Budget Bachelor? Contestant Nikki Ferris reveals she wore her OWN clothes on the show… after last year’s girls were given access to a stylist who ‘sourced their outfits’
The Bachelor returned on Wednesday night, and along with it 28 new girls dressed to the nines in stunning outfits in an effort to fight for Matt Agnew’s heart.
However, new contestant Nikki Ferris has hinted that the girls supplied their own wardrobe for the series this time around.
The brunette beauty, 24, appears in promo shots for the show in chic white trousers and a leaf-printed bandeau top – the same outfit she was pictured in, back in 2018.

Taking to Instagram, Nikki marked her addition to The Bachelor, as she was one of the eight new arrivals on Thursday night.
Sharing photos of her posing outside the mansion, Nikki joked: ‘The old girls are about to have more breakdowns than the 5pm Sydney traffic report, when they see how hot the new girls are.’
She was dressed in a pair of high-waisted tailored trousers that had been teamed together with a bandeau top tied together at the bust.

In an interview with Whimn last August, The Bachelor stylist Kim Hurwitz explained that she fits each girl individually before they step out in front of the camera.
