It’s not an episode of The View if its cohosts aren’t discussing each other’s fashion choices.

During Thursday’s episode of the hit talk show, Whoopi Goldberg took notice of Alyssa Farah Griffin’s look of the day: a periwinkle dress made of floral lace. “You’re being very transparent this morning,” Goldberg joked.

Griffin, though, corrected her, noting that the dress wasn’t actually see-through, Joy Behar also clarifying that the material was’t exposing Griffin’s skin.

“How do we know? But it looks like it’s her body!” Goldberg responded.

“Got to leave them guessing,” Griffin responded coyly, before admitting that she did layer Spanx under her dress.

Goldberg relented and finally said, “Well, alright. It’s gorgeous. But it was surprising.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin’s lace dress becomes the topic of conversation on “The View”.

This then led to another conversation about Behar’s Gucci dress, which she recalled, was bought at a “big discount” during a sample sale shopping trip with Sunny Hostin. “I was stalking a woman,” she joked, remembering the way she eyed the designer item in the store.

“Y’all look good! Y’all are very good-looking today! Not that you’re not everyday,” Goldberg said complimenting her friends and coworkers.

They all agreed with Behar in that they looked “popping.”

Fashion has been a hot topic on the show before.

Back in October, the group jokingly roasted Hostin for her leopard-print jumpsuit and long ponytail, mistaking her for a member of the Cats ensemble.

“Sunny’s doing the road company of Cats,” teased Behar, who once had her own iconic on-the-air style moment when she wore her brown suit from 2004 almost two decades later. “She’s full leopard, all the way down. Advertised like Meow Mix.”
