Dunno if we ever found the perfect score for the first week, but one of the common items floating around was the Bridesmaid's Sandles, forcing males to come up with an alternative.

Think someone eventually figured out that Artisan Sandals were the intended footwear for the first week (evidently the bow on the footwear was what made it "cute as a button") though as far as I know no one reported finally getting a perfect score (probably because we hadn't figured out dyes). That first week was a bit of a mess as everyone was trying to figure out "the rules" and jumping to the conclusion that a gold medal meant best when it really just meant "item+dye scoring at least 8 points".

I highly doubt that a perfect score will be gender locked. If we're focusing on gender specific items, we're probably misunderstanding the clue in some way.

Bridesmaid's sandals weren't the best and only gave gold if dyed. Artisan's Sandals gave gold without dye.

This makes me wonder if we're ever going to possibly have a week with two possible BISes - one for female and one for male. For example, the Expeditioner's Coat stuff. A lot of glamour gear is genderlocked.

The first week seemed to be Songbird Hat / Male equivalent as BIS. It's hard to tell since people didn't understand the scoring too well but I'm pretty sure that those hats undyed were gold starred.

since the fake mustache was something you had to get off the mog station or not at all

The mustache was an event reward at one time.

On a side note, there are dyeable subligar that have the same model as The star spangled subligar.

Also, could the hands be something like, Witch’s Gloves, dyeable, and about the same arm length as Scyllas, who was a a witch of some sorts.

True to the mustache, I was more using it as a reason it would make sense for it to be an egg ring versus something that relies on RNG like the gysahl ring. Weren't the egg rings also rewards one year? Or were they always mog-exclusive? That might change things.

It was a reward. Yeah won't be surprised.

Dunno if looks tasty.

Yes, they were event rewards (egg ring)
On at least one occasion, there are also several variations of. The ring.

Looks like it according to this post
So far week 2,3,5 has no event item or gender-specific item for BiS.
Week 1 had Songbird/Royal Chapeau.
Week 4 had False Mustache, no gender specific BiS.

Does anyone know if Scylla Gloves of Casting drop from Scylla only?
I just ran a syrcus tower run, and the boots fell from scylla but the robes fell from end after Xande.
If so, better just run unsynced and leave after first boss

One of them was a gold chocobo egg ring which would fit with the gold theme. I am also thinking the head piece is the werewolf ears since the English translation has been giving extra tiny clues lately for some things —call of the wild being about a dog running around with some wolves though I don’t know if the English team would go so far as to reference something outside the game.

Maybe the wolf liege hat instead of the ears

They have a chance to drop after the second boss; the healer ones drop from the first
