Paloma, La Queen De Drag Race France, Juge Les Looks Des Séries (Et Ça Clash Fort) 🤭

Unleashing Creativity and Camp

When I was a child, I used to watch French-dubbed versions of movies. One of my favorites was Tim Burton's creations. However, I must say, sorry Tim Burton, but you could have done better. But let's move on to something more exciting - drag queens. They are a massive source of inspiration. Their unique style and personality have influenced me greatly.

In fact, I practically raised my sister's children while she was in the psychiatric hospital. And let me tell you, she truly contributed to the drag queen universe. It runs in the family, you see. Her mother, her grandmother, they all had that hyper-camp, leather vibe. It's like Paloma is a combination of Miss Fine and my leather-clad alter ego, Dora. It's a fabulous mix, let me tell you!

A Parody of Fashion and Taste

Now, let's talk about a series that has completely revolutionized the world of fashion. I'm talking about "Caribrato." Each character in the show has a unique and non-cliché identity, closely linked to renowned fashion designers. For example, Charlotte embodies Prada, while Samantha is all about Versace and Gucci. As for Caribrato, she effortlessly blends Jimmy Choo and Dolce & Gabbana. It's a fashion lover's dream come true!

The iconic outfits in "Caribrato" are mainly worn by Samantha, who happens to be the show's iconic character. She takes fashion to a whole new level. But let me be honest here, there's one thing I don't particularly like about Kaaris' fashion sense. She started this trend of wearing logos, and I must say, I adore it! However, for me, haute couture and luxury go beyond just showing off logos. Nonetheless, there's so much to say about this series, especially from a fashion perspective.

The Disappointing Remake of "Wendy"

Now, let's move on to a remake that falls short of expectations. I'm a huge fan of "The Addams Family," whether it's the 1960s series or the movies starring Angelica Huston and Christina Ricci. Unfortunately, this remake is a disappointment on many levels. First of all, it's not well executed, sorry Tim Burton, but you could have done better. And the acting, oh my! It's just not up to par.

What I did find interesting about Wendy is the clear return to the gothic fashion of the 2000s. However, what was once a niche fashion trend has now become hyper-fashionable. And that's where Wendy loses its originality. It's supposed to be about embracing individuality and being an outsider, but it ends up being quite ordinary.

On the other hand, there are series like "Elizabeth Most" that truly showcase the evolution of a character through fashion. As the series progresses, Elizabeth starts abandoning her feminine wardrobe and embraces a more masculine style. She gains respect from men, while Christine Hendrix, who embodies the 1950s, voluptuous aesthetic, becomes the object of ridicule. It's a powerful representation of how clothing has always been used to oppress women.

The Iconic Impact of "Friends"

Ah, "Friends." It's a series that has had a significant impact on pop culture. But let's focus on one particular aspect - Rachel's hair. Jennifer Aniston's hairstyle in the show was a phenomenon in the 90s. Everyone wanted to have "the Rachel" haircut. It's fascinating how a hairstyle can become such a trendsetter.

The 90s were a generation where everything from hairstyles to makeup and clothes became outdated. But for some reason, "Friends" managed to remain relevant. It's like there's a vortex that keeps it fresh and appealing. I mean, just think about the very first scene of the series, where they're all in the museum with historical costumes. Dominique Jackson looks absolutely imperial in that outfit. The costumes, the fashion, the designers - they all serve the purpose of enhancing the fictional world of the show.

The Misfire of "Bridgerton" and the Beauty of "Downton Abbey"

Now, let's talk about "Bridgerton." As a historian and a costume enthusiast, I must admit, I couldn't quite get on board with it. The historical inaccuracies and the overall unattractive costumes just didn't serve the purpose of the story. Even if the intention was to give it a modern twist, it still fell short. But hey, I'm just too much of a snob to appreciate it.

On the other hand, there's a series like "Downton Abbey" that truly captures the beauty of period costumes. It may be a bit like "The Young and the Restless" set in the 1920s, but let's not kid ourselves, the costumes are absolutely stunning. In contrast, "Bridgerton" is visually lacking, not just in terms of costumes but also in the overall execution and music choices. I mean, Madonna turned into a harpsichord? Come on! It's just not my cup of tea.

In the end, it all comes down to personal taste and preference. We each have our own unique perspectives and opinions on what makes a series or a movie great. But one thing is for sure - fashion, style, and the way they are portrayed on screen have the power to captivate and inspire us. Whether it's through the extravagant world of drag queens, the iconic hairstyles of "Friends," or the beauty of period costumes, fashion in the entertainment industry continues to shape our culture and ignite our imagination.
