I know that there are people who don’t want Betty to change at all, and I can understand why, but it is extremely unlikely that after working at MODE for a few years that she wouldn’t pick up some fashion and beauty tips, just as it is unlikely that she’d have braces on her teeth forever.

LOL – well, at least I don’t feel so alone anymore. I thought I was the only one who thought that Betty was getting a little too stylish too soon. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve always expected that Betty would undergo some changes with time, and I definitely welcome it. After all, change is a natural part of growing up. But in regards to Betty’s physical appearance, I liked the “conservative”, gradual approach that Eduardo took in making those changes happen, as was seen last season. Her look in Season 2 was colorful, quirky, yet subtle in change – which, to me, matches well with Betty’s sensible personality. But Patricia Field’s costumes seem more obvious – like they’re screaming out to you (which I suppose worked well on SATC).

As I mentioned over at the B&B comm, I definitely love the colors and I certainly like the flowery dress, but I guess I was expecting for Betty to hold off a little while longer on being more “stylish”. Naturally, I don’t want to see Betty change too fast too soon, especially since we’re only coming upon the third season. But hey – I still see the red glasses and braces, so to me, that’s a good sign at this point in time. LOL.

And the evidence is found by another eagle-eyed Getty from MGSG (a 3rd one won’t hurt anybody, right stu ;p)

Here it is on the banner to the left it definitely says Player:

Okay, yeah… It’s PLAYER magazine. You can see it on one of the banners in this photo series– http://gothamist.com/2008/07/08/ugly_betty_1.php?gallery6937Pic=2#gallery

It’s gonna be an interesting season, then!

Okay… So after much discussion at MGSG’s forums, one of our eagle-eyed Gettys with a freakish memory (lol!) came up with theory that Daniel may be working for PLAYER magazine which was mentioned in Grin and Bear It as a Meade publication.

Makes sense with all that’s going on in the 7/8/08 photos and explains the letters on the capes the models are wearing and the P on the banners… Here’s a clip from that episode that mentions the mag—

That paired with Betty possible apartment hunting already has me anxiously awaiting the premiere of season 3–I think we’re going to be seeing a stronger, more confident Betty!

I love this outfit; it really works on her. I think Eric’s comment above pretty much summed it up: it’s the “Betty-version of stylish.” Definitely looks like she picked up some fashion tips from MODE and put them to use in her own quirky way.

However, I *hated* the outfit from the fair scene. The items individually were too trendy for Betty, and put together like that she looked like a crazy five-year-old who had run amok into a designer store. Ewww…

I think the wardrobe makes sense. After 2 years at Mode, you would think at least some fashion sense would rub off. Even subconsciously. But this seems Betty-version of stylish, which is still pretty loud and clashy. I do wonder what’s up with that necklace though…
