Crying and confrontation is not a good combination, and tonight's melodramatic House of DVF episode featured a plethora of both!
Between Diane von Furstenberg and the brand ambassador candidates, it's an understatement to say emotions were running wild! Hanna Beth dealt with a messy breakup, Diane's high expectations were not met, Cat stirred up some drama within the group and Leigh broke down in tears multiple times. Poor girl!
Recap the episode with the 10 most unforgettable moments we can't stop replaying in our heads!
1. When Hanna Beth's breakup hit the Internet: Breakups are already tough, but they only get tougher when the media is talking about it. Hanna Beth's split from her fiancé, actor Chris Zylka, and their nasty Twitter feud was all over the news websites and her fellow brand ambassador candidates couldn't help but weigh in. "She's way better off," Chantal said. "He's not even that cute." Furthermore, her very public breakup eventually grabbed the attention of Style Editor Jessica Joffe and Diane herself!
2. When Leigh started crying over Hanna Beth's breakup: Leigh is obviously an extremely devoted friend, but it was so awkward when she got emotional over Hanna Beth's personal situation. "She was in love with that guy. She wanted to marry him," Leigh told the other girls as she fought back the tears. "Think about being engaged to someone that would write a bunch of s--t about you on the Internet." But the other candidates weren't sympathetic to Leigh's extreme empathy. "It's like Hanna starts crying and Leigh starts crying and I'm like, ‘Why are you crying?'" Alli wonders. "It was just the weirdest thing!" That was our thought exactly.
3. When Diane hated the décor in her new NYC store: Creative Brand Director Stefani Greenfield was really proud of the work she had put in to decorate the newest DVF store, and she couldn't wait to show the boss. But her bubble burst when Diane arrived and loathed the aesthetics. Oh no. "I don't know what to look at!" Diane exclaimed. "It's a complete mess!" Well, back to the drawing board.
4. When Jessica visited Alli's disastrous hotel room: Jessica loved Alli from the Valley since the initial interviews, so she offered to help her improve her style, which was severely lacking. "I want to see her personal closet and perhaps nudge her in the right direction," Jessica said. But when she arrived at Alli's hotel room, she received a chaotic welcome with clothes, makeup and shoes scattered everywhere. "Hello!" she said sarcastically. "I see you were expecting me."
5. When she subsequently gave her a necessary fashion makeover: After Jessica overcame the initial shock of Alli's disorganized room, she gave her some fashion tips and helped her clean out her eclectic closet. "This I really like," Alli said of one of her black dresses. "It kind of reminds me of a piece from the fall collection." Jessica replied, "That has a huge keyhole for your boobs to hang out. How many times are you going to go clubbing with DVF?" Harsh!
6. When Cat tells Leigh to stop obsessing over Hanna Beth: Cat was starting to become annoyed with how attached Leigh was to Hanna Beth, so she decided to let her know. "You're like uplifting Hanna Beth to the point where it's becoming like this pedestal thing and you're allowing her to succeed above yourself," Cat told her. As expected, Leigh was not pleased. "Hanna and I have bonded in a really nice way, but saying I'm obsessed with Hanna is f--king bulls--t," she responded. "Maybe she's obsessed with me. Like, we like each other." Then, she started to cry…again.
7. When Hanna Beth confronts Cat: Hanna Beth wasn't happy when she heard about the way Cat approached Leigh, and she brought it up with the entire group. "Why is it a problem that like we are getting closer or if she did maybe like me a little more than anyone else?" she asked. Once again, Leigh started crying as she got worked up about Cat's blunt criticism. Luckily, Hanna Back came to her defense. "Some of us aren't going to like each other and we just f--king have to be okay with that. And let's just move forward and focus on our work and ourselves." Preach!
8. When Diane disliked Chantal's dress design: In a previous episode, the candidates were each tasked with designing an original dress using DVF's classic fabric, and it was finally time for the prototypes to be presented to Diane! But when it was Chantal's turn, she didn't receive positive feedback like the other ladies. In fact, Diane was less than impressed by the gold chain she attached to the back. "I'm like the jewelry girl, so that's why," Chantal explained. And Diane's face above basically sums up her verdict.
9. When Leigh didn't know geography: For this week's challenge, the girls had to pick locations around New York City that represented a specific global city to model one of DVF's looks. Leigh was assigned São Paulo, Brazil, and she was eager to show Diane her best pose—which she Photoshopped onto the beach. There was just one minor problem: There is no beach in São Paulo! "You Googled it, you got half way there," Cat said. "Google Maps, next time." LOL! Leigh couldn't hold back the tears in front of Diane following her silly mistake.
10. When Diane sent Chantal home: Vogue jewelry assistant Chantal seemed like a frontrunner in the competition, so it was unexpected when Diane sent her packing. But the reason why was even more surprising. "The excuse I could find today to say goodbye to you was because of the chain," Diane explained. This just proves that even the smallest details make a huge difference when it comes to fashion. Chantal said ta-ta and Leigh survived the elimination to cry another day!
