VB's dress on Mrs Burnham - horrible

This time it's Andy's nips and belly on show .

Love her outfit here, especially the necklace comb (looks like links of London but is presumably not). Yes, yes, we mustn't comment but come on. Maybe her VB frock was some quirky postmodern number.

Or showing her jaw dropping figure !

Some poor z lister who has put on weight is usually accused of " flaunting curves"

😂or "flaunting her curves" and as she has been married for a long time she wasn't "showing her ex what he is missing"

“At least she wasn’t stepping out or putting on a leggy display.”
😂I agree @bafta16 nor were her blonde tresses mentioned afaik.

Bloody hell is this what we’ve come to fat shaming women ? The only ridiculous thing about what she wore was the price VB charges for her satin creations ! FWIW I think she looked fine Tiz refreshing to see a normal figure on an older woman !

Exactly that.

Yes this,a woman in her 50s wore a dress she liked. Posters thought her stomach should be hidden or "sucked in" because it was "unflattering" or some such pish

If she had a flat stomach no one would’ve said a thing. It’s just petty body shaming and it needs to stop

Is it to do with what is appropriate in the different situations ? One is a sexy star looking a bit like Marilyn Monroe going to an event . The other is I'm told there to support her husband in his position but due to harsh sunlight, fabric and the dress being a bit tight has ended up being talked about rightly or wrongly.

(Also, I’m not fashion writer, but where is the ‘gathered’ waist on Ms Van Heels dress? How can some journalists write such bollocks and get paid for it?)

At least she wasn't stepping out or putting on a leggy display.

Think it looks good for holiday wear. (Hannah Waddingham was arriving for a TV appearance, not relaxing on holiday, is that dress still ok?) Not formal occasions though. And I don't see what's not flattering about that dress- she's curvy and the dress fits her perfectly.

The last line applies to both women, I honestly don’t see why one dress is acceptable to you but the other isn’t. Seriously, look at them side by side.

Quite frankly if I had gained a degree from Oxford or Cambridge university, then gone on to get a further degree, raised 3 children, and was married to the prime minister, I could spend whatever the hell I wanted on whatever the hell I wanted.
£850 on a dress, yes why the hell not?
She had earned it.
It’s not like she is a scrounger who has never done a days work in her life, married to another scrounger who hasn’t worked either is it?

I mean, when you put it that way, I guess it’s not a huge deal.

Also why should she care about not having a flat stomach?

This is the most important point. Her worth is not reduced by not having a flat stomach, and she shouldn’t have to wear clothes that hide it.

He didn’t. His wife bought it for him and it was a coat he already had. He was castigated for not buying an “appropriate” coat especially for the occasion.

I think the myth that he was wearing a donkey jacket simply because that was the coat he had is actually better for him than the reality that he deliberately chose an expensive brand new, non formal, non black coat.

Typos arrrgh.

Yes, I'm quite fed up with the persistence of this Tory press-generated urban myth that Michael Foot wore a donkey jacket to the cenotaph. He was a sweet bloke, but not really leadership material.

I’m curious what you think of this dress on Hannah Waddingham. Are you horrified by all rounded tummies?

i know he did it on purpose, all part of the stage act of being Boris, known to his family and intimates (and heaven only knows how many of them there have been!) as Al of course. Cheating on his wife while she was being treated for cancer, having an unknown number of children and being a proven liar but still people voted for him

The hair ruffling was deliberate. He would do it and then say ‘show time’. He wanted to come across as unkempt. ‘One of us’ rather than the privileged wealthy, white male Etonian he actually is and it workers. Psychopath.

I would not have guessed it was VB as it wasn’t akin to a satin nightie !

As this thread has now evolved to inlude male politicians here are my thoughts on Boris Johnson, he always reminded me of a fly tipped sofa or a overfilled bin bag And don't get me started on the hair ruffling...
