Hey ECT Titans,
It’s Monday!
Cough…cough… excuse us, it’s the 2nd last Monday of 2023 and you know what that means – it’s recap time!
For those who are boarding this ECT recap tour bus for the first time, welcome aboard! We here are all about analyzing the blasts from the past and we pride ourselves on being a loving communi-tea that lives for Black Girl wellness, beauty, and everything celebri-tea.
So, your experience today begins on the world-famous Color Purple Red Carpet where fans weren’t particularly excited about Halle Bailey’s look – the tulle, layers, and oversized outfit made some of y’all really mad! And Twitter (sorry, X) was in shambles – just see for yourself.

Up next, we had the blossoming romance between Lupita and one Joshua Jackson – yeah, that one elicited mixed reactions with most expressing shock. Yeah, it wasn’t in our 2023 Bingo cards either babe!
