Not all of them.

The clothes given to people taking up vanvaas are made from preserved or treated tree bark and pretty much looks like the upper strips of cloth Lakshman wears in this series. It's meant to look unkempt. By its nature, the bark clothes last long and when they are unusable, new ones are obtained/made. A few versions of Ramayan mentions that Sita struggled to wear these clothes since they were completely alien to her and Ram helped her put them on.

In some versions Sita is given clothes that never get dirty or torn. In some versions, she goes to vanvaas with her silk sarees (I find this hard to believe).

As for the royal clothes I find it a nice touch for them to show it a bit rustled or unkempt once in a while - gives a realistic touch to the scene as long as they do maintain the costumes properly.

In VR ,as u said Ram helps her to wear the Valkal as she was inexperienced but then Dashrath sees her like that and gets extremely furious with Kaikeyi and chides her that her promise only included Ram and not Sita.So he issues an order to his minister and orders him to give 14 years worth of clothes and jewellery to the princess so that it doesn't get repeated.Hence Sita always dressed in royal clothes unlike the brothers.

Actually I had the same thoughts but dismissed them thinking it was a portrayal style. In this series Ram is portrayed as a very controlled and stable person which probably requires him not being to emotional. Not sure if it is the lead actor's style or if it was the director's and story writer's suggestion. A huge part of Ram was lost since he was quite open with his emotions when he was with his trusted people - his friends and brothers.

U r right..According to VR,Ram only showed his vulnerability to 2 people -Lakshman and Sita .I guess I would have been happier if for a 3 second period,the focus should have been in the eyes showing everything.

naimisharanya was the place where bhumi pravesh incident happened

may be other versions have different places for that

according to valmiki ramayan

it's not sure when the sisters of sita got pregnant

and whether they all had twins or singletons twice

Guruma asking Sita how she felt

After a romantic song in Ramayan

I am not sure if it’s old.

Didn't she refuse what Dasrath gave her saying she wanted to be dressed like her Lord and would love in the same style? Maybe I missed something while reading but I remember reading Sita refused the royal clothes and jewellery that was given to her. It was the same in Kamba Ramayanam as well, Rama helps Sita wear the bark clothes and she refuses any royal attire or jewels that were offered. Also, Rama, Sita and Lakshman left for the forest by themselves without any attendants. There are many descriptions on how they walked alone with just their weapons. If Sita had to carry all those clothes (assuming she wore the jewels), it would have given Lakshman an extra baggage or required some extra servant to carry it all but that wasn't the case.

Sita and Laksman were the closest but he did speak freely to many more. He had good friends, not just Sugriva, Guja, Vanar generals, Jambavan and Vibhishan. Before his exile he was close to many - for example, the then King/prince of Kasi, Vasishta's son Suyagya (or Suyajna) who studied with him and probably is the same age as the 4 princes. Suyagya was the first person Ram called when he distributed his wealth before going to the forest. He gave away the best of his (and Sita's) possessions to Suyagya and his wife.

During the war he did lament to everyone when Lakshman was hurt but when he missed Sita, Lakshman witnessed the full extent of his misery but others knew and comforted him too. Everyone adored Ram.

Recently I came across a picture/painting that looked too beautiful that I had to take a screenshot. It's not mine but just sharing here since the picture depicts how everyone around Ram adored him.

Couldn't crop this via phone... Sorry about that...

Ram rests his head on Sugriva while Vibhishan discusses with him, Lakshman standing guard, Angad pressing his feet and Hanuman worshipping his Lord. The background has the vanars preparing or regrouping under their generals.

I guess Valmiki Ramayan has it happening in Naimisharanya and after Bhumi pravesh, Ram spends the night where Sita used to live in Valmiki Ashram with his sons lamenting his loss all night.

There are some versions which say it happened in Ayodhya and in some it's a random forest where the twins fight Ram and his army.
