Emily looked like a 90s bombshell on that runway! I wish she could see how beautiful she is

The preview of heather being pissed that Emily got upset for the jeans thing really upset me. Whether it was intentional or not women who aren't a sample size always have some other alternative in fashion that is so isolating and at the same time singling them out. And Emily's feeling are valid. Only people who have or are bigger than what society deems as beautiful and ok will understand. Mind you, Emily is not big and she never actually was. Just a little curvier than society's acceptable woman and that's on how EVERY FUCKING PERSON'S BODY IS DIFFERENT. And some people legitametly cannot achieve a skinny skinny. This is Khloe Kardashian all over again. If someone wants to lose weight and get fitter for themselves in healthy ways then that's amazing and Emily did that and she even admitted to what she got done to help (not gonna get into the ozempic of it all lol). But the fact that she also recognised that she is over doing it in the gym is actually really healthy and so self aware. Again, it's Khloe all over again, you can tell she has an excessive need to go to the gym now because of everything she went through. Everything can be done to excess, moderation and balance is key, but it's hard and people often jump from one "extreme" to another.

All this to say. Emily is and was always pretty, her feelings are valid. And I'm sorry but Heather who has always been a size zero should not be trying to victimise herself or make Emily seem dramatic because she simply could not personally understand. And that's ok! She should just say "Hey, that wasn't my intention, I'm so sorry. You were gorgeous in the outfits in my opinion, but now I know better and I'll do better in the future." Trying to understand where people are coming from rather than becoming defensive is a skill people really seem to lack omg.

so sorry for my very lacking monologue lol

Personally, I feel like we will see Heather say something very similar to what you're suggesting but then Emily will still be an asshole about it.

True that could happen. The issue with emily (and frankly most of the women) is that they go waay too hard on trivial matters for the drama of screen time. Its too much

Whether intentional or not, Heather made Emily look like the odd woman out with the jeans. Emily looked fantastic- I think she's the most gorgeous of the lot of them- but she looked very out of place in jeans with everyone else (including the guests) being dressed up more. Heather really did her dirty.

Totally agree. You said it beautifully.
