At the premiere of “The Bachelor” on Monday night, two contestants showed up to meet Matt James in season 25, wearing exactly the same red dress – but it probably wasn’t a coincidence.
Demi Burnett, who debuted in Colton Underwood’s season of “The Bachelor” in 2019, recently opened up about how the show’s producers convince competitors in accidental moments of twinning.
“In my season, Heather [Martin] and this girl Laura, they had the same dress on her “, the 25-year-old explained on the podcast” Here for the Right Reasons “from Us Weekly.
“The manufacturers tell you which of the dresses I think you should wear, so they probably wanted to arouse something.”
However, this scheme can be countered. “Heather and girl Laura looked at each other and they’re like, ‘God, we’re wearing the same dress, it’s wonderful! They say, “You look great,” Burnett continued.
“So it wasn’t a big deal and I feel like it happened again.”
During Monday’s premiere, Alana Milne and Anna Redman both began their search for love by wearing Nookie’s “Viva” dress ($ 269), which features a body-con fit, convertible straps and a subtle mermaid silhouette.
Burnett described the packaging for her season of “The Bachelor” as “a nightmare.”
“Well, I used to be poor, I didn’t have money,” she said. “So I spent my last salary and just bought a bunch of dresses for sale at Dillard’s. There I took all my rose ceremony dresses, cocktail dresses and swimsuits and such. “
Burnett’s parents attended a special event.
“For my one-night stand, I would talk to my parents and say, ‘I need a good dress for this.’ It’s like a huge moment. They said, “OK, we’ll buy you a nightgown,” she recalls.
“My parents bought me a dress. I guarantee that the girls’ parents bought all their dresses. “
