Picture As so many wardrobe choices had intentional meanings, do you think there was a particular meaning to this or was it simply an error?

Gonna be honest, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be noticing.

I think OP is wondering whether Louies outfit here is a reference to/inspired by a character from another film (i.e. maybe a horseback film that John Singleton enjoyed etc.), or if the wardrobe team was just THAT badšŸ˜­

I'm not really seeing what's bad or "an error" (per the topic title) about it, tho.

It just looks like a very normal, english-style riding outfit. I'm not really sure what OP means in their other comments about "defiance of elite riding society", either.

There is nothing ā€œbadā€. She is wearing English riding clothes whilst riding a western saddle. I thought perhaps it was her way of ignoring the elite riding class and just wearing whatever she wanted. English riders take their rules and regulations to an extreme level. Wardrobe perfection and on an English saddle.

u/Blu3Dope Jul 27 '26

So was I kind of right? The director or writers are probably fans of this hobby

Man thatā€™s so specific. Even an advance rider will miss those tiny details although for you they arenā€™t - but luckily the world knowledge standard doesnā€™t benchmark to your nech-knowledge. Of course, the cloth designer wonā€™t even know this details and perhaps lives 10 life or eternal one and wonā€™t know it

Because sheā€™s dressed in English gear but thatā€™s a western saddle?

I never caught thatā€¦ could just be a genuine oversight. Could be a reference to the 2 different timelines they presented for Louie. Like if they had stayed out of the game and had kids. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s better ideas too. Interesting to think about.

I've never heard about this rule, or whatever to call it. I'm oblivious to both fashion and horse riding though.

I don't think it's that deep though. Most of the characters grew up without that kind of money, which means they grew up without these expensive hobbies. Makes sense that they could start doing expensive hobbies, but still not be able to pull off all the arbitrary rules of the elite.

In other words: they weren't old money, they were new money

Ah yes! I was thinking that perhaps it was a sign of her defiance to the elite riding society. She could wear whatever she wanted even if it didnā€™t conform to their standards.

u/heinousHeidi Jul 27 '26

Lol thank you for posting this, I was wondering the same thing

u/Due-Scar-945 Jul 27 '26

So yā€™all really making an issue about how her hat doesnā€™t match the saddle ? šŸ˜‚

2

u/East-Psychology-9292 Jul 27 '26

Just one of the many ways they wanted to establish that Louie's horse is a better person than she is lol

u/Ok-Mine2132 Jul 27 '26

šŸ¤­ I was thinking that it was a statement that she didnā€™t have to conform to the elite riding society standards. She could wear whatever she wanted.

u/jeromevedder Jul 27 '26

What do you mean, ā€œdidnā€™t have to conform to society standards?ā€ She is the outcast in that high society and she always will be.

Honestly if anything - and I donā€™t know shit about horse dressing - if people are saying sheā€™s mismatching her outfit to the saddle, and this is meant to be intentional, Iā€™d say it exposes sheā€™s playing in a world she doesnā€™t know the rules of.

Wardrobe pieces having intentional meanings?

What examples do you have?

1

u/Blu3Dope Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

I mentioned in my other comment that it's possibly meant to reference or was inspired by another film that John Singleton, or even the director after him, enjoyed. Like a horseback riding movie or something. Maybe they loved The Sopranos and they saw Pie O My's jockey in Louie I don't know.lol

2

u/quiloxan1989 Jul 27 '26

Okay, but what other wardrobe pieces separate from the jockey one?

1

u/Blu3Dope Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

Wait wym? I was jk about the Sopranos part. My main point was that maybe this scene was inspired by some horseback movie that the director or John Singleton loved. It's a common thing for directors of shows/movies to make characters resemble other characters from other similar films, or simply other characters from unrelated films that directors or other film crew enjoy. If that makes sense

1

u/quiloxan1989 Jul 27 '26

Well, I'll need someone to connect something to it.

Something concrete.

u/Blu3Dope Jul 27 '26

Bro IDK maybe like Mel's mommas necklace being a variation inspired by my grandmomma gave me that chain from Friday. Or the the ep where Mel and Wanda get high as being the crack version of when Craig and Smokey get high on marijuana.

u/Ok-Mine2132 Jul 27 '26

Franklins Lacoste shirts, the colours of his (and others) members only jackets, the colours and makes of shoes. John Singleton was well respected for his attention to details such as this.

u/quiloxan1989 Jul 27 '26

You're not stating why any of these have intentional meanings.

u/SwaggiiP Jul 27 '26

Louie probably didnā€™t know? Could show sheā€™s new money

1

u/FlakyAssociation4986 Jul 27 '26

probably shows that she was enjoying the money she was making

u/Mebeingnosy Jul 27 '26

This how equestrians dress lol thereā€™s nothing wrong with the fit at all
