It's no secret that "Making the Cut" is one of the hottest fashion competition shows on TV at the moment. And with all of the high-stakes drama, inimitably cool designs, and shocking twists that came to life in the latest episodes of the series, it's pretty easy to see why.
Prime Video's beloved fashion show returned for its long-awaited third season a few weeks back, and already, the series has churned out some of its most showstopping challenges yet. While industry icons Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn returned as hosts to the series — along with a slew of guest judges, including everyone from Moschino's Creative Director Jeremy Scott to celebrities like Chlöe and Halle Bailey, Jason Bolden, and more — season three of "Making the Cut" has also managed to introduce viewers to a fresh batch of designers from around the world, all of whom are competing against one another for a shot at the top prize.
In the show's latest episodes, the remaining competitors were tasked with creating a whimsical, two-piece festival-wear collection, along with a two-look collection that not only represented their brand but also had a social media video attached to it. For the festival-wear challenge, designer Jeanette Limas came out on top (once again!) with her winning look of a cropped blouse and skirt that's free-flowing, asymmetrical, and even available to shop in two colorways. And in episode six, designer Georgia Hardinge emerged as the winner with a trippy printed knit maxi dress that's as funky as it is true to the designer's aesthetic.
All of the winning looks from episodes five and six of Prime Video's "Making the Cut" are now available to shop on Amazon — starting at just $50. Read on to shop the styles, along with a few additional pieces inspired by the winning looks.
"Making the Cut" Season 3, Episode 5: Festival-Wear Winning Look
In the fifth episode of season three, competitors were asked to create festival-inspired styles that were reflective of their own aesthetic and brand. With a few winning looks already under her belt, designer Jeanette Limas came out on top once again in this task with her "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Cropped Blouse ($70) and "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Maxi Skirt ($80) design. The breezy set has us wishing it was festival season all over again. But hey — at least we know what we're wearing to Coachella next year!
"Making the Cut" Season 3, Episode 5: Crossover Blouse Inspired by the Winning Look
This "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Crossover Blouse ($60) pulls inspiration from Limas's darling blouse-and-maxi combo — while elevating it with a sexy twist. Unlike the other, polyester style, this piece boasts more of a silky and glossy design. Plus, it's also available to shop in a black-and-red floral pattern.
"Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Pleated Wide Leg Pant Inspired by the Winning Look
You can never go wrong with investing in a good formal pant, especially if it's as chic as this "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Pleated Wide Leg Pant ($70). The trouser-like style features a pleated design that helps to make the bottom even more versatile — allowing you to dress it up or down, however you see fit. Bonus: it even has pockets (because, of course, pockets make everything better!).
"Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Crepe Sash Wrapped Midi Dress Inspired by the Winning Look
If you're looking for an eye-catching transitional dress that will take your wardrobe from summer to fall in an instant, look no further than this "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 5: Crepe Sash Wrapped Midi Dress ($80). The patterned style is wrapped in a red floral print that has us wishing summer would never end. It's also available in a classy and muted black design.
"Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Two-Look Collection Winning Look
Your eyes aren't deceiving you — this "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Printed Knit Maxi Winning Look ($100) is truly just that cool. With a love for dimensional pleating techniques, designer Georgia Hardinge won the challenge in episode six with this funky yet modern maxi dress. We love how the classic, long-sleeved maxi style gets a seriously trippy upgrade thanks to the gown's symmetrical and mind-boggling print.
"Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Printed Catsuit Inspired by the Winning Look
If you loved the two-piece winning look in episode six, then you're definitely going to love this "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Printed Catsuit ($90). The same technique that designer Hardinge used in her challenge-winning style was also applied to this eye-catching number. We're obsessed with the violet coloring of this piece, though the style is also available to shop in a silver hue if you're looking for something a bit sleeker.
"Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Georgette Printed Maxi Dress Inspired by the Winning Look
Nothing says fall quite like an earthy green midi dress, and we have our eyes on this "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Georgette Printed Maxi Slip Dress ($70) in particular. Not only is the dark-green, polyester piece unlike anything we've ever seen, but it's also perfect for seasonal layering — thanks to its spaghetti-strap design, of course.
"Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Cropped Top and Legging Set Inspired by the Winning Look
We love a good matching set as much as the next fashionista, so naturally, we're pretty taken by this "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: Cropped Top and Legging Set Inspired by Georgia's Winning Look ($50). The top features a modern, puff-sleeve design that's as on trend as it is totally chic. And with the "Making the Cut" Season 3 Episode 6: High-Waist Leggings ($70) to pair, you'll have an inimitably cool set that's simply perfect for wear in the fall.
