THE IDOL IS A DEPRAVED FASHION MESS

  • Hbo Max's The Idol has come and gone thankfully, but certainly not without controversy. The show was highly anticipated as it would showcase Lily-Rose Depp as the star Jocelyn, The Weeknd as the cult leader Tedros, and would be directed by Euphoria's Sam Levinson. But when a Rolling Stone article dropped earlier this year alleging chaos and pornographic-level sex scenes, it spelled the end for the show. But seeing as the hype had been there, I thought I would try to watch it through, and I honestly regret it.

    I'm speaking from complete ignorance because I didn't watch the show, but I absolutely hate her wardrove. It's so oversexualized even in situations where it doesn make sense, I bet even Kim Kardashian dresses mostly comfortable in her own house. Given the nature of the show some nudity has to happen and that's fine, but the execution just feels gross, as if the theme was just a superficial excuse to show Lilly half naked as much as possible. I'm sure there are women out there who enjoy dresssing sexy all the time (no judgement) but this is not a real woman, this is a creation made by bunch of men, and she is not the one choosing her clothes, a costume designer who is obliged to follow the vision of these men is, and in that case I am fully judging the choice of constantly sexualizing their main actress in a story that's supposed to criticize objectification of female artists.

She wasn't being pushed around by the industry and instead was taking advantage of it. I wish we could've seen more of this kind of character arc from Jocelyn, considering that I feel as tho her outfits become more thought out and stylistic than nudity for nudity's sake, so it makes no sense stylistically for her to go back to tedros??? anyways we stan Destiny

    I REALLY hate it when people say “I’m not a prude, but this seems like a bit much”, or something along those lines. Not wanting to see a woman in shorts with her ass cheeks hanging out, while a camera is up skirting her, does not make you a prude. Not wanting to see that shouldn’t need defending. And even if it wasn’t “prude-ish” to say that, so what? I’d rather be a prude, what whatever the hell Sam Levinson wants society to be.

Rather, this movie was just an excuse to objectify a few of the gals.

      while I agree with you, you know that legit criticism of such over-sexualisation will get dismissed with comments like "don't be so old-fashioned" or, of course, "don't be such a prude". so I think most pre-emptively say they're not a prude to take fodder away from people and comments who wish to derail the conversation.

    My qualm with the fashion choices for Jocelyn comes down to the source of inspiration- Britney. If Britney inspired the concept for the show, I’m not seeing it. Britney wore nothing but sweats and comfy clothes all the time everywhere she went off duty. What a breath of fresh air it would’ve been if we could’ve seen more of a contrast between Jocelyn’s on stage looks versus her pedestrian clothes when she wasn’t working or just lounging around the house. But do we expect Sam Levinson to consider adding some realism or depth to this character? Of course not….

    • @nevaminddd
      @nevaminddd Год назад +1

      Shes supposed to be the ultimate popstar that would exist today. Britney is a comparison because her costumes were young, revealing at the time and made for dance/being bodycon. So they took inspiration of her impact and intention of dressing. And we dont see Jocelyn "off duty" much. Even when shes at home she wants to stay in character with Tedros clan living there. She still wants to look like a star compared to them whilst feeling/looking free.

    I wish they had done a bit more with Jocelyn's hair. The limp beachy waves in almost every scene were just not doing it for me and I think a bit more variety to the hair would've added a lot more visual interest to these looks. I also feel like her makeup could have been a bit more bold and experimental for someone who is supposed to be a world-famous pop star and maybe it would even have been fun for her to continue to reference early Britney with her makeup.

    • @MariaGonzalez-mt3px

      they don't look like beach waves, i think it's rather a worn out 90's blowout maybe? with the front pieces covering her forehead, i think they're trying to hide it... they used hella hairspray to keep it in place especially when she's in the car, it looks dirty and dry. it could have worked for some scenes but not the entire show. and i agree completely about the makeup. she looks AMAZING in red lips and it would def suit her character. a pop of color and shimmer would have helped considering how blue toned and dark some scenes look but i understand that's the director's style. even her big comeback stage look is... dry.

    As someone who takes part in bdsm nothing makes me more uncomfortable than how commonly the media has started depicting choking as "sexy". It's becoming more common in sex because of it, but it's insanely dangerous. There's no safe way to do it, and even people who've taken classes on it and done it with their partner consensually for years have accidentally killed their partners doing it. Shows like this just depicting it casually and without any sort of warning only lead to more inexperienced people thinking they understand how to do it and that kills people. The "right" way to do it is never to put something around someone's neck like a belt, and covering a partner's face so they can't easily express that there's an issue is super dangerous. There was no negotiation, no safe words established, and even if they had all those things it's still incredibly dangerous. That scene alone is enough for this show to be genuinely dangerous because people will recreate it and that will lead to deaths.
    And for anyone reading this, if your partner has started choking you without consent you are 750% more likely to be murdered by that partner. Without consent that's abuse. The show doesn't properly go over what consenting to this particular act should look like, and having a partner casually do this to you without regards for your safety is a huge red flag. Please, if you have a partner who thinks they can do that safely run far and fast because they can't and their overconfidence puts you at risk.

      Lol although that is funny, it does make sense considering it is a cult. You have a lot of examples of cults (especially here where I live, cults are honestly so normalized) having their members sleep together in huge halls etc., to encourage the "family" vibe-- it's a genuine tactic used to increase conformity and take away people's privacy and ability to escape-- it's a very covert form of brainwashing.

      I think thats why they’re cult members. Tedros calls them “my people “ (no names) and in the last episode Jocelyn says: “they’re my people now”. Both view them as pawns, almost property.
      A big theme seems to be paying attention to people (treating human beigns as such) only when they can be useful to you.
      Stars, staff, cult members, everyone experiences being treated and viewed as tools.

      I've heard that the show was shot at The Weeknd's house to cut the cost of reshooting so many scenes. Because they made the very stupid decision to reshoot the show because it was too "too feminine" there may not have been room to shoot the scene elsewhere. The show is a goddamn dumpster fire anyway.

    I completely support your decision to avoid a second season if it occurs. Regardless of the INTENT of the people involved, the show presents a lot of really manipulative abusive behavior as acceptable. It is glorifying a train wreck. Even if you walk away from a train wreck, it doesn't mean the crash was actually okay. People are still permanently harmed by it. The scars remain. Yeah, the show included some 'Fashion', but the trip wasn't worth it in the end.

    I liked a lot of Jocelyn’s clothes but since I was so tired of the very objectifying shots of her it made them worse for me. Like I want to see a woman wearing skimpy, fun clothes, but when you add in the zooms and lingering shots on her anatomy IN the clothes it emphasizes the male gaze aspect of it and made me uncomfortable. Like when I wear a short skirt I don’t want to imagine an intense zoom in on my ass cheeks, I just want to rock a cute skirt.
    All I can picture when I see her sparkly dress from the last episode is that bizarre shot of her doing pelvic thrust spider moves on the floor in it lol

    That said, Joss's make-up is consitently atrocious. Maybe its intentional but I didnt realize how pretty the actress actually was untill I saw the old runway photos posted in this video.

    One of the main things that made this character so unrelatable and hard to watch was the wardrobe choices. Who is scantily dressed or near naked 90% of the time? I’m pretty sure even pop stars wear a tshirt a few times per week. Sam worked overtime to make sure every single scene her outfit gave sex pot…even when she was home on the couch. Although I loved the outfits that choices alone made it hard to relate to/empathize with the character

      I'm late to the party. My problem is not the nudity, but the sexualization of that. As a dancer (not professionally) I would say some dancers are very comfortable with nudity, in a not sexual way.
      When u train and sweat many hours a day, wearing many clothes is not very hygienic. That's why fishnet tights got invented. And because showing leg while dancing could get you arrested, and cops couldn't tell they weren't actual tights from far away.
      You also have to see the body to know that you and others are doing the moves right.
      Some dances are sexual, some are sexualized, physical closeness is just part of dancing and training.
      So you get used to it in your daily life, but that doesn't mean not owning t-shirt. I wish the show wouldn't sexualize nudity like that

    From what I heard about this series, I was certain that I was not in their target demo. However the clothing did look intriguing so I appreciate a HauteLeMode commentary. Loved most of the outfits, but the "baby" bikini top (at least from the front) looked more gimmick than fashion. Comparing the entertainment industry to a cult is not a new take, but I appreciate the chance for young actors to get a chance to emote.

    I heard the first version of the script was more of an actual commentary/satire, where Tedros was just the predatory villain and there was no twist ending where the leading lady was secretly evil the whole time and the guy who abused and manipulated her was secretly the real victim or whatever. but the first writer got 80% through and then either quit or was replaced, at which point almost the whole script was scrapped and redone by the new writer with input from The Weeknd.
    What we got was certainly trash and not even the funny sort, but it was maybe almost good, we’ll never know.

      I mean have you watched any of blackpinks recent performances? They toe the aesthetic line of burlesque for much of it- I really don’t think the style of this show was such a big jump.
      What REALLY got me was hearing Jennie say “was she a better fuck then me?” Idk why even…. It was shocking to hear her SAY it even though it’s honestly so similar to her lyrics like this is “both my body and my bank account good figure” Jennie
      Like…. It’s crazy how blackpink sexy sizes themselves in their lyrics all the damn time but as long as the members never actually **talk** about sex or sexuality we can somehow ignore it? Idk somehow that’s the kpop boundary for innocence or whatever

Creepyness. Keep being sharp-minded, sharp- witted, & sharp-eyed for those sharp-dressers, Thanx Luke, from old u.k fan-girl Ali !

    7:21 is the only dress i actualy liked in the entire series... the pearl crisscross and the color looks exquisite under the sunlight. However the black sunnies ruin it tho. It is also the modest garment in the entire series, which is shocking to say the least. For some reason, it kinda reminds me of the part in Cinderella when the little mice and birdies are gathering pearls and bits pink of fabric to make a dress. Its like the 2023 yassified version of that scene
