That’s correct. Addison Rae was seen in Ed Hardy. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve spotted one of her cohorts in this cursed brand, but this go-around feels different. Rae’s ensemble reads like a marketing ploy filtered through a stylist who’s only ever seen pictures of 2002. Fun fact: Rae came into this world on October 6, 2000.
The entire lineup at the party seemed desperate to emulate an extremely specific early-aughts vibe. Carter himself was dressed like Cam’ron in his iconic baby pink muffler and jacket. Nikita Dragun wore lowrise jeans to accentuate the whale tail, white Stassie Baby debuted a polyester recreation of the Xtina era. Olivia Jade was even dressed like her mom during the Full House years. Was this a costume party, perhaps? I genuinely can’t tell. I think they all just want to look like this—especially Rae, who’s been seen in similar fits prior to Carter’s bday bash.
Truly, TikTokers can wear whatever they please. The longer I sit with it though, the more I cannot find a justifiable reason to rock Ed Hardy, of all things? At least throw a Von Dutch hat on.
