[@nerddegreeburns]

Freddie looks spectacular in everything.

[@scrumdiliumpcious9453]

Fr

[@geministar6167]

EVERYTHING

[@jen2202]

Her skin tone & smile makes her look stunning in any color or style 😍

[@aliciasummers5048]

Freddie looked stunning and timeless! That green popped against her skin and that hairstyle was everything

[@ima.m.1658]

Yes! Green and brown go so well together, like nature-y vibes

[@helloharlow]

Wow this was like a better version of Say Yes to the Dress because all the options were so unique and unexpected. Make this into a series!

[@MiZzBee1]

Why does literally EVERY DRESS look good on her!??!

[@MeredithHagan]

Because Freddie is a natural knock-out!

[@MartaVelez0108]

That navy custom dress, OMG!!! I’d buy it just to have it!!!

[@jj-if6it]

How is it possible that someone looks good in everything. They all look like they were made for you! Honestly Freddie you've never looked better.

[@Strawberrystormi]

Every time she dropped it I was terrified the dress was going to rip

[@solointheburbs]

Fa sho!!

[@rubyrayrenteriasanteria8650]

I hated that

[@sarahprince2412]

@@rubyrayrenteriasanteria8650 I agree. I thought that was actually very tacky of Fred to do that. Show some respect for these types of dresses. I'm no prude by any means. Wear some skimpy little dress to drop it low but doing that in vintage type clothing is so wrong to me.

[@JammyG360]

Today’s designer aren’t trying hard enough!! None of these dresses were revealing but still so sexy!! 😍😍😍 Freddie with the BODY, also this bob cut is the best hair choice you’ve made.

[@mrsflynn730]

I need Lindsay and the shop owner at every dress try-on with me ASAP!! They were THE best hype girls I've ever seen!!! Yaaasss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

[@mayronque3282]

All hits no misses!! It genuinely felt like these were all custom made for her bc they just fit so well!!! Def adding this store to my list for when i ever go back to L.A.

[@dear.fern.55]

That navy blue one took my breath AWAY. Holy basil. So gorgeous.

[@AlissaMaengo]

The shop owner looks AMAZING. That dress is beautiful 😍

[@lenaesn7698]

So happy to see a video including vintage and not buying fast fashion for once !! Freddie looks amazing in everything, my personal favourite was the icy lilac one

[@abigailvance413]

Right - actual vintage, not "vintage-look". Love it!!

[@LuluBelle220]

Every SINGLE dress looked spectacular on Freddie!

[@emilydenny5276]

How could you ever choose??? They're all STUNNING, my goodness. Everything fit so well, was so flattering, so timeless. Gorgeous. Knew Freddie would kill it in anything she chose but the final look was still exceptional 😍What a way to ring in the holiday season after the prior year+ of pandemic gloom. 1000/10, and Lindsey is the best shopping hype girl

[@marinasilveirasilveira9371]

None of the dresses disappointed!!! They are ALL so gorgeous and stylish!!!

[@mikajohnson1958]

She looks great in every dress

[@gingerninja2487]

Freddie looks great in them all but I honestly almost teared up when she came out in the custom navy blue one 🔥❤

[@tahrahetzer9816]

I'm so happy with what Freddie picked. It was my personal favorite. The length was perfect and it fit her like a vintage glove.

[@sgpoet47]

EVERY SINGLE LOOK IS A BANGER

[@erinsuzanne8277]

My 2 year old daughter watched this with me and when Freddie tried on the green dress she said "she's a princess. Look at her smile." I asked "do you think she's happy?" She said "she's really happy"

[@xxarianahiltonxx5116]

Freddie killed all these looks. She's so gorgeous! 🔥 😍

[@natalie_kendel]

The vibe of this video was immaculate. So positive, and Lindsay just supporting another woman with so much love.... YES!

[@MissChocolate407]

Everyone needs a friend like Lindsay.

[@BubblemouseM]

Honestly shocked by the prices of these dresses!! For what they are, the period they’re from and the fact most of the designers were extremely prominent in that period, these dresses, despite being second hand, are SO CHEAP! Take me to LA so I can get me some of these sparkly babies 😭♥️

[@Alena-cz7hj]

I kinda understand what you mean, but also -- how is this cheap 😭

[@BubblemouseM]

@@Alena-cz7hj just in MY opinion I would reckon, looking at those dresses and knowing who’re they’re made by and the fact they’re genuine vintage, they’d maybe be around the $3-4k mark y’know?

[@Alena-cz7hj]

@@BubblemouseM yeah, that's why i said I understand your point

[@liastorm795]

@@Alena-cz7hj For vintage pieces like those someone else would charge you upward of thousands of dollars💰💰💰

[@niarahancock4739]

I must be Mr.Krabs cause that’s expensive to me😭✋🏽

[@reinamelanizadavibe8890]

The green dress was a great choice for the event!! I loved the blk/green tassel dress as well as the pink and white sequence style dress.

[@maisondecouture]

Everytime she did a drop, my heart almost stopped, like.... no she's going to rip it 😬 BEAUTIFUL dresses and so cheap for what they are.

[@ilaeoa]

The teal-green (short) one is spectacular. And reflects Freddie's vibrant dynamic personality.

[@aceowl2757]

Alternate title Freddie being an absolute ICON for13:15 straight

[@jilliangerig1035]

She looked stunning in everything! Like just when I thought the dresses couldn't get better, they kept getting better!!

[@suzylu333]

all the dresses looked so amazing but I think the one she chose was slightly at the bottom for me. I loved the shorter dresses, and the red grapes one!! I also agree that the purple one might ahve been it, or the sparkle icicle one since those are so much more unique!

[@beethany3020]

Okay but Lauren. The HAIR the DRESS the MAKEUP. Love it.

[@kaiceeholloway8830]

All the dresses looked amazing. Fred's final was definitely a great one!!!!

[@elizaknight6980]

Those dresses are so pretty. I love the pheonix and the white dress.

[@amirakhoury5507]

These dresses were all sooo pretty, but I would’ve LOVED for you to choose the sleeveless high neck red one, it was SUCH a look

[@MT-zm1yb]

That or the strapless bob maki were what I thought she was going to go with. I would have had to draw one of them out of a hat if it were me, they were all too fire lol

[@sinamais5817]

Both of them look absolutely stunning in the end😍😍 they rocked their looks💃🏽

[@brittanyp9334]

My top 2 faves were the long, red, grape gown and the black and white, bow, velvet, fit and flare dress. LOVE!

[@Mamaki1987]

Freddy looks so stunning in all those clothes. I can see, why the green one was her choice.

[@MT-zm1yb]

My jaw was agape this entire video. Freddie these silhouettes were truly made for your figure. Still watching the video so not sure what one you pick but that must have been the most difficult decision. The sequin long gown..the red dragon one...the emerald flapper, the navy blue and that strapless red sequin number!! I can't. Seeing you in these dresses truly revived me

[@phma192]

Freddie was hawt in EVERY dress😍. She would have slayed in any of them but the green was amazing. Plus Lindsey is the best❤. Great video. Hope you both had a great night.

[@doxaweit]

lindsay's new hair looks so nice!

[@535zz]

That navy blue one though...to die for and I want it

[@ilhamimanidris1027]

Freddie's reaction when she heard Aretha Franklin used to wear a same version of the first dress is priceless. She didn't see that one coming. XD

[@imanichambers2939]

The pink dragon dress was so phenomenal I wanted to vomit Lmfaoo like of excitement wow

[@adlihloetz7162]

So far, imo, the BEST video buzzfeed has produced up to date. But maybe that's just the fashionista in me.

[@Jess_nabs03]

I think I liked all of them except the first red one lol but Freddie looked good in all of them, it was surprising how well they fit her

[@imaniedwards5477]

love Lindsay's new look!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Omg white and black vintage dress my FAVORITE 😍

[@Yannieboo]

She looks amazing in every dress!!!😍😍

[@aysiahusby8594]

Those dresses looked Beautiful! Are you kidding me?! I I think the holy shirt moment was the second red dress that you tried, Perfect!

[@kabean09]

How does Freddie look so amazing in EVERY dress?!?!?!? Stunner!

[@2ndworldcountryusa583]

By far the best episode ever !!

[@ambercotton3260]

What an absolutely stunning gorgeous natural beauty Freddie is! Her beauty radiates from within and it shows. The vintage dresses compliment her beauty so nicely. Love them all but, the green is just perfect on her imo.

[@xoShannonNicolexo]

Freddie “I’m never this indecisive” Also Freddie “i chose the green dress the day before even after saying I was going for the red” Gemini energy

[@madisonpruitt714]

Lol 😂

[@PokhrajRoy.]

We would love that Aretha Franklin look for another event!

[@rachelyy]

Freddie, you look insanely good in just about everything - and this video proves it!

[@Pelemorra]

Lindsay is the exact reason we bring our girlfriends and not our SO with us when shopping (unless your SO is just like Lindsay). Her reacts are perfect

[@mannypedib]

She was stunned each time.

[@Pelemorra]

@@mannypedib And that's how it should be. Positive vibes only

[@asiangirlhana]

omg freddie needs to be funded to get all of those dresses because she is KILLING it

[@kierraadele]

Freddie can pull off anything!! Seriously such a stunning dress!

[@whoopsydaisy6389]

Freddie was made to wear vintage. Perfection!

[@TheGACKTfan]

This is throwing me back when ladylike went to NOLA to do vintage photo shoot

[@pattyblom]

Freddie looked amazing in everything!!!! I would say the green one with the long beading for the holiday party. And i personally would love the white 50's dress with the bow.

[@itsmealyaa2600]

ITS LITERALLY SO UNFAIR THAT SHE LOOKS AMAZING IN EVERYTHING

[@mu3019]

Freddie is that girl

[@angel12319823]

All the dresses looks good on Freddie. So happy she decided to go with the green dress as that was my favorite.

[@marivari4367]

Everyone needs a friend like lindsey🙌

[@Lexxulv]

I love Freddie’s bob and outfit in the beginning😍 she’s just been slaying and glowing lately

[@AlwaysOnGo77]

Freddie is glowing 😍🥺

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Oh, the Bob Mackey had me until the Gene Shelly. Then I went for the gorgeous bargain. Gene Shelly all the way. Unless I win the lotto, then the Bob Mackey. All written before the reveal. The emerald dress! With the hair style and the accessories, a huge YES!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Omg another video where you dress up for The Magic Castle. I remember the last time this happened lol

[@emmanuelleschultze6095]

Freddie looks incredible in every dress!

You can tell the quality and fit is so well done! Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@geministar6167]

All these dresses look stunning especially on Fred

[@aleshaburton8075]

Freddy can wear anything and she can get away with it! It looks like these clothes are made just for her

[@I_am_Lauren]

Freddy looks stunning in everything! I wish I found some clothes that gave me half that confidence!

[@MnMnBahr.]

Everything fits her perfect how!!!!

[@HoneyThatsssYummy]

They were all so pretty

[@OlgaWB]

How do they all fit Freddie so perfectly!!!

[@kellimayor4580]

I loved all the glitter ones but they were all gorgeous!

[@theumbrellaofdoom]

My favs were the long red and the short green one but wow she went off with the one she chose 🥰😍

[@karengerber8390]

Freddie... I hope that more than 1 of those dresses become yours.

[@summersamychick]

I think Freddie just has the perfect face for vintage outfits like everything vintage looks good on her 😍

[@solointheburbs]

Liked immediately because of freddie...now I can watch

[@maccy5]

LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

She looks amazing! These gowns are incredible

[@laurenschenck5355]

Freddie you are SOO BEAUTIFUL IN everything!!

[@ericanicole1859]

Freddie looked good in everything but also Lindsey‘s Blazer dress with the white boots and the red lip was also a moment.

[@Justsay_Jackie]

Those dresses were stunning. I wish I owned that hot pink one!

[@angelinapiedra5349]

I am in love with the green dress and navy dress 🥰🥰🥰

[@meganreynolds1085]

So many good options!!!!! That Phoenix dress was my fav!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@BeyondtheBird]

I was born in the wrong decade for sure! Everything looked beautiful on you!

[@Mercedesalonso]

How on earth does she look so good in EVERY SINGLE DRESS??!!!!?????

[@made0041]

My favorites were the burgundy and the navy one, but I absolutely LOVED the one she picked as well. She's so beautiful in everything, I'm literally crying. And I do mean literally 😩😍

[@torie6071]

the green was my favourite!

[@aliciasummers5048]
