Bachelor stars have been spotted wearing this lovely dress twice! Theresa Nist, the winner of season 1 of The Golden Bachelor, looked stunning in a beautiful lilac gown by Randi Rahm Couture when she got engaged to Gerry Turner. The dress, which features sequins, a deep V neckline, and a high thigh slit, was accessorized with a diamond-encrusted belt.
The keen-eyed fans of Bachelor Nation were quick to observe that the dress bore a striking resemblance to the one worn by former Bachelorette Michelle Young during the finale when Nayte Olukoya proposed. Michelle, 30, had worn a white version of the dress on Season 18 of The Bachelorette, which aired in December 2021.
Designer Randi Rahm had created numerous looks for Michelle throughout her season, including the one she wore for the finale.
In a TikTok video shared via @BachelorNation, the fashion designer expressed, "This special dress that I designed for Michelle has her essence to it. I think that’s what I love the most about it. It’s elegant, it’s sleek, but has a beautiful shine to it like she does."
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist discuss 'The Golden Bachelor' in Disney's John Fleenor. Randi expressed her admiration for the diamond strand detailing on the belt, which adds a subtle yet eye-catching element to the otherwise sleek and simple design of the dress.
Randi was overwhelmed by how beautiful Michelle looked in the gown, saying that it took her breath away. Neither Randi, Michelle, nor the 70-year-old Theresa have publicly commented on the matching dresses.
Michelle eventually split from Nayte, 29, in June 2022, just six months after their Bachelorette proposal. She is currently dating Jack Leius.
Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya are a couple from ‘The Bachelorette’ who are generating buzz. Theresa, in contrast, is eagerly anticipating her future with 72-year-old Gerry. Following Gerry's proposal in the recent episode, the couple plans to relocate to Charleston, South Carolina once they tie the knot.
Gerry and Theresa's first Golden Wedding will be broadcast live on ABC on January 4, 2024.
"It's no longer a secret!! I'm beyond excited to announce that my mom and Gerry are tying the knot!!! Whether it's fate or destiny, I don't know, but it definitely feels like it," Theresa's daughter, Jen, shared on Instagram on Friday, December 1. "They are absolutely perfect for each other. We love Gerry and his family so much, and I couldn't be happier that we can now share our constant smiles with everyone, and you all know why."
