The Bachelor’s Litia Garr didn’t get the final rose. Instead, she got fashion revenge.
All of Bachelor Nation was on the edge of their seats as Garr, 29, confronted Grant Ellis about being blindsided on After the Final Rose. She didn’t mince words; she made a statement in a pair of rose-heeled shoes that you didn’t see on TV.
As revealed in an exclusive interview with Norberg Styling — made up of three sisters, Shayna, Megan and Samantha, who helped dress the season 29 runner-up for the hit ABC show — Garr jumped at the idea of wearing vintage Loewe rose-petaled mules to send a sartorial message to Ellis, 32, and audiences everywhere: She can buy herself flowers.
It was so subtle that the cameramen completely missed the moment. Had it been seen on air, it would have gone down in Bachelor history as fashion revenge footwear at its finest.

It was hardly the first time that Garr set the bar with her curated sense of style. She immediately became a frontrunner on night one when she stepped out of the limo with a bedazzled basketball in hand, but that’s not what caught the former athlete’s attention; he immediately complimented her dress and shoes. And can you blame him?
Both Garr and her styling team’s Instagram DMs and comments sections were flooded with messages from fans praising her outfits, desperate to know where they came from, including one follower who admitted that they’d spent “two hours trying to find” a Western-inspired coat that Garr wore in between filming on a girls’ trip to Montana’s Yellowstone National Park, as seen on the then-contestant’s Instagram, “because they were so obsessed with it.” (Garr thoughtfully replied to the comment, promising to send the fan a DM with a link to the jacket.)
According to Norberg Styling, “It was all Litia,” as nearly every single one of the gems Garr was seen in on the show were rare vintage pieces that she’d had in her closet for years. An avid shopper on The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective, her love for the thrill of finding the perfect Loewe shoe, for example, is symbolic of how she came onto the reality series looking to find the perfect love. After all, she’s all about timeless, forever fashion to last a lifetime.
Since Garr won the finale, sartorially speaking, she has been earning other accolades, including a spot on Us Weekly’s 2025 Reality Star Style of the Year Awards for “Best Vintage Looks.” Suffice it to say, the winners in every category were fiercely contested, which serves as further proof that the runner-up truly made her mark this year.
Below, a rewind of all the reasons why we’re still swooning over Garr’s predominantly pre-loved luxury wardrobe, as seen on The Bachelor.
