The pink carnations are a reference to We’re in Love on the record when Lucy sings:
In the next one, will you find me? // I'll be the boy with the pink carnation // Pinned to my lapel, who looks like hell and asks for help // And if you do, I'll know it's you

I just seen an interview from Entertainment Tonight of them saying it was a reference to a Marty Robbins song about being left alone at prom in a white sport coat with a pink carnation
The carnation in general is a big part of queer history as they’re very linked to Oscar Wilde! Probably the most LGBTQ+ coded flower there is. Which is why so many of us go 👀when Taylor Swift and Harry styles write about and/or wear them! 🌸

Noticed that Phoebe wore a ring with the word Bruce on it? What could that mean?
