[@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

[@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.

[@nerddegreeburns]

Freddie looks spectacular in everything.

[@scrumdiliumpcious9453]

[@geministar6167]

EVERYTHING

[@jen2202]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@MartaVelez0108]

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

[@katshell2059]

That’s how I felt about a couple of those dresses!

[@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 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

[@dear.fern.55]

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

[@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.

[@AlissaMaengo]

The shop owner looks AMAZING. That dress is beautiful 😍

[@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"

[@mikajohnson1958]

She looks great in every dress

[@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

[@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!!

[@gingerninja2487]

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

[@LittleHwangO]

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 😭

[@LittleHwangO]

@@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]

@@LittleHwangO 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😭✋🏽

[@marinasilveirasilveira9371]

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

[@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.

[@sgpoet47]

EVERY SINGLE LOOK IS A BANGER

[@xxarianahiltonxx5116]

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

[@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.

[@natalie_kendel]

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

[@aceowl2757]

Alternate title Freddie being an absolute ICON for13:15 straight

[@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.

[@MissChocolate407]

Everyone needs a friend like Lindsay.

[@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

[@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

[@ilaeoa]

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

[@imanichambers2939]

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

[@535zz]

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

[@Mamaki1987]

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

[@beethany3020]

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

[@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!

[@jilliangerig1035]

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

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@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.

[@sinamais5817]

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

[@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

[@brittanyp9334]

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

[@TheGACKTfan]

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

[@PokhrajRoy.]

We would love that Aretha Franklin look for another event!

[@doxaweit]

lindsay's new hair looks so nice!

[@2ndworldcountryusa583]

By far the best episode ever !!

[@adlihloetz7162]

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

[@laurenschenck5355]

Omg white and black vintage dress my FAVORITE 😍

[@Yannieboo]

She looks amazing in every dress!!!😍😍

[@rachelyy]

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

[@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

[@kellimayor4580]

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

[@meganreynolds1085]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

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

[@_iamhisbutterfly]

Loved this video 🥰🥰 would love to shop there some day !!

[@misspotatopants]

Lindsay's reaction at 5.34 is my reaction when the teacher scolds me for talking while everyone else gets away with it.

[@caseyfinnegan4139]

I'm obsesseddd with their outfits!!!

[@kierraadele]

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

[@theumbrellaofdoom]

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

[@bunnybear9883]

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

[@maccy5]

[@asiangirlhana]

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

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 😩😍

[@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!
