Jimmy is dressing up a bit more. First he’s in this grey v-neck sweater with crisp keans and white shoes. Then he’s in a beige long-sleeve polo of horizontal stripes.

Hazel time! She’s, well, part of the group, but doesn’t have many lines or much screentime like usual. She returns to school in this cropped pink cardi – I definitely had one like this – layered over a white tank, flare jeans, and pointy-toe heels. Next she’s at The Dot in a cowl neck tank of green and pink paisley.

Ms. Hot Sauce is still our principal, and she’s very stern. All business. Her hair is big, she wears some silver jewelry, and pink under her blazer. Also a little bit of pink eyeshadow, because who says you can’t be glamorous when you’re the principal?

Okay, I’ll say it. Season 5 Emma is HOT. And yeah, this episode is partly about beauty standards, and she is made to fit into that ideal 2000s look, so I hate to praise the toxic beauty standards so much. But I don’t know, something about S5 Emma, man. She’s glowing. And speaking of glowing, next season they put some weird glow filter on the girls, so this is our last natural era. Anyway, first is a rare swimsuit moment with Emma and Manny. Emma’s suit is adorable, with yellow and pink polka dots. She also wears some oversized rainbow shades. At school, Emma continues to sport the skin-tight Lululemon, and has almost a grungy makeup look of brown smudged liner and a darker lip. At the Hot Girls Party, which looks a lot like Jimmy’s house, her hair is perfectly curled and she wears layered camis as we did back then. She also has on this miniskirt that’s kinda like khaki but with a floral print on it. But seriously, the 2000s were skimpy as hell. And in the most formulaic way. To where, if, you ain’t got it, you can’t fake it. I feel like nowadays we have options and can play up the parts of us we’re proud of.

I have so may mixed feelings about Season 5 Ellie. This is a turning point for her. And we see it in more ways that one. Since this is a fashion blog, I do need to state the obvious: her style is toning down. Yeah, sure, her wardrobe is still “edgy” or whatever in that it’s black, but it’s becoming much less experimental and much less out-there. It’s pretty much subdued. I mean, check out her hair. Yes, it’s cute, but we’ve strayed very far from the extensions, crimper, multiple ponytails, and fake bangs. Her personality is also changing. First of all, she is simping for Craig hardcore. And while part of me HATES that, another part of me really hurts for her. I mean, look how cute and hopeful she is in this last photo. But it’s just never gonna happen, Ellie. I don’t know, maybe it should have. Maybe it would have been good for both of them. Anyway, her personality is also about to disintegrate terribly. She becomes Craig obsessed, and 100% boring from this point forward. I think perhaps the show struggles to write dynamic “alt” characters. They don’t know how to make these people “alt” besides how they dress.
But anyway, let’s break down the styles of today’s episodes. Ellie has discovered the wand curler, and has taken a liking to layering. Layering jackets, shirts, and even belt and skirts over jeans. It’s a lot. She also still wears her Emily the Strange bag, gotta love the continuity with the Degrassi girls and their bags. Her color palette is greys and blues mostly. Little details include hardware like the O-ring choker the studded belt, painted nails, and a Celtic knot ring.

Craig returns for Season 5, and his hair is no longer overgrown nor shaggy. It’s just, a dude’s short haircut. But, he continues to wear vague and indiscernible graphic tees, with a leather jacket. He’s also seen here making lewd hand signals at Ellie in class.

Ah yes, this is Bernice Fein. A talent agent who Manny is lucky enough to get some time with. Listen, I don’t think Bernice was that terrible. She gave Manny some time, gave her some things to think about. She was harsh but decent, UNTIL, that is, she comments on Manny being lumpy and eating rice and beans or some crap. That was a bit extreme. But anyway, Bernice wears tiny glasses, an ornamental necklace, and a moto jacket. She’s got some side bangs and a nice layered haircut. I feel like she was the mom on some other Canadian show. Oh, I just looked her up – she’s been in Cadet Kelly and Naturally Sadie. And a whole bunch of other stuff.

As you may recall from the end of Season 4, Ashley went off to London and told Craig, “don’t follow me. love ya tho!” Well, HERE she is, emailing Ellie a picture of her with her new mans. Look at her. Clutching him, gazing into the camera all seductively. Shamless! She’s still got a boyfriend back home officially! Anyway, she’s growing her hair out FINALLY and wears a jean jacket. Have fun with Ali….

Wow, I can’t believe we’ve arrived at Season 5! It starts off, in my opinion, pretty dark. Though it’s a bit over-the-top and cheesily depicted in this episode, the beauty standards and pressures of the 2000s were incredibly toxic. Anyway, so we do start off my Venus coverage with the plastic surgeon, Dr. Andras, wearing blue on blue. But just stay tuned for the more interesting content from this episode.

Oof, sorry – this isn’t a very exciting post to end on, but here’s Toby “graduating” in the movie. For some reason he didn’t wear his glasses.
