Summer is here and the Bachelorette is officially back! While we all know that every season “is the most dramatic one yet,” the Bachelorette Season 19 is truly something special! For the first time in Bachelor franchise history, two Bachelorettes will be featured throughout the entire season. As you probably guessed, this means twice the romance, drama, and of course, fashion!

First impressions (especially when they come with a first impression rose) can make or break someone’s Bachelorette journey, so night one is of major importance! Night one fashion on the Bachelorette typically features the most eye-catching and elegant wardrobe pieces you’ll see all season- so don’t forget to take notes.

This season started off with 33 men trying to woo two bachelorettes, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia. Both women are moving on from Clayton Echard in style, wearing Randi Rahm Couture dresses on premiere night, which is not uncommon for Bachelor Nation to witness, as Randi has also designed for leads such as Jojo Fletcher, Tayshia Adams, Becca Kufrin, Rachel Lindsay and Clare Crawley.

If you’re anything like us, you might be feeling some FOMO-Fear of Missing Out. These Randi Rahm dresses can cost anywhere up to ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS – YES, $150,000!

We definitely don’t have a Bachelorette level budget to spend on evening gowns, but we do have a trick that helps us save big on custom, couture, and designer dresses. Queenly is the #1 spot for all things formalwear where you can browse through thousands of gowns that are just as glamorous as Gabby’s or Rachel’s. Find a dress of a similar style to Gabby’s for only $70. Or, if you prefer Rachel’s look, here’s a similar find for just $150 from glam designer Mac Duggal:

Gabby’s Style

During her night one debut, Gabby wore an elaborate, figure-hugging black mermaid dress. The see-through fabric features sparkly banding that elongates Gabby’s silhouette while showing off her curves. This sexy style is a classic look that can be easily recreated by browsing through Queenly’s collection of black mermaid dresses.

Black and White Mermaid Dress
This black and white mermaid dress features intricate banding across the entire silhouette. While not exactly the same as Gabby’s dress, the banding on this gown will achieve the same thing: highlight your curves while making you look extra long and lean.

Black Terani Couture Mermaid Dress
This Terani Couture gown is an over-the-top style that is so night-one-worthy! See-through like Gabby’s gown and just as sexy, this dress will make you stand out even in a sea of 33 men. The delicate beading and tulle skirt add the perfect touch of elegance to this overall sultry look.

Black Mac Duggal Mermaid Dress
Mac Duggal dresses are known for being extra eye-catching, but this gown is a step above the rest! This black mermaid gown features floral embroidery, a deep-v neckline, and a structured, ruffle skirt. If you’re searching for the most elaborate mermaid style, then this Mac Duggal design might just be the one for you!

Rachel’s Style

Rachel was effortlessly elegant on night one in her champagne-colored, side-slit evening gown. The ultra-high slit features eye-catching banding on the top that adds an extra element of sexiness to the overall look. This side-slit silhouette is combined with a classy high neckline to balance out the sexiness of her style. The categories and filters on Queenly are the perfect tools for finding a similar gown that includes all these different elements.

Gold Sequined Gown with High Neckline
Get ready to feel like you’re literally dripping in gold! This fully sequined evening gown will sparkle and shine from all angles, all night long. Although this gown doesn’t have a sexy side slit, it features a high neckline that closely mirrors Rachel’s elegant look.

Gold Gown with Side Slit and Plunging Neckline
We’ve never seen a gown that screams “I’m searching for my future husband” quite like this one! The plunging neckline, high slit, and banding around the waist make this look extra eye-catching and ultra sexy. You’ll be sure to have your own Bachelorette moment wearing a gown as stunning as this one!

Nude Sequined Gown with Sheer Skirt and Side Slit
If you thought you couldn’t make a side-slit any sexier, this gown is here to prove you wrong! This side-slit is carved into a sheer, tulle skirt that’s absolutely covered in sequins. The pattern of the sequins stretches across the bodice and falls vertically down the skirt, creating a design that will highlight your curves while making your legs look extra long.
