For the grand finale of Espinal's shoot and the cover look, it should come as no surprise that she leaned into a statement gown. Swathed in satin and feathers wearing Lapointe's Satin Tab Gown ($2,450) in dark teal, she showed a stripped-back side of herself that evoked a sense of vulnerability and power at the same time. Rembert added matching Jimmy Choo sandals and a Le Vian Couture opal ring ($13,048) to accessorize and Wagenblast opted for a sleek, sculpted matte eye teamed with glowing skin and defined liner.
You could call this gown a glamorous version of the green muumuu she wore in episode 28, which she picked up in Portugal. "Bringing that piece back to the villa reminded me of my travels and reminded me of the good days whenever I was having a bad one," she said in an interview with the Today show. "It was more than a dress for sure — it really made me feel grounded." In our opinion, this was Espinal's editorialized moment of grounding, and in this gown, her inimitable glow shines through.
