Ehhhhhh mixed bag. I love the new hair and she wouldn't be Chloe without her sunglasses, so neck up, 10/10. When we first saw only her upper torso in "Daddycop", I was kinda put off by her cardigan looking so....cozy? Like, I like the honeycomb pattern, but it looks thicker than her old one and kinda long, so like...comfy. Which, visually, I don't mind, but uh...

Chloe is NOT cozy or comfy.

Then we saw the rest of her in "Climatiqueen" and I was like "huh?!" This is partially the fault of the animation style giving all their characters the longest legs ever, but her skirt is too long despite being above the knee, which makes it too Corporate in the shots that don't show the hem imo. And with it having the same pattern and color of the Too Cozy Cardigan (which I think is supposed to be some kind of blazer but the collar gives Cardigan), it's just too busy.

I think they were going for "Clueless" vibes, with the all over same pattern and cute colors mixed with grown up suit cuts, like this:

But I don't think it works with just any pattern, there's a reason these are all plaid. And her skirt isn't youthful enough like a pleated one or a high waisted pencil. It's skirting of Just Left of Correct for me.

Then they dropped in "Revelator" that she's now an online fashion influencer and I was so annoyed. Just like Adrien, they didn't PUSH it hard enough for a So Called Fashion Icon. The show writers/designers should just abandon trying to put everyone in the Fashion industry when they don't care enough about it.

So anyway, my version based off what we know of Chloe in Season 6:

(Once again, the canon one doesn't look as bad to me when I draw it in my style lmao)

This episode was so well put together in so many ways!!

But Alya really shines!! From giving good advice (about Vincent), but still respecting her friends enough to make their own decisions (and make their own mistakes). And then showing up right after to help pick up the pieces without so much as an I told you so!

The parallel of “the best kept secret is one never told” followed by “the truth always finds a way!” as the very next line!

Of Alya’s anger! Righteous anger! And yet, she wants to talk to Marinette! She wants to understand! And that she fought for Adrien! That he deserves to know! That he literally cant heal without it here.

How honest she was with the whole “I can’t keep this secret! I won’t!”

But turning to Chat and saying “hey, it’s fine! You CAN erase my memory because Ladybug should be the one to tell this secret! Ladybug should be the one to heal this hurt!”

And how much faith she has when she lets Chat’s power hit her. There’s no fear. She trusts Marinette to eventually fix this! The lover of truth was willing to let this truth go, so that Marinette can get that chance!

And at the end of it all when she DOESN’T remember really what happened, she knows that SOMETHING did. And she’s worried for the burden Marinette is holding alone! And she wants to help.
