Last Friday, prior to the premiere of the reboot of cult TV series Twin Peaks, Showtime threw a star-studded Hollywood premiere at the Ace Hotel Theater, and many of the show’s returning favorites were in attendance. After what seems like an eternity, the latest incarnation of the show, which ran two seasons from 1990 to 1991 and spawned a 1992 feature film, has finally returned. Showtime, which requested that the stars kept tight-lipped about what they saw at the premiere, released the first four episodes of the long-awaited return of the mystery series on Sunday. The new episodes delivered a lot of WTF moments, some new characters and typical David Lynch strangeness. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. The reboot delighted fans, but didn’t bring in monster ratings. The premiere netted an estimated 506,000 viewers. But, hey, let’s talk fashion.

Let’s start with one of David Lynch’s favorite actresses Laura Dern (from my favorite Lynch flick, Wild at Heart), who has yet to make an appearance in the reboot. The 50-year-old may have thought a fashion tribute to Lynch was in order for the premiere. Her dress by Rodarte is just as schizophrenic as the first four episodes of the new season have been. It’s quite a mish-mosh, without any unifying theme. I do like the top, especially the plunging neckline, but it doesn’t look right with the asymmetrical skirt. I’m also not wild (at heart…see what I did there?) with the sequins and (what looks like) brocade combo. But Laura looks amazing – I’d just like to see her in another dress – maybe like the one she is wearing as her character in The Last Jedi, perhaps?

It appears that 46-year-old Mädchen Amick, who plays Shelly, also went with a Lynchian fashion statement in a dress by Raisa & Vanessa. Mädchen also looks ageless, but that dress is so much WTF. Don’t get me wrong, I love a black gown, but this one got cut-out crazy. And that long fringe on the sleeve is more Met Gala than cable television premiere, don’t you think? Sadly, it’s not much better from the back.

Sheryl Lee, who plays the ill-fated Laura Palmer, is also 50, which I can’t believe. Maybe David Lynch has a connection to some sort of fountain of youth. She was the victim of some unfortunate makeup (I think it was the lipstick) when she appeared on the first episode of the new season (I guess the Black Lodge can do that to a woman), but here, she looks absolutely radiant. I’m not nuts about the shapeless dress though – it looks like something from the Mrs. Roper starter collection, but the navy blue shade brings out the best in her hair and eyes. The look at least is better than being wrapped in plastic.

Grace Zabriskie, who plays Laura’s mother, is giving me “mother of the bride” here. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. She plays a mother and she’s 76. I do like the burgundy color on her and she does look quite elegant.

Kimmy Robertson, who plays the much-needed comic relief role of ditzy sheriffs’ department receptionist Lucy Moran, showed up in an outfit that definitely fits her character’s daffy personality. I mean, Lucy is still freaked out by cell phones. If you got rid of the furry wrap and the scrunched pony tails, it’s a cute dress and I love the shoes. Out of all of the actors who have returned for the show, Kimmy has changed the least – might be the child-like innocence of her character. Or good genes, I’m not sure, but I want to look that young when I’m 62 (yes, I had to Google that, and I can’t believe it).

Speaking of good genes, Kyle MacLachlan is still as swoon-worthy as he can be, and he makes 58 look good. He’s already proven he looks great in a suit as Agent Cooper, so it’s no surprise that he looks downright dapper in this blue suit. Kyle’s wife, Desiree Gruber, looks effortlessly cool as well in a black shift dress. Would you expect any less from the Executive Producer of Project Runway?
