I mean they are at a resort gym, right?

Yes. Exactly.

In this scene they had all just had their body comp done by the trainer.

What you're supposed to notice - I think - is that they are all dressed exactly the same, except that MM and LB have the flashy, flattering, $$$$$ version of the outfit while CC's looks kind of blah and ill fitting. She's supposed to be the awkward ugly duckling of the friend group (which is not a dig on CC who is gorgeous, talented, and an actor I look forward to seeing in everything she's in!). But she's def got something going on that's about to rise to the surface.

Agree. This is laughable. If she thinks basic Nova women are attractive and flashy and wealthy, her little triggered head would explode in LA or Miami.

And don't forget Dubai, Bejing, Hong Kong, and Mumbai.

Also certain pockets of Dallas and Salt Lake City

Serious question, why do some of you see posts like this and feel the need to respond like “How gauche! Why, my old money grandmama would never allow this! I’d much rather be in the country with the dogs!”

No one cares. You don’t get an award because your version of aspirational is different from someone else’s.

Yeah, though fashion norms in those cities tend to be a little more formal-dressed up and also more modest, so you see the "fancy athleisure" look here less often. LA and Miami are peak locations for this particular look.

This. My old money grandmother would be horrified. You shouldn’t show your stomach unless at a gym or a pool. I don’t care if it’s toned, it’s vulgar. (And that’s the word she would use!)

Opinion and language from 1981^^. And it was outdated by a couple of decades then.

Exactly. Also isn’t it not very old money to refer to your family as old money?

Agree - the point is to have a little fun, and these people are so threatened! And like, if you have to say it….

I think the country horse/dog/old money people are being facetious? I hope? Like just playing with the DCUM trope of everyone wanting to look like they've been rich forever and feeling terrified of being caught not having generational wealth.

I don’t think they are. I think they genuinely think it’s somehow better to look one version of snobby than another

Yes, that’s exactly what it is! Threatened by what, I don’t know, but it does give threatened vibes.

Look, a blond woman wearing lululemon to school pickup on her way to yoga class isn’t the same level of tacky as say, Kim kardashian. It just isn’t. You can gripe about it being “new money” all you want, but the average person doesn’t care.

Now that I know the middle one is MM, I clearly see it just her hair is now blondish (I prefer it dark, but she is aging fantastically). Leslie Bibb is unrecognizable to me, and I barely recognize Carrie Coon. Which makes me think at least LB and CC have had some cosmetic work- their looks are not just a result of hours at the gym.

Sorry, you’re wrong. Monaghan has had plenty of work done and Coon very little.

+1 and though Coon is the youngest she looks older than the others as a result. I think I remember reading somewhere that she smokes. All three are very thin, which tends to make dermatological interventions more pressing.

I don’t think she looks the oldest, just the least conventionally attractive. All the work the other two have had done reads older to me. Frankly I know some 20 somethings who look like they’re in their 40s because they’ve already gone down the fillers and Botox road.

Carrie Coon is beautiful - they are styling her to be a little frumpier and less showy. You all get that, right?

Agree. I think she has the prettiest and most natural face of the three.

Maybe.

More likely defensive. Because they don't look remotely like MM, and aren't traveling to resorts in Thailand -- because they beyond basic.
