricia Fields. No wonder the fashionable ones in the show are so super... urm... fashionable this season!
Sure, Wilhemina's style might be slightly OTT sometimes, but what the heck. The woman's now co-editor-in-chief of the fictional fashion bible of NYC, so she's she's allowed to overdress and suffocate herself in all the luxurious animal prints and mink she can get her manicured claws on.
I would love to play dress up like this to go hunting... If I ever do go hunting...
My take on Season 3's wardrobe:
  • Love anything on Amanda, Mark and Wilhemina
  • Daniel Meade ~ no comment
  • Claire Meade ~ Her outfits seem to be wearing her more than she wearing them. They look too big for her skinny frame
  • Hilda Suarez ~ not too sure about her. Seems too 'Queens' to me
  • Ugly Betty ~ the word 'ugly' says it all...
  • All other characters ~ didn't make any lasting impression on me
