Ever wondered if old friends can truly bounce back?
Clinton Kelly and Stacy London, those What Not to Wear legends, shocked fans with their rollercoaster ride of love and loathing.
In his 2017 memoir, Kelly spilled that they adored each other one minute and couldn’t stand it the next, even leading to a block on X.
But fast-forward to 2023, and they’re back, teaming up for Prime Video’s Wear Whatever the F You Want—proving that real bonds don’t break easy.
What sparked their big reunion?
Kelly, now 56, realized no one else could match London’s vibe for this fresh project.
He pitched the idea after chatting with a producer about reviving their old magic, but with a twist for today’s world.
“Wear Whatever the F You Want” flips the script on rigid fashion rules, letting people own their style.
London, 55, jumped on board, calling it a genius move, even though they hadn’t talked since the feud headlines hit.
Did misunderstandings almost ruin it all?
Headlines twisted Kelly’s words into pure hate, but it wasn’t that simple.
He explains that working nonstop for a decade straight—16-hour days without breaks—made tensions boil over, like a car trip with a sibling where you want to strangle them one second and laugh the next.
London felt the sting from clickbait stories, admitting they just needed to talk it out.
Once they did, they saw how outside drama, like grumpy showrunners, had pitted them against each other, especially in that nightmare season 6.
How did time apart make them stronger?
After What Not to Wear ended, they went their separate ways to grow individually, which Kelly compares to surviving an arranged marriage.
This break let them evolve their fashion philosophies and return as better versions of themselves.
Now, on their new show, they collaborate more openly—no more storming off for alone time.
They’re laughing through wardrobe sessions, mixing sweaters with skirts and adding pops of jewelry, all while embracing real-life style freedom.
What’s the takeaway from their story?
In a world that changes fast, Kelly and London’s journey shows how communication fixes what time and stress break.
Their show drops on Prime Video on April 29, capturing not just fashion’s shift but the beauty of mended friendships.
It’s a reminder that even TV icons deal with beef, but with effort, they come out shining brighter than ever.
