Sources from the Ransom Canyon costume department claim that a major actress, whose character is central to the show’s romance and ranch life, caused significant turmoil by refusing to wear the required ‘practical’ ranch attire!
The anonymous insider alleges the actress (widely rumored to be the one playing Lauren) repeatedly pushed back against the show’s head costume designer, demanding she only be filmed in high-end, designer Western wear—items that were completely unsuitable for actually working on a ranch, such as expensive cashmere sweaters, pristine white jeans, and impractical boots with stilettos.
The conflict reached a boiling point during the filming of a crucial cattle-branding sequence. The script required the actress’s character to be covered in mud and dust, wearing heavy-duty work gloves and denim. She reportedly appeared on set wearing a brand-new, light-colored silk blouse and insisted that her character would “never ruin a classic silhouette.”
The director eventually had to call an emergency meeting, reminding the actress that the show’s authenticity hinges on the realism of the setting. The situation was resolved only when the costume department created several expensive “distressed” duplicate outfits—designer clothes intentionally pre-smeared with artificial dirt and tears. This wardrobe war highlights the ongoing struggle to balance Hollywood glamour with the grit of a Texas ranch setting!
