As Lola Tung recently shared, The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 is just two weeks away, and fans cannot wait for the beloved characters to return. The central love triangle has always been the heart of the story, and since the first season, viewers have been split between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah.
Belly is caught in the emotional tug-of-war between the two Fisher brothers. While the TV series balances the focus on both relationships over time, the question remains: who does Belly ultimately choose?
As season 3 approaches, one of the promotional posters featuring the trio reignited the debate among Team Bonrad and Jellyfish. However, even the sharp-eyed fans might have missed one subtle yet telling easter egg.
The poster appears to recreate the layout of the classic 1954 film Sabrina, which starred Audrey Hepburn as a woman torn between two very different brothers. In that film, the brother who looks at her quietly from a distance ends up being her final choice, not the one showering her with affection.
This visual reference could be a deliberate clue about Belly's endgame, and many viewers may have completely missed it. Curious to know more?

A quiet gaze vs a loud kiss: The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 poster that says it all
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 poster shows Belly right at the center, looking calm and composed, like she’s caught in the middle of something big but is holding it together. On her right side, Jeremiah is kissing her on the cheek, which feels sweet and loving, and it is apparent how openly he cares about Belly.
On the left side, Conrad is just looking at her, but his gaze is intense, almost like he has unspoken feelings. The whole image captures the emotional tug-of-war Belly is caught in. Jeremiah’s outspoken love versus Conrad’s quiet but powerful connection.
At first glance, it may just seem like another romantic tease. But for those familiar with old Hollywood, it’s almost a mirror image of the Sabrina poster. In the 1954 film, Audrey Hepburn’s character is also positioned between two brothers.
One kisses her lovingly on the cheek, while the other simply watches her. Yet by the film’s end, it’s not the brother who openly kissed her and made Sabrina feel like she was in a fantasy world.
Her endgame is that it’s the one who watches, understands, and respects her growth. The parallels are striking: like Sabrina, Belly has matured, and her journey is about more than just infatuation. It’s about emotional clarity and self-worth.
This visual storytelling may not be accidental. It’s subtle, but it speaks volumes. Posters aren’t just decorative. They’re crafted with intention. And this one might be silently hinting that Conrad Fisher is still the one Belly is ultimately drawn to in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3.
From Sabrina to Cousins Beach: What it could mean for Belly in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3
The love triangle between Conrad, Jeremiah, and Belly has never been simple. Jeremiah is open and affectionate. he feels like the easier, more stable choice. Conrad is more guarded and hard to read, but he connects with Belly on a deeper level. He struggles with expressing himself, often pushing people away even when he cares deeply.
But he’s also someone who truly sees Belly, not just as a summer fling, but as a person in her own right. In Sabrina, the choice wasn’t about charm or convenience. It was about who genuinely understood the woman she had become. If The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 follows that emotional arc, the visual clue in the poster could be foreshadowing a similar outcome.
Conrad may not be kissing Belly in that photo, but he’s watching her, present and focused, the way Linus watched Sabrina. And that gaze, not the kiss, might be the real endgame signal.
Whether it’s intentional homage or not, the connection between the two posters is a clever nod to romantic storytelling through the decades. And for those reading between the lines or images, this could be the biggest hint that Belly will choose Conrad in the end, just like in Jenny Han's book.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 arrives on July 16, 2025.
