Keith
This was a mess, for sure, but it definitely wasn’t the biggest mess on the runway. At least his dress looked like the inspiration photo. I’m just glad Keith didn’t get booted.
Blayne
Pride parade? Yes. Runway? No. It resembles the photo, but not in a good way. I guess only one ruffled disaster can be in the bottom three, though.
Joe
Again with the literal. First the pasta skirt and now this? I despise this dress. This guy has got to go.
Emily
Blayne’s ruffles looked like part of the dress. These look like they were glued on. More annoying than the dress was her insistence that the dress was fabulous. It wasn’t.
Leanne
Stunningly beautiful. I think she was genuinely surprised that she didn’t win. Honestly, I was too, but the more I look at Kenley’s dress, the more I see why she won. Leanne’s design is a wonderful take on a classic look, but Kenley’s is completely fresh and different. Still, Leanne’s had to have lost by a fraction of a point, really. It’s just gorgeous.
Jennifer
This Mary Poppins number is a mess and a half. The piano keys on the cuffs and the hemming? Yikes. I was shocked to see this slide through but I do like Jennifer and want to see more of her viewpoint.
Jerell
This was beautiful but it’s been done before. Like, a lot.
Kelli
Very cool, funky and unique. Not a winner, but definitely a solid design.
Daniel
Another solid design, but where’s the risk? I’m not seeing any here. This is a safe dress.
Kenley
I adore this dress. The unusual print (risk), the exposed ombre tulle (risk), the shape and silhouette (risk) - all paid off. Not to mention that Shannone walked that dress like nobody’s business. Kenley pushed the boundaries of safety with this design and she definitely deserved the win.
Suede
This look gets one and a half finger guns.
Stella
While this look has a limited audience and Stella runs the risk of becoming a one-trick pony if she doesn’t break away from her leatha looks, this outfit is rockin’. The brightness of the halter top makes it look less biker chick and more biker chic.
Korto
LOVE. Making a jumpsuit could be risky, it was a brilliant risk and she totally pulled it off. That neckline and the fit is phenomenal.
Terri
A great look. The backless top offers an element of surprise to the whole outfit. I love when a designer pulls of a really great pair of pants, too.
The verdict? The right designs won and lost this week, even though the decisions were shocking in the moment.
