Excitement Season 3 is finally here. Returning April 12, the latest season (and final rumor) is set five years in the future, where our favorite heroes have traded school hallways for lives far more high-stakes. Maddie and Lexi have left the dusty streets of Southern California behind in search of the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. Are Nate and Cassie somehow married? (I know, I was shocked too). It seems he is struggling with some new discovery Matthew Blazey-era Bottega Veneta addict, while Cassie is making a name for herself as an OnlyFans creator. If that doesn’t seem chaotic enough, Trisha Paytas is somehow in the mix.

If you can’t tell, I’m a huge fan; Tuning in for dark and messy stories that walk the line between extremely relatable and completely outrageous has become one of my favorite pastimes. Over the years, plenty of moments have become TikTok-trending sounds, leaving us wondering, in the words of Maddie, “Is this drama about us?” But for me, as a fashion editor, outfits have always attracted my attention the most.

I’ve always liked her looks Excitement How many aesthetics co-exist within a friendship group (much like reality), however, unlike us and most of our friends, they tend to have a luxury, designer-led twist. Take Alexia Demi’s Maddy Perez; She is your textbook fashion girl. Successfully donning everything from Balenciaga to Amina Muaddi, she’s always been an It girl, serving up our favorite looks. Then we have the preppy polish of Maude Apatow’s Lexi Howard; Naturally, Miu Miu is her best friend. Even Zendaya’s Rue has worn ( vintage ) designer apparel, including a Jean Paul Gaultier vest and vintage Roberto Cavalli pants.
