I couldn't agree more. Nicola's dresses were elegant and beautiful, but the rest were trying to be "modern", but just fell flat. The gloves were the worst especially Nicola's fingerless sheer "gloves" if you can even call them that. Along with the nails, the overpowering at times make-up and the red lipstick they had Nicola wear for the reveal speech were horrible. I love Colin and Penelope and their story so it still manages to be my favorite season although they could have done so much more with their story, I did enjoy the parts they did do. I so hope they return to more elegance and less "modernization" next season. I also don't expect accuracy to the time period, but we at least need the feel of the period
