Anticipation for the highly awaited third season of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ has reached a fever pitch, especially with a perplexing new development surrounding Belly’s potential wedding dress, sparking widespread speculation among dedicated fans.
A pivotal scene from the latest episode showed Belly (Lola Tung) trying on wedding dresses alongside Taylor and her mother, but notably, her own mother, Laurel, was absent. This specific detail has fueled a leading fan theory suggesting that the dress shown is not, in fact, Belly’s actual wedding gown, hinting at a dramatic twist in the storyline.
Social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), have become a hub for these discussions, with fans articulating their strong convictions. One viewer remarked, “Belly my princess don’t worry your mum will be there for your actual wedding dress shopping,” while another emphatically stated, “Belly babe it doesn’t suck but that’s not your wedding dress,” underscoring the collective doubt.
Further complicating matters, discrepancies have emerged when comparing the on-screen dress to those featured in promotional stills and the official Season 3 trailer. While some ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ enthusiasts believe the dresses are identical, a significant portion argues they are distinctly different, adding another layer to the mystery surrounding Belly’s future.
Adding to the intrigue, an intriguing ‘superstition’ theory has gained traction. An X user posited, “Showing the wedding dress while shopping… yeah his ass is getting left at the altar,” drawing a parallel to the traditional belief that a groom seeing the dress before the wedding portends bad luck, suggesting a meta-narrative foreshadowing within the show itself.
The underlying narrative of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ revolves around the complex love triangle involving Belly, Jeremiah Fisher, and Conrad Fisher, adapted from Jenny Han’s beloved YA book series. While the books reveal a specific endgame, showrunner Jenny Han has previously hinted at potential divergences for the series, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats regarding Belly’s ultimate choice.
Even the cast members themselves remain tight-lipped, contributing to the suspense. Lola Tung, Christopher Briney, and Gavin Casalegno have all suggested that fans “don’t really know” what to expect, implying significant on-screen shakeups that could deviate from the original source material and reshape the love triangle’s outcome.
As the ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ fandom actively engages in these theories, Prime Video has issued community guidelines, emphasizing a “ZERO tolerance policy for bullying and hate speech” to maintain a positive environment. This reflects the intense passion and investment fans have in Belly’s journey and the dramatic conclusion of ‘TSITP Season 3’.
