Season 3 Finale of 1000-Lb Best Friends: Stylist’s Tips Spark Debate Among Fans
In the Season 3 finale of 1000-Lb Best Friends, Dr. Procter hosted a luncheon for the bariatric support group to celebrate their achievements. In preparation for this special event, the women of the friend group sought the advice of a stylist, hoping to find outfits that would flatter their figures and boost their confidence. However, the results left many viewers feeling disappointed.
A Styling Challenge
Throughout the season, fans witnessed the group grapple with their fashion choices, especially as they navigated the complexities of dressing their changing bodies. Notably, Scott and Vannessa’s shopping trip highlighted the difficulties of finding suitable clothing, as Scott struggled to fit into most items available.
The group’s hope was that the stylist could help them revamp their wardrobes. Unfortunately, many viewers felt the stylist missed the mark.
Fans Express Discontent
After the finale aired, a Reddit user shared their thoughts: “I have to be honest… the stylist was a fail. While the stylist and her team looked fantastic, they celebrated a bold pageant aesthetic that didn’t translate well for the ladies.”
The commenter noted that the stylist seemed to overlook each woman’s unique shape, dressing Vannessa in outfits that didn’t align with her post-surgery body, which was now under 200 pounds. They criticized the choice of looks for a luncheon, suggesting that the outfits resembled more of a “club” vibe rather than being appropriate for the occasion.
“It’s all about Confidence™️,” the user wrote, “but I think misguided ‘confidence’ isn’t helpful. It should focus on realistic styles that truly flatter their bodies and coloring. What do others think?”
Overwhelming Criticism from Viewers
Many Redditors echoed the original poster’s sentiments, voicing their dissatisfaction with the new outfits. Comments included:
- “I mostly agree. It felt like they were given a size and just picked anything. Meghan didn’t fit that skirt well at all. They should consider body shapes when styling!”
- “The outfits were atrocious! I could have styled them better at the Gap or Old Navy. It was way too over the top.”
- “Absolutely! They could have used shapewear and styled them nicely, but instead, they wrapped them in body-con dresses two sizes too small, making it hard for them to walk. What were they thinking?”
Conclusion
As the 1000-Lb Best Friends season comes to a close, the debate over the stylist’s effectiveness highlights the challenges of finding flattering fashion for plus-sized bodies. While the intention to boost confidence was clear, many fans felt the execution fell short, leaving them eager for more thoughtful styling in the future.
