Overall: For ALT0, I was not able to find mention of the fashion show in either ref. Can you quote from the source where the fashion show is mentioned? ALT1 and 2 verified. Z1720 (talk) 15:53, 17 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Z1720: End of the third paragraph. The word "fashion" wraps around a line. (There's also an ad for it mentioning its airing) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:45, 17 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hook is now verified. All hooks approved. Preference for ALT1. Z1720 (talk) 18:12, 17 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
