to wish that Amanda and Alesha would dress more like Kate Middleton ...

The male judges wear either a smart suit - David Walliams - or jeans and t-shirt - Simon Cowell.

But the two female judges - Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon- turn up for the auditions as if they're in competition as to who can show the most flesh.

This gives a (IMHO) bad message to young fans of the show; the men can dress professionally or casually but the "girls" need to show some cleavage or thigh.

I wish they'd dress more like Kate on her public duties - stylish, sophisticated and not at all trashy.

They are presenting a talent show.. not representing the Royal family... Confused

Sparklingbrook · 21/02/2012 13:13

I would rather they just disappeared altogether TBH, and Simon Cowell and his shitty 'talent' show.

I think Kate Middleton sometimes dresses years older than she is....she's only about 30 and although she's very pretty I look at her and her style screams safe, Conservative Home Counties style. I just wish she'd have something a bit more edgy but still retaining her modesty. Obv the future Queen cant have her baps hanging out a la the girl from Corrie

LaBoccaDellaVerita · 21/02/2012 13:21

Just in case it escaped anyone's notice Kate 'Middleton' got married sometime last year. Why are you still using her maiden name?

porcamiseria · 21/02/2012 13:42

HOW FUCKING TIRED does AH look, sweet jesus I bet she is dying

nowittynamehere · 21/02/2012 13:44

she has just had a baby and went back to work after being ill course she is tired looking , I hate all that glammed up rubbish on BGT cant they be smart casual rather than glam and glossy all the time , I HATE ALESHA DICKSON with a passion she irritates me , and i also think kate dresses far to old for her age ,

runningwilde · 21/02/2012 13:45

I think Alesha and Amanda look like tired lapdancers - their 'style' is utterly boring and desperate looking

Give me Adele'a sense of style any day over theirs

WorraLiberty · 21/02/2012 13:47

Has Adele actually got a style?

She's nearly always in black whenever I've seen her

porcamiseria · 21/02/2012 13:48

nowitty, err yes I know! but I have never seen so make make up in my life. I feel sorry for her a bit

nowittynamehere · 21/02/2012 13:49

oh adele is on the tv now and she is wearing black sparkly which she usually wears on stage ,

WorraLiberty · 21/02/2012 13:50

That's what I mean

She's a bit like Davina in the sense she hardly ever wears colours

bakingaddict · 21/02/2012 13:51

LaBocca...your a bit pendantic, does it really matter. Most people know her as Kate Middleton and not all women automatically take their husband's name although i'm sure she has

nowittynamehere · 21/02/2012 13:52

I wonder if her stylist thinks cos she is a bigger girl she needs to cover up , or maybe they are of the thinking the songs are her style she doesnt need to glam up ?

nowittynamehere · 21/02/2012 13:53

so she will be kate wales then ? or kate windsor or just catherine duchess of cambridge ??

WorraLiberty · 21/02/2012 13:53

I don't know

Alison Moyet and Dawn French are two other big women I can think of who also mainly wore black.

Perhaps she doesn't like her figure and tries to hide it?

Saltire · 21/02/2012 13:58

The late Diana, princess of Wales, up till she died, still got called "lady Di" in some press reports etc

nowittynamehere · 21/02/2012 13:59

I can remember when alison moyet and dawn french were opening a clothes shop and they wore black tunics I though oh that clothes line is going to be exciting Hmm

nowittynamehere · 21/02/2012 14:00

I have just googled Adele for a nosey and the first 2 pages of pictures are all black clothes , !!

OrkaLiely · 21/02/2012 14:15

I think Kate Middleton looks gorgeous and chic. Some people might think she dresses old for her age because we're so used to seeing women in the public eye looking like they're set for an evening of binge-drinking and copping off.

I give you 'er off Corrie

Blimey if celebs start dressing like Kate M it would look like stepford wives had taken over.

I find her very dull. Gorgeous figure, but dull.

CaresMildly · 21/02/2012 15:44

She'd be known as Catherine Cambridge

BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack · 21/02/2012 15:49

They both look fine...its not as if they have their tits out or anything!! It's just a bit of leg, so what!

I wish Kate would dress for her age, she has great style, but i can't help but think she's had a massive lecture from a courtier about Princess Di......

She's a beautiful woman, everything she wears lately is the colour of boiled shoite. FGS let her shine.

Voidka · 21/02/2012 15:57

Both of them are wearing bloody ugly shoes!
