Farmer Searchs a Wife - Dutch version

One of the big hits on the Dutch television during the last years is the program Boer Zoekt Vrouw. I guess it is almost the same formula of reality television series Farmer Wants a Wife. In the Dutch version a bachelor farmer looks for a wife who would also have a life in a farm - and not a woman from the big city. In the Netherlands it has been reaching an audience of almost 5 million people (I know, I know, a ridiculously small figure - but just remember the Dutch population reaches almost 17 million souls).  This is the highest rated entertainment show in the Netherlands so far and is presented by a very charismatic actress: Yvon Jaspers (1973) - who lives in Amsterdam with husband and kids. Her parents are from the south of the Netherlands, Brabant. Her grandparents used to be farmers.

Yvon used to be elegant and to show some personality with the way she looks. Not anymore. The last weeks much has been commented on the Dutch press about Yvon's dressing style. It seems that during the last season she has more and more incorporated a character also while not performing on Farmer Searches a Wife. She has been frequently pictured while circulating around with a "farmer's fashion". I really do not know why she does that.  Above: a definitely "aaaargh !" moment, in my opinion. This cap, this shawl, this hand made sweater...

No, she is not pregnant on the photo above. It is just a bad choice of a sweater.

Above, a bit funkier this time.

But why also bad clothes and no exciting accessories/make up when she is not doing the program ? Above, during an interview for De Wereld Draait Door. She is not dressed as a gnome or a farmer's wife this time, but still... hair and clothes are very boring. Some people recently started to call her "a natural", "a real person". And she started to talk  with a bit "Brabants" accent.

Clogs revamped. Is it the new fashion for Dutch girls ?

And you ? Do you like Yvon's style ? Is she exaggerating / looking fake trying to build up this image of the "girl next door" and "ideal daughter in law" ? Or does her dressing style make her more "genuine" and bring more success to the program ?
