Nikki Newman’s outfit during her lunch meeting with Lauren at the jazz lounge on the April 3 episode of The Young and the Restless has become a hot topic among fans. While the scene was meant to focus on Lauren asking Nikki to reveal Victor’s secrets, many viewers were focused on Nikki’s shimmering dress instead.
The glitzy look sparked a wave of responses online, with some praising the outfit while others questioned its appropriateness for the daytime setting.
The divide came in as fans were either loving the glamour or wondering if it fit the tone of a workday meeting.
“She looked lovely. Just not ready to work.”
One viewer thought Nikki looked beautiful, appreciating the dress as a fashion statement. But at the same time, they felt it didn’t look suitable for a professional meeting, especially in a business setting.
