Quote: Maddie, Buck and Eddie (+ a mini Fashion Meets Fandom Costume Analysis)

Maddie: Why are you dressed like that?

Buck: Uh, it was a-a themed party.

Maddie: What was it, pastel and puke?

Buck: No, '80s. I'm Crockett. He's Tubbs.

Eddie: He's Tubbs. I'm Crockett. And this isn't my puke. I don't think.

Maddie: Okay, whatever, can you just go and get changed. You're over half an hour late. Uh... Where's Chimney?

Buck: It's complicated.

~ Maddie Buckley, Evan "Buck" Buckley and Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz, 9-1-1 season 7 episode 5: You Don't Know Me

I still can't get over Buck and Eddie not only showing up late to Buck's sister Maddie Buckley and Howard "Chimney" Han's wedding. But looking like that (see gifs below). However, most importantly they somehow lost Chimney. And from looking at the trailer for the sixth episode (which airs on Thursday), I guess they partied way too hard during Chimney's bachelor party to notice he wasn't even with them. But if they knew the wedding was the next day, why did they choose to go all out like this? They were partying as if it was their bachelor party and not Chimney's. I hope when the time comes for Buck and Eddie to get married, Chimney will throw them a big bachelor party and celebrate as if it was his own party.

Now to go back to their Miami Vice inspired costumes, pastel suits in either a fitted or oversized/baggy style were popular looks in the 1980s. Miami Vice is the epitome of iconic 80s fashion so I can see why they went with James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs inspired outfits. However, Eddie and Buck must have really put their suits through the wringer because just look at them. And it's not just their suits that look absolutely horrible because they are both so dirty and disheveled. And not to mention hungover. And what's the point of Eddie keeping the buttoned up collar on when the rest of his shirt is gone. I'm tempted to write up a longer Fashion Meets Fandom Costume Analysis, because there is just so much happening with their theme costumes.

Side note, I love watching old TV shows and I've watched Miami Vice, it's a good show, maybe I'll rewatch it. I noticed there are quite a few similarities between Crockett and Tubbs and Buck and Eddie. Maybe in another post, I'll write something about it as well.
