This week in Genoa City, our Fashion Spies have been desperately on the lookout for those that reign supreme in the Fashion Department and those that should be thrown under the jail for their fashion choices. I couldn’t find a Fashion queen this week, but I managed to find some Fashion Hits and Misses. Oh, how difficult it is to find great apparel in this small city that is consumed with the Filthy Rich and Famous and a nice little boutique called Fenmore’s.
Lets keep in mind that Y & R is a soap whose theme is centered around business professionals/corporate life. I would say 95% of the time we will see corporate attire with an occasional treat of casual/other attire. With that being said, let’s examine our fab look choices:

This week I admired a few pieces on the Homecoming Queen Runner-up a.k.a. Phyllis :
Her jail attire was a nice black cocktail dress, one shoulder piece that hits above the knee. The piece really complimented Phyllis, unfortunately, as she made her way to lock up,

Look, she is even posed for the royal court photo:

Another thumbs up goes to Phyllis in her business attire on her wedding anniversary.
This piece is very fitting for spring, a black and white one piece dress with a light and business look to it. Very sophisticated for Phyllis and fitting to her actions on Friday’s episode-no drama, attempting to be a better person.

ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS!

The most hideous fashion pieces I’ve seen this week besides some of the wedding day dresses was on none other than Gloria, Esther & of course Amber. Thee (not the, but thee) ugliest outfits I’ve seen on a person and to add insult to injury on Kay’s wedding day, while at the bar Gloria wears something of similar print to this tragic piece below. Don’t worry folks, the fashion police were called, she’s being picked up as we speak, they found her at K-Mart in the Jaclyn Smith collection.

She looks so proud in this pic, so sad

Another character that is true to put the T in Tacky is Esther, I’ve been waiting for her to return to her maid’s uniform. You be the judge!

Another Miss, I guess the fashion police are still tied up, because here we have another culprit waiting to be sentenced. What in the HELL does Amber have on? With those shoestrings around her neck?

OMG! It’s Barbie Fashion Fever! Get out your accessories…

This week I must admit that I stumbled across a pattern and I haven’t paid attention to it in the past but there was this theme going on in Genoa City with these upgraded dog tags, I mean chokers, well you know what I mean.

It reminds me of a commercial back in the day where they were talking about peer pressure and it went something like “Everybody’s doing it…” with this pumped up aerobics music in the background. Why are all of the ladies in Genoa City wearing these hideous chokers? I feel like I’m playing with a Barbie Doll and looking in her Super Glam Accessories set and VOILA!

Kay got the memo:

Olivia got the memo:

Lauren got the memo:

Nikki got the memo (hers is not that bad)

How did Amber get the memo? Did she make these?

Calling all EXTENSIONS to the party!!

Well, this week, we saw two new do’s on Mistress A and he wants her to be his Mistress B. Yes, my friends, Tyra a.k.a. Mistress A and NuMac a.k.a. he wants her to be his Mistress B have added on extensions to their look:

Tyra

Mac

Sooooo do we likeeee?

Personally, I like Tyra’s hair at the wedding, which is the latter pic, when she has short hair, I’d prefer the wet and curly look that she rocked on ANTM verses the short styles that she had on Y and R. Thumbs up for Tyra’s new look from me! For Mac, I wish she’d get lighter hair color. Maybe I’ll need a little more time for me to adjust with Mac’s nu look.

A definite NO-NO in the hair department!

Call the Fire Department! The return of Psycho Annie and her Electrifying hair. Please, no more! Lay off the hair dye. Whomever decided that it is okay to poor 20 packets of RED kool-aid in her dye mix is just plain old wrong. Can they speed up her confession, judgment, etc? I feel like I have just come across an ATOMIC FIRE BALL piece of candy.

So this week, with this whacked out storyline, we had a chance to see a clothing repeat on Ashley. Note: This is a soap and yes it is grotesque that Ashley unknowingly, wore a dress that Sabrina wore the night of her accident-but it is still just a soap.

Let’s Examine who wore it best (keep in mind, I dug through old crates to find Sabrina in the dress)

Sabrina

Ashley

This is a little tough, simply because Ashley was in the dress for about 2 nanoseconds before The Mustache told her to “kindly take that off”. But looking at both, I believe Sabrina’s look in the dress was better, Sabrina height and poise allowed this look to be very sophisticated. The dress worn isn’t the best dress I’ve ever seen and both looked nice, but I think Sabrina wore this dress better. Do you agree?

As usual, some sick person in wardrobe decides to go shopping for one of our casts’ hotties (and we don’t have too many hotties on Y & R) with an idea to make them look cool. NOT COOL. LITERALLY! Only this HORRIFIC fashion choice makes everyone hot with anger and actually umm, hot.

A fashion spy spotted The Great Billy Abbott wearing a brown pleather jacket on this week’s Y & R. I mean, with the introduction of Spring, you’d think they tossed it after last week, who knows if they did or if it will re-appear but this week we saw it in a FLASHBACK!!!

How cruel is that? Billy should NEVER EVER be seen in this jacket again or Billy Miller fans should start a petition for this jacket to be burned to a crisp. Lets stay on the lookout for this piece of work. Wardrobe you are killing us here. Enough with the jokes okay.

Tune in next time for a closer look at our wedding guests and their attire at Kay and Murphy’s wedding.
