Many garments, such as abayas, kaftans, and anarkalis, would be paired with festive, long capes with trains - and yes, even in white for celebratory holidays. Stanbury knows just as well that it would make no sense to make such an allegation in a Muslim country, where veils are sported everywhere. A cape or veil does not make something either a gown by default or a wedding gown on top of that. We might as well get this out of the way up front: There is no universe, in this lifetime or the next, in which Ayan was sporting a wedding dress at Caroline and Sergio’s celebration. I regret to be the one to inform her that neither she nor Kourtney Kardashian pulled off their intended aesthetic, no matter how expensive that dress was, but as ex-Countess Luann de Lesseps drunkenly warbled in a Baccarat Hotel bar once, “Money can’t buy you class” the frock not being the Shein castoff Ayan facetiously claimed it was doesn’t elevate the taste level in the least bit. Even Lady Stanbury, who has been parading around with the temperament of clotted cream, seemed onboard with the run of events for the day - all that it took, apparently, was for everyone to finally cede center stage to her and her horrific attempt at a punk-rock engagement dress with matching boots. If I were Stanbury, that would be much more my speed - they even have a closer age range - but I guess “tiki tiki” time is a bigger factor for her.ĭare I say, seven episodes in, the show seems to have hit its proverbial stride? I don’t want to count the proverbial chickens before they hatch, but this is the first episode that seems to have the entire cast firing on all cylinders: The conflicts seem to have real stakes instead of feeling overwrought and contrived, and everyone seems willing to put aside alliances to engage in disputes and scenes in good faith. Sergio’s dad, by the way, is a bit of a silver fox - loyal to his family, multilingual, charming, and much less of a himbo than his happy-go-lucky progeny.
Yes, there was some light white-on-white crime - what else do you call assuming an educated family from the Iberian Peninsula would be unable to speak English? - and an almost comical misapplication of the term working class in reference to Sergio’s family, who had the means to not only travel regularly but offer to accommodate his lifestyle if he chose to come to his senses and not chain himself to a pill with more side effects than perks.
At long last, the Carrallos and Stanburys have come together for a meeting of the families, and despite all of the proverbial buildup, the ultimate encounter was rather anticlimactic.
