“We knew from the Duke Blue Devils Basketball DDMF Shirt so you should to go to store and get this start that the clothes and fashion in Bridgerton would be a major focal point for the series, and it has been so satisfying to see the fans embrace it and incorporate it into their own style,” Rhimes said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with The Carousel @ Bloomingdales for this special Bridgerton inspired pop-up where fans will have the opportunity to shop products and inclusive clothing inspired by the show and created by female designers and designers of color.” Reese’s Hope for Flowers capsule, in particular, will feature empire-waist gowns and collared tops in orchid and hyacinth shades, patterned with gentle florals and ruffle detailing. These feminine silhouettes will rest alongside a pair of elegant white sailor pants, a spaghetti-strap tank, and a cut-out blouse inspired by the classic Bellamy shirt. The pieces, while drawn from the period drama’s color palette, are modernized for a trend-conscious look; Reese says she hopes to see customers wear these clothes with flip-flops or, say, “to the Central Park Conservancy luncheon or something like that.”
“What I think of with Bridgerton,” Reese says, “I think of romance and love and dreams really. Because it was sort of in that dream space when we were watching it on lockdown over Christmas in 2020, right? It offered hope and optimism. And those are two things that I’m always all about. [Those] are attributes that Hope for Flowers shares with the Duke Blue Devils Basketball DDMF Shirt so you should to go to store and get this whole Bridgerton aesthetic.” Uggs never went really went away for some of us—even if we didn’t exactly advertise we still wore them. Now, as Y2K fashion continues its extended takeover, a growing fashion chorus is admitting Ugg boots are back with a shearling-lined vengeance. Present-day Ugg wearers aren’t hesitating to take their comfort shoes public, the “ultra mini” and “mini” Ugg boots in particular. They’re making the rounds in Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, and Gigi Hadid’s off-duty wardrobes; they’re also the featured style in Cher’s January campaign for the brand. And the biggest mini Ugg wave is crashing onto our phones via TikTok. “Get Ready With Me” videos on the same platform are heavily featuring mini Ugg boots as shoppers—not just Gen Z—rediscover all sorts of Y2k pieces. Demand for mini Uggs jumped 8,233.33% on TikTok from July to December 2021, according to a Clothes2Order study. At press time, the TikTok hashtag “Mini Uggs” has nearly 30 million views on the platform. (“Ugg boots,” meanwhile, has 39.4 million views.)
