the crown gave the revenge dress barely 30 seconds while diana the musical dedicated an entire song to it so really which is the better piece of media

[not-great-not-terrible]

If I had a nickel for every time Amy Roberts had to painstakingly recreate a Princess Diana iconic and pivotal dress only for it to get less than 5 seconds of screen time, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

"Natalie Portman had numerous costume changes in Revenge of the Sith, but she loves what they called the deep blue 'end dress,' which she wore in her coffin in the funeral scene.

'I think Trisha [Biggar] wanted an ocean sense. Someone said to me it was very ‘Ophelia.’ With the flowers and the hair, it does look like I’m drowning'."

a 2005 article by Patt Diroll about the Star Wars prequels' costume exhibition at the fashion institute of Design and Merchandising museum in Los Angeles for the release of the book Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars.

Random Observations of Stede seducing Ed on accident in "The Best Revenge is Dressing Well" -

Stede's quiet little "OK" when Ed says the French captain didn't get under his skin. He knows the truth, but he's also going to accept what Ed says and not push it.

Ed really getting into talking about Stede "fingering my dents."

That moment of isolation they both have - Stede as he gets pushed to the edges of the party, and Ed when he's alone at the table.

Stede being bullied for half the episode and not standing up for himself, but the second they start being mean to Ed, he's like, "So they've chosen death."

Ed fleeing the party to find the man who represents everything that he wants and yet could hurt him sitting there with Frenchie and Olu, talking about how spoons are stupid.

Stede just full-on coming into his own because these bastards were mean to his crush.

The bitchy little "...clever" Stede throws at Gabriel right before he eviscerates them.

Ed's look of shock/horniness when he discovers that Stede has caused a cannibalistic riot.

Stede's fucking homicidal grin.

Ed concealing the red silk from Stede at the beginning, but not at the end.

The moment Stede very gently takes the silk from Ed. How Ed's a little nervous about relinquishing it, that it might be used against him somehow, but he still lets it go. And then..."You wear fine things well."

That last, longing look.

It's a damn sexy episode.

Ed and Frenchie connecting right away always makes me smile.

Their connection in 1x5 feels instinctual. We see Frenchie carefree, walking into the captain's quarters with a flourish in his new outfit. He's comfortable with them, and when Ed and Stede decide to go to the party, Ed right away asks Frenchie to come along if he doesn't have any plans.

Then when Ed walks out of the party upset Stede is not the only one to respond to that. Frenchie's body language immediately changes from relaxed and having fun to standing straight up, concern on his face followed immediately by a crack at the societal people.

We don't see it directly on screen but Frenchie and Olu used their earlier agreement with Abshir over the pyramid scheme to get Stede the information for the passive aggression moment.

We don't know much about Frenchie's past, only that he worked in "service," can play the lute, and is an absolute gem at pulling off ploys.

I have written about how Frenchie and Ed have similar coping mechanisms with their trauma, and while not on the surface or talked about, it adds to their connection.

(This connection also explains why Ed keeps Frenchie aboard at the end of the first season and why he chooses Frenchie to be first mate.)

Now I feel like I'm rambling but my point is, we learn so much about Frenchie's character in this episode and the relation between Ed and Frenchie is instant and sweet. I love the effortlessness behind connections between people in this show.

The Best Revenge is Dressing Well is a great episode and these small moments, this link makes it all the more deeper.
