Oooh, how she wooed us all. Little Kat McPhee from Sherman Oaks Cali!. She started out the girl next door and grew up very quickly as the AI weeks passed by. Jeans and dresses, sexy slinky tops, lots and lots of pretty jewelry, and then that hair! Is it me, or did she shrink a couple of sizes over the ten week competition? Maybe it was just her gaining momentum and confidence: she looked better and better each week playing with color and a variety of styles.
Do you wanna know what DIDN’T change about McPhee? Her JEWELRY. Week after week, she chose the beautiful designs of LexiLu, adding that extra special touch to those ever changing outfits. And at the end of her run as the queen of the AI stage, she not only walked away a total winner, she left with a whole new wardrobe, new hair, numerous pairs of shoes and most importantly…a collection of earrings made for a STAR. I am SO jelly!!
