The Bachelor, CapesABC/Wenn; INFphoto

On last night’s Bachelor finale, Ben Flajnik proposed to model Courtney Robertson on a mountain top in Switzerland. Once the show’s stylist, Cary Fetman, found out it would be taped in such a cold location, he decided to dress the two final women in vintage capes to keep them warm. “When I saw Gwyneth at the Oscars [in her white Tom Ford cape and gown], I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is the most stunning thing I have ever seen!’” Fetman said. “And then I remembered how we put both girls in capes for the finale! People will probably think I copied her, but the show was shot months before the Oscars.” Fetman dressed Robertson in a dramatic long white cape to complement her black Alberto Makali gown, and Lindzi Cox wore a green velvet cape with a gold closure. What did you think of the capes? Let us know in the comments!

I actually loved the capes; very classic in style!

-Julie on March 13th, 2012

I loved Courtney’s cape, but felt that Lindzi’s made her look like Little Red (Green?) Riding Hood!

-Peggy Smith on March 13th, 2012

Loved the green cap not the dress but loved courtney’s dress but didn’t care for the cape but the black leather gloves when really good with the dress

-redneckwomen511@pacbell.net on March 13th, 2012

I loved the capes. They were both beautiful. It makes me wish I could wear one.

-jennifer on March 13th, 2012

The capes were absolutely stunning and both ladies looked gorgeous! Great taste. I liked the Off-white one better on Courtney, she did look great, and I did like the Green one. Very royal looking. Great job both dresses and capes were very beautiful. Very romantic.

-Cindy on March 13th, 2012

I thought the green cape did look “Red Riding Hoodish”, but in green. It didn’t look good on her and her dress was not flattering. Courtney’s attire went well together.

-Alma on March 13th, 2012

I thought the capes were very classy! I love the show & I wish the best for Ben & Courtney.

-Sheila on March 13th, 2012

Very magical moments with these ladies in their capes and dresses. I loved both outfits.

-Jacqueline on March 13th, 2012

i thought they did not do a great job on dressing lindz at all . i think they could have done better she is beautiful inside and out

-shirley on March 13th, 2012

I did not care for either dress. Lindzi’s would have been more flattering if it were a more full bottom. I thought the off white and black was stunning on Courtney. Especially with the gloves, though I didnt care for the overdone top. The green velvet was very red riding hood/Belle from Disney. It doesnt work on real life adults so much, in my opinion.

-Jenn on March 13th, 2012

I adored Courtney’s ivory cape. I wish I could fins one for myself. Any help?

-kyla on March 14th, 2012

Courtney’s should have been BLACK to match her soul.

-Deb on March 14th, 2012

Capes were awful!

-Nikki on March 14th, 2012

I might be the only one but truthfully I did not care for either of the capes, I think they tried to be too “FairyTale-ish.” If anything we thought Courtney looked like Cruella Devile. Maybe it was just us!

-Melissa on March 14th, 2012

I liked Courtney’s cape, but I did not like Lindzi’s! Agree with the other comments, “she looked like green riding hood.”

-Tami on March 14th, 2012

I thought the capes were beyond hideous. Linzi’s looked like a Christmas tree skirt and Courtney in general is just all wrong. Like a fairytale gone horribly bad.

-babefromtheburbs on March 14th, 2012

I loved both capes, however I don’t think green complimented Lindzi’s hair color; made her hair look drab.

-San Cere on March 14th, 2012

I totally thought that Courtney looked like Cruella!!! Although I can definitely imagine her terrorizing dogs and other cute little animals and children.

-Cindy on March 14th, 2012

Lindzi’s cape didn’t even match her dress and Courtney’s black leather gloves looked a bit hookerish for the fancy dress she had on.

-Sarah on March 14th, 2012

C looked ugly in her cape and dress. L’s dress and cape were nice. L was beautiful overall. C looked like a vampire……

-Maria DG on March 14th, 2012

I thought the capes were beautiful but loved Lindzi’s cape best. I like Courtney’s gown best. Lindzi deserved a better gown.

-Barb on March 14th, 2012

I agree with the majority. Lindsays cape was definately “little green riding hood” and the white one looked like it was designed for snow white. But as we all know, Courtney is more like The Wicked Witch than Snow White!!!

-sasc77 on March 14th, 2012

As far as the capes go, I wouldn’t wear one – although I understand they served an actual purpose (warmth). Lindzi looked stunning; I loved her dress. Curious though, if anyone noticed she changed shoes…. walking to Ben, it looked like she had on boots, but getting on the helicopter, clearly she was wearing strappy, pointed toe heels.

Courtney’s gloves were God awful; she looked like she was dressed for a funeral {probably Ben’s}.

-M on March 14th, 2012

So not Lindsey!! She is too down to earth to wear something like that. Now Courtney’s should have been white on one side and black on the other to mirror her two faced personality. I am very disappointed in Ben.Obviously, sex was uppermost in his mind and not honesty and integrity. Courtney is high maintenance and all about herself. Good luck with all that, Ben!

-bernadinematthews@yahoo.com on March 14th, 2012

I LOVE, LOVE LINDZI’S CAPE. REMINDED ME OF A CELTIC VICTORIAN LADY!!

-TAMI on March 15th, 2012

they would put courtney in the white one since she was the one to get proposed to…

-Zoe on March 16th, 2012

I loved the capes. Also, the dresses. Out of the two dresses, I preferred Courtney’s. Only because my body type is more like Courtney’s and her dress was perfect for her body type.

-JEANETTA on March 20th, 2012

I hope everyone reads this. I never usally want to voice my opinion on tv shows but heres the idea of the bachlor. You have Courtney, Lyndsay, Cassie B and Nikki. And you have a wine vinyard and a conservative family, with fun persoanlity and loves doing family things. Cassie B, was the Only one from the begining to show effection and be truthful with her feelings towards ben. It took the other girls a bit longer to make sure it was right. Cassie was admired by her spirit and fun and intrque. Courtney and sorry ben but she used every inch of her profession to get your attention, looks, flirts and sexual catches. And i feel truely sorry to all the woman who took ben seriously and was open hearted and did not use sexual effects to win his love. I may not know you courtney but it shows the facts through the show when you watch. Someone must be desperate to out beat girls by sex. And to try that hard come on. Ben I believe is a good man and deserves better and he let go some brillant, hard working, fun,and gorgious women just to be with a lie. This is show may just be tv but even tv guys you can see the expression and read people sincerity and i believe Cassie, Nikki, Lyndsay would have been married to ben if it were not for courtneys efforts in trying to win. Im not just saying it to say it. Its all there in the show. Sorry to my girls Cassie, Lyndsay, Nikki i love you guys though we may not know each other i know what it feels like. And hope to meet you someday. Lauren if you wish to email me about my post-lauren.blackford@yahoo.com Because those three woman deserve better and a good friend.
