I'm pleased to report that every single one of the eight outfits featured last week got at least one vote -- truly a credit to Jang Man Wol's wardrobe -- but the clear winner in the polls was this regency flight attendant/stealth Miles Edgeworth cosplay:

This week brings perhaps even more variety, with an excitingly wide range of color pop!

1.

Okay, this first look, I'll admit ... myself, I don't love it.

It just reads to me a little too much like an homage to pioneer women cut down in their prime by smallpox ... but I've admired similar flowy silhouettes and floral patterns on her before, so your mind may very well vary!

2.

OH HERE WE GO. Here we are very much going.

Look, is the blouse a lot? Yes. Is it truly incredible how she matched her black lace gloves exactly to the black lace underblouse? ALSO YES.

When you get the full view she looks like a little bit like a dilophosaurus ready to strike and I would say I'm into it.

3.

On first glance, this black widow outfit doesn't have a ton to necessarily distinguish it from the many other black widow outfits she has worn with such panache...

...but I actually think the details are worth appreciating here. The big white buttons are a cool contrast, she's got a totally different set of black lace gloves than she wore for the last look, and the silhouette as a whole kind of creates a mod sixties black widow vibe that's fresh and unique!

4.

We literally only get this one shot of this dress, which is really a pity because I'm getting hints of a vague Ren Faire look and I'd love to see more.

5.

I like this flowy pastel number better than the first one she wore this episode, but there's not really a ton going on with it. It makes sense; yellow is a new color for her and she probably wants to experiment a little before really committing.

On the one hand, I was a little disappointed that she didn't put in more effort to welcome a king. On the other hand, this means that she literally put in three times the effort to put on an appropriate outfit to eat octopus in (outfit 2) than an appropriate outfit to welcome a king and that is ... very funny.

6.

Also three times the effort to match a pizza delivery truck, for that matter! I'm truly impressed, she is going all-out to color coordinate her cunning disguise here.

Gloves, fan, giant brooch? She looks like she walked right off the set of Dynasty. And ... not at all like she is ready to serve pizza but she matches the truck and that's what counts.

7.

And now for something completely different: not just a Joseon look but a royal Joseon look, complete with MAXIMUM HAIR.

The back view is as elaborate as the front view. Look at that gilding! Truly, all hail the queen.

8.

Okay, back to casual. I like it, the dagged collar is dope, I just ... am not sure I understand it?

LOOK, JUST, WHAT IS THE PATTERN ON THIS FABRIC. It looks like ... maybe birds? Or woodland creatures of some kind? Anyone who thinks they can identify this, please feel free to try and make your case.
