Bachelorette Season 21 is finally here, which means another round of steamy dates, messy love triangles, and heart-stopping drama. The Season 21 premiere on July 8, starring Jenn Tran, did not disappoint. From cheeky limousine arrivals (one of the suitors wore a butt-baring hospital gown) to a wild game of Truth or Dare, Night 1 got off to a deliciously chaotic start.
Of course, some contestants made a bigger impression than others, thanks to pun-filled pickup lines, naughty confessions and the confidence of a man who can strip down and sway his hips. No amount of TV binge-watching, however, could distract me from the shining star episodes: Jenn’s plunging dress.
The details of Jenn’s shimmering plunging dress
As expected, the Bachelorettes’ premiere party outfits are always highly anticipated. So far, the former heroines have established a de facto dress code: shimmering numbers Although Jenn’s performance on the show as the franchise’s first Asian-American heroine made history, she followed tradition and gravitated toward the glitter motif.
To meet her suitors, the medical assistant student wore a fitted white dress with a plunging neckline and a mermaid-like silhouette. Further tapping into the mermaidcore trend trending on TikTok, Randi Rahm’s custom ensemble was covered in intricate scallop-shaped beading that resembled a mermaid’s fishtail.
The New York-based designer is a staple of former Bachelorettesespecially for premiere nights. Clare Crawley, Tayshia Adams and Hannah Brown, among others, all kicked off their seasons in similarly intricate and sparkling gowns from the designer.
While the exact price of Jenns’ dress isn’t available, Rahms’ previous sparkly creations for the reality show have cost anywhere from $12,500 to $40,000, so Jenns’ dress likely comes in at a similarly hefty price tag.
Her Mermaidcore Do
Even her beauty look was mermaid-inspired. Jenn styled her hair in long, loose waves that were perfectly wrapped in front of her arms. Meanwhile, she kept the rest of her beauty look simple with glossy lips and a subtle smokey eye.
