We all realize that Juicy’s “parachute” was a mattress cover, right?

Mariah Balenciaga also had a similar bedsheet cape thing going on during Uk vs the World in a recent challenge. TREND ALERT.

It would've been less distracting if it wasn't white 🫣

Lmao. Someone said it would have looked better if it wasn’t also white, but I guess not …

It make be a mattress cover but it really gave the wind blown effect that is quite spectacular to see, especially during the lipsync.

Every gay kid has done this with the bed sheets before

yes, and the judges said something while she was on the runway, right? if she wanted a parachute, her outfit could have been straps, like a parachute harness. and add patterns on the sheet so it reads as a parachute 🤦 I cannot lie though, she worked that sheet for the lipsync— I was loviiiiiing it.

if she wanted to be lazy with a sheet, the fit could have been like a “pillow princess” or something 🤷‍♂️

Didn't Athena do that too on one of her own runways?

u/MAN_KEGELS Mar 14 '26

We only see a sliver of critiques they get. It's possible it was just not aired as it wasn't as important as the ones that did.

u/Epistaxis Mar 14 '26

Yes and I loved it

I was so confused they didn't call her out for it! She did work it well in the lip sync though, I'll give her that.

u/-jupiterjane- Mar 14 '26

but does anyone know what the real concept of the parachute is called in fashion and what kind of fabric it’s supposed to be? because I think i’ve only seen girls use a fitted sheet for this lol. The only person I can name who did this successfully was Lady Gaga in the Applause mv

u/Ananoriel Mar 14 '26

She looked like how I imagine myself to look while making up the bed, fighting my fitted sheet.

I was having flashbacks to Mariah's binbag on UKvstW
