For some reason, Riverdale seems to push peoples buttons. Why? Is it because the cast is impossibly good-looking? That they wear miniskirts one minute but heavy winter coats the next? Based on Archie Comics, this show is more Gossip Girl meets Twin Peaks than bubblegum shenanigans. To be honest, I love it. Riverdale fashion rivals the haute couture of Gossip Girl with its mix of vixen chic and good-girl sweaters and coats. Shot in Vancouver, there is plenty of misty atmosphere to warrant the sweaters and plaid, but the over-the-top characters also allows for the strangest of teen trends (choker necklaces, very red lips, high heels in high school). Starring newcomers Lili Rienhart, Camila Mendes, Madelaine Petsch, Ashleigh Murray KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse and Madchen Amick, it's full of beautiful people that are easy on the eyes. Also, the chemistry is off the charts! Whether you are a #Barchie or #Bughead shipper, there is always intrigue and secrets in Riverdale.
I love Lili Rienhart as Betty - she sports the classic ponytail, but this Betty is no Betty-bot. With tons of family secrets, Betty always wants to find the truth. Here, she wears my Triangles Necklace with one triangle in the season 2 mid-season finale, "Silent Night, Deadly Night". She also wore this necklace in the previous episode "House of the Devil".

What would Riverdale be without Josie (and the Pussycats)? Played by Ashleigh Murray, Josie and her fashion is predictably sassy and talented. Here, she wears my Triangle Cage Earrings (which have also been seen on Jane the Virgin and Arrow).

Already in season 2, I'm excited to see where this goes! They've seemingly solved the mystery of the Black Hood, but that last look by Betty indicates that things aren't over yet. And poor Jughead has already maybe crossed the line while being a serpent. See? So much good drama!
