Sterling K. Brown

This man is so, so talented. He can make anything watchable, so Paradise was ahead of the game already once he joined. He looks as you would expect, and that is a compliment.

James Marsden

Actually, that entire slide could also be about James Marsden. Same true facts.

Krys Marshall

I don't typically like white and off-white together, but I actually think this is more... ecru. It's different enough that it doesn't just look like white that someone left in the attic without proper protection from the elements. All of which is to say: Yay, she looks lovely.

Julianne Nicholson

Nicole Brydon Bloom

This is... sensible verging on twee? She had a throughline of being obsessed with playing Nintendo Wii Tennis that was very relatable to me.
