The popular stylists, who previously co-hosted “What Not to Wear” on TLC from 2003 to 2013, have reconnected for their new series on Prime Video, which gives clients the freedom to express themselves authentically. London explains that the show focuses on embracing individuality, body positivity, gender, sexuality, and race, topics that were not as prevalent during their previous show’s run. She emphasises the importance of evolving with the times and reflecting the current social climate.
Kelly, on the other hand, humorously refers to their previous show as “10 years of cringe,” acknowledging how societal beauty standards have changed over the years. He highlights the shift towards empowering clients to define their personal style goals rather than conforming to traditional fashion norms. This approach aims to celebrate diversity and respect each individual’s unique history and perspective.
The new series, “Wear Whatever the F You Want,” is described by London as “more meaningful” than their previous show, as it delves deeper into people’s personal stories and aspirations. She emphasises that the show is a platform to showcase the evolution of fashion and style in a more inclusive and understanding manner. Kelly echoes this sentiment, underlining the importance of respecting each person’s journey and choices.
As both Kelly and London have matured over the years, they reflect on their own personal growth and changes. London reveals she has shifted away from high heels due to health reasons and now gravitates towards more comfortable and practical attire. Meanwhile, Kelly shares his journey towards embracing his authentic self and letting go of others’ opinions. They both express how age and experience have brought wisdom and a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
The pair’s chemistry and humour shine through as they navigate the new series, inviting viewers to join eight clients on a transformative style journey. Kelly hopes that the show will inspire viewers to embrace their own uniqueness and pursue their dreams with confidence. The series promises to be a blend of style, self-discovery, and empowerment, resonating with audiences who seek authenticity and individual expression in their fashion choices.
“Wear Whatever the F You Want” premieres on Tuesday, April 29, on Prime Video, offering a fresh and inclusive approach to fashion and style. The show’s focus on personal empowerment and self-expression sets it apart from traditional makeover shows, making it a must-watch for fans of Kelly and London’s iconic partnership.
