After a journey that began on the last season of The Bachelor, Becca Kufrin will hand out her final rose on Monday night, as season 14 of The Bachelorette comes to a close. So many of our Monday nights were spent finding doppelgängers for the contestants, wondering which of our faves would end up in Paradise (or even as the next Bachelor), and ogling at Becca’s many elaborate outfits.

There are a few labels that come up repeatedly throughout the season and the franchise. One of those is Randi Rahm, a New York-based evening wear designer known for her bridal collections. (Fitting!) This season, she was responsible for two of the most important gowns of the series: the one she wore to meet all of her prospective suitors on the first night, and the one she’ll wear to pick the big winner on Monday night.

The relationship between Rahm and the show stems from her longstanding friendship with Cary Fetman, the show’s stylist. The process goes like this: “I typically have multiple conversations with Cary before filming begins, where we discuss our thoughts and ideas… [He] usually tells me about the personality and characteristics of the current bachelorette—I don’t meet them in advance, so I don’t learn about their individual style and shape the way I normally do when clients come into my atelier here in New York City—[and] I decide which dresses I think would fit his descriptions and which pieces would be appropriate for the show.”

Most of the time, Rahm says Fetman will pull looks from her existing collections to dress the women of the Bachelor universe, but there have been a few memorable custom pieces, like the Flame Rose Dress that Rachel Lindsay wore on the promotional posters for her season of The Bachelorette. Rahm hasn’t worked with Becca directly (yet), but thinks “the pieces [she] and Cary chose together are all very elegant and romantic.”

They were also, for the most part, quite sparkly: From Randi Rahm’s delightfully embellished gowns to the slinky, sequined dresses Fetman picked out for the Vegas leg of Becca’s “journey,” we remember so many of the season’s best dates based on the statement pieces our Bachelorette pulled out for the occasion. With the highly-anticipated final rose ceremony looming, we’re looking back at some of her best looks from the past few weeks.

Tom Ford showstopper

Hey, if your fiancé breaks up with you in front of a camera crew and you’re about to embark on another season of reality television to try to find love once again, wouldn’t you want to do so in a Tom Ford gown? Becca had the right idea for The Bachelorette season 14 promotional images.

Randi Rahm premiere pearls

Becca’s first official gown of the season, to meet all the eligible contestants at the Bachelor mansion, was plucked from Randi Rahm’s bridal collection. “Many of my wedding gowns are extremely versatile and transitional—they can just as easily be worn to walk down the aisle on your special day as they can be worn to a fabulous event or party,” says Rahm. “Every inch of the gown was covered in pearls, which took over three months to hand-sew.” Though she doesn’t like to pick favorites from her designs—”I always say they’re like my children!”—Rahm concedes that the premiere look would rank highly. “My teamand I spent a tremendous amount of time on it, over 600 hours to be exact,” she tells us.

Rachel Zoe bridal

Becca really leaned into the bridal theme in those early episodes: For her first daytime date, she opted for a white Rachel Zoe gown from the designer’s Wedding Edit.

Red-hot Randi Rahm

This is one of two Randi Rahm jumpsuits Becca would wear on her early dates. “The delicate but plunging lace bodice of the red Christina jumpsuit is juxtaposed by the tailored, slightly flared bottom,” notes the designer.

Sherri Hill sequins

New levels of sparkle unlocked with this sequined Sherri Hill number.

The entirely-sheer bodice of this Randi Rahm jumspuit made primetime-friendly by the 3D embellishments.

Michelle Mason blazer-dress hybrid

Becca’s velvet Michelle Mason blazer dress felt like a pretty realistic date-night outfit, actually. (No shade to the daytime gowns, buuut…)

Strapless Randi Rahm

According to Fetman’s Instagram, red is Becca’s favorite color—something viewers can infer from her on-screen wardrobe.

Zhivago velvet va-va-voom

This plunging and high-slitted velvet gown is Bachelor-meets-Jessica Rabbit.

Haley slip

Becca’s iridescent slip really stole the show from the contestants attempting to serenade her. (Sorry, y’all.)

Randi Rahm fit-and-flare

Randi Rahm’s so-called Barbie gown was “Cary’s favorite,” according to the designer. It’s a black fit-and-flare style that brings red-carpet flair (pun intended) to a rose ceremony.

Vintage Naeem Khan

We stan a vintage party dress moment.

Macduggal naked dress

Long live the naked dress.

Sunset and Spring animal prints

The Bachelorette is onto one of the summer’s biggest fashion trends: animal prints.

Show Me Your Mumu beach dress

For just $184, you, too, can channel the Bachelorette while on vacation! A group of men vying for your attention, though, doesn’t come with the purchase.

Off-the-shoulder Cushnie et Ochs

It wouldn’t be a Bachelor show if there wasn’t a good off-the-shoulder moment!

Manning Cartell bodycon

What to wear when you’re walking into a room filled with all your exes, and it’ll all be televised? Lace bodycon will do. Becca opted for a formfitting, sheer-lace midi dress by Manning Cartell for the Men Tell All special.

Randi Rahm finale

That plunging white dress Becca slips on in the Maldives for her final rose ceremony? Yup, that’s a Randi Rahm original.
