CHICEASE RUTHLESS REINVENTION CARDIGAN

When Jill Barrow arrived in LA from Sonoma's wine country, her style was truly effortless—beachy, outdoorsy, with natural fibers carefully curated by her Swedish model mother. Being gorgeous meant it really didn't matter what she wore, but that wasn't enough for Jill, who wanted everything she saw and liked.

Working part-time at Nordstrom while awaiting her big break, Jill met Kate, another aspiring actress with sophisticated LA style that Jill instantly coveted. This ankle-length ChicEase cardigan became the first piece in Jill's calculated style theft—a garment she had no idea was from SHEIN and only cost $20.59.

Kate, who struggled to get callbacks, was in shock when she showed up for an audition and saw Jill already there wearing her signature sweater. She completely melted down, screaming, "YOU EAVESDROPPED ON MY AGENT'S CONVERSATION AND YOU'RE HERE! IS THAT MY SWEATER TOO?"

The casting director motioned for Jill to come back. "Jill, you have a minute?"

She flashed Kate a wickedly evil grin. "I guess it is your sweater, and it looks like I just accidentally stole your style and made it better. Sorry, not sorry."

This talent for ruthless reinvention followed Jill straight to Underwood, where she spotted aging French dancer Corinne's signature crystal-encrusted angel wings that had made her Krush's headliner for decades. Three nights later, Jill emerged wearing suspiciously similar wings but with "improvements" that caught every red light in the club.

When Corinne confronted her backstage, tearfully clutching this very cardigan around her shoulders, Jill merely shrugged and said loud enough for Kandi to hear, "Maybe they need someone who can actually lift their arms above their head while wearing them."

By the next evening, Corinne was relegated to server duty, and Jill had secured the headline slot. As Narssica once noted, "In Hollywood or Underwood, Jill doesn't just want to shine—she wants to eclipse."

Get it for the Narssica price: $20.59 on SHEIN (Zeuss keeps a stock for ambitious dancers at Krush who study Jill's every move)
