Her makeover inspiration: At Avanti, Boyd wanted to imagine a bridal style worlds apart from the pretty and pure look she’ll actually don on the big day. She was inspired by the dark edge of a dominatrix — and it’s no surprise why. With Wicked Fit over, Boyd wanted to reclaim the sense of control she lost in the reality-TV experience, where every move is managed for the cameras, where contracts determine when, where, and how you can divulge even your biggest news. (Like, you know, an engagement.) She wouldn’t take back her time on Wicked: “It was a wild ride, a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” says Boyd. But it also taught her some (occasionally tough) lessons. “I learned a lot about myself and about who my true friends are.”
