Donna Matturri
This lovely cream-colored sweater is so interesting! I’m wondering if it might be hand knit? The embellishment along the edges looks especially unique. Her glasses tonight are similar to Friday’s, but look like a slightly different shape to me! (Might just be the camera angle.)
Ryan Clary
I was excited to see a contestant from Chattanooga! (Wish it were me though! haha) Ryan is wearing a vibrant red sweater and dark blue dress shirt. This is a good combo, I especially like the contrast of the red with the background. He kept his shoulder-length hair down which gives him a laid back, youthful vibe.
Caroline Gulick
I like Caroline’s big hoop earrings! Caroline wore a black cardigan over a black shirt (nice layering!) We’ve seen several solid black outfits lately though, so I want to mention something. When Jeopardy! says to wear “dressy interview” attire, many people automatically picture a classic solid black look. While that works really well irl, it doesn’t always pop on screen & details can get lost.
If you’re planning a Jeopardy! outfit and you’re working with solid black pieces, consider intentionally adding details - here are some examples:
choose pieces with texture, such as Cindy’s or Margaret’s sheer sleeves
choose pieces with embellishments, such as Cindy’s rose outfit from Samantha Pleet
add accessories large enough to be visible on screen, such as Cindy’s celestial earrings, Margaret’s necklace + earrings + glasses chain combo, or Jackie’s shiny dangle earrings
choose pieces with an interesting/unique silhouette, such as Jackie’s chic sheath dress or Andrew’s villain turtleneck
mix & match solid black pieces with bright or jewel tone pieces (bright blouse with black cardigan/blazer or vice versa!) modeled here by Kat, Katherine, Nikkee, Emma, Mara, and Allison
Mayim Bialik
I’m a big fan of embellished sleeves and this is a pretty color! Mayim wore this blouse once before (on 3/7, I think with the same skirt!) This season, she (or her stylist) has been experimenting with blazerless outfits, but the last time she appeared sans blazer was 5/29.
Shop my Etsy for fun, customizable, entirely unofficial Jeopardy-related products.
Mayim just should toss the big, cartoonish, face-hiding glasses; the ones she's wearing here are a zillion times as attractive. The big ones are like an old-fashioned caricature of "smart woman."
Love your montages of all the contestants who wore black + color/accessories!
