We’re baaaaack! After a mini-hiatus, we’re kicking things off with some brain candy: Another Simple Favor! The sequel to A Simple Favor has everything we love: mystery, murder, and a wardrobe so extra you could watch the movie on mute and still be entertained. Blake Lively returns as Emily, serving high camp, insane hats, oversized tailoring, and looks that scream Murder Mommy Mob Wife, all courtesy of costume designer Renée Ehrlich Kalfus (A Simple Favor, Hidden Figures, Friends With Benefits). Anna Kendrick’s Stephanie may have a few cute ‘fits, but let’s be real: this is ol’ blondie’s runway.

We break down the couture-level costumes, discuss how Blake’s real-life stylist-free choices influence her character’s wardrobe, and compare it all to the chaotic looks in It Ends With Us (double pants trigger warning). You won’t find any litig**tion speak here, but you WILL find us spiraling into tangents on Marie’s totally healthy Babygirl obsession, our new segment (?) "Dakota Unchained," Party Girl’s 30th anniversary, and even a little Seth Rogen love. It's unhinged, it's fabulous, it's Makeover Montage.
