Baby G’s gold Versace outfit will have you googling for cool sweatsuits to invest in—right after you’re done lusting over Christine’s equally gold Floral-Print Satin Jacquard suit from Dolce & Gabbana, of course. 

If you want to dress your little one up in the same glamorous outfit, consider Versace’s Barocco mosaic kids printed blazer or the mixed print sweatshirt.

2. Poolside Ready

While everyone on the show loves fashion, Jaime Xie is an international fashion icon who has previously been featured on the cover of Bazaar Vietnam and more. 

This Liv tiered ruffle cotton cover-up dress from Love Shack Fancy may not be as pricey as the other outfits we’ve seen on the show, but seeing how Kevin threw her into the pool just moments after, we’ll have to say Jaime made the right call. She completed her outfit with a miniature Mon Tresor bucket bag from Fendi, and classic love bracelets from Cartier.

To look beach-perfect like Jaime, wear Haight's Mah stretch-crepe underwired bikini underneath and slip on a cover-up dress. Try Miguelina Sara's crochet-trimmed linen mini dress or Love Shack Fancy's Belen mini dress.

3. Suit Up

Kane sports a black and white floral blazer from Dior Homme—previously seen on celebrities such as Darren Criss at the Golden Globe Awards in 2019, this jacket will surely turn heads as you walk down the street.

For a louder, bolder alternative to this jacket, try Gucci’s Ken Scott print velvet jacket, or if you’re trying to keep it clean, try Dior’s off-white jacket with bee jewel detailing

4. Dior is Art

As part of Anna’s generous Dior shopping haul for Kevin, the model his pair of Dior B23 High Top Sneakers in hite and Black Dior Oblique Canvas with the pictured Dior Men x Raymond Pettibon’s Reimagined Mona Lisa silk shirt from Dior Men’s Fall/ Winter 2019 collection to Kane's Singapore-themed party. 

Although it might be harder to find the same shirt and sneakers right now, Dior always collaborates with artists to introduce new fashion pieces. We have our eyes on Dior and Shawn's silk shirt, and Dior and Shawn's B23 high-top sneaker.

5. Strings of Pearls

Layering pearls on top of pearls, Christine’s Balmain pearl necklace-embellished velvet dress is one that exudes elegance and extravagance. She styles the dress with extra pearls with her dangling pearl earrings. 

Recreate her look with Balmain's embellished velvet minidress and don't forget to accessorise with Sophie Billie Brahe's Ocean Perle 14-karat gold pearl earring.

 

6. Metallic Gold

As one of the biggest DJs in the world, you can usually find Kim Lee flaunting her figure in cheetah-printed dresses, as well as alluring evening gowns such as the pictured Retrofête Wayne Metallic Dress.

Glam up your wardrobe with ML Monique Lhuillier's metallic flutter-sleeve gown if you want to match Kim's energy, or opt for Mestiza New York's Cosette smocked midi dress if you're looking for something a little less extravagant.
