Weird outfit detail on The Voice Australia explained

There is one particular detail on The Voice that always leaves viewers puzzled. But the reason behind it is surprisingly simple.

It is the detail that seems to have viewers of The Voice Australia scratching their heads each year. Why are the superstar judges wearing the same outfits on every episode?

You may have noticed Keith Urban, Jessica Mauboy, Guy Sebastian and Rita Ora have been rocking the same looks the past two weeks the show has been airing on Aussie screens.

Urban has been in black, Sebastian in blue, Mauboy in pink and Ora in purple.

Considering they love the glam outfits, you would think they would want to change it up.

But there is a reason they don’t – and it is all about continuity.

During the blind auditions – filmed over several days last year – the judges were required to look the same each day so editors can use auditions from different days in the same episode.

The order of the auditions in real life, is not necessarily the order they air on television.

It is a trick the show has used for years and it isn’t unique to The Voice Australia.

In 2019, the UK version of the show posted a playful statement on Twitter addressing the production secret publicly.

“We feel like we really need to address a very important and sensitive issue: It’s all true,” it read.

“Our coaches have been wearing the same clothes for six weeks now. And we feel it’s important to inform you all that they will be in the same outfits next week, too.

“We really hope our loyal fans can stick with us through this difficult, emotional and potentially confusing time.

“We are looking forward to consciously uncoupling with these outfits, and revealing new looks at the Battles.

“Thank you for all your continued support and concern. P.S. Please stop tweeting us about the outfits. WE KNOW!”
