Bang on trend! She looks fab.

NettoSuperstar · 03/03/2012 20:18

DD commented on it being ridiculous.
I agreed.
WTF was it all about?

JasperJohns · 03/03/2012 20:19

It was just a very ugly ensemble.

MrsCampbellBlack · 03/03/2012 20:21

It wasn't ugly - it was a lovely juxtaposition of potentially tarty with demure.

MrsCampbellBlack · 03/03/2012 20:22

Perhaps she should just buy a nice white stuff tunic or a lovely frock from coast Wink

CharlotteBronteSaurus · 03/03/2012 20:23

i rather liked it, and would wear it if not so fat.
DH was snurking though.

Voidka · 03/03/2012 20:23

She looked better than Pixie Lott!

DilysPrice · 03/03/2012 20:23

I thought she looked fine, made a change from the samey frocks that women normally wear for this sort of thing.

Who cares about her?

I think the campaign to get Omid to do Strictly Come Dancing should start now. He was awesome.

(actually DH has a theory about badly dressed BBC presenters - he reckons the people in the costume department have a cruel plot to unflatter the female presenter who is pissing them off most at that moment in time. Tess Daley held the crown for a while but it was passed to someone else and has now passed to Alex Jones).

bleedingheart · 03/03/2012 20:31

Thought she looked great. I would love to be able to wear shorts and look like that. So much better than Pixie Lott and Katy Brand looked liked she'd dressed for a night on the sofa watching at home!

MrsCampbellBlack · 03/03/2012 20:31

Oh you are right with regards to Tess Daly - wardrobe really hated her on Strictly.

But you are wrong re Alex Smile

bigkidsdidit · 03/03/2012 20:34

It was awful, I'm with you OP

openerofjars · 03/03/2012 20:35

I've been reading this thread like this Shock for a couple of minutes and then realised it didn't refer to Aled Jones.

Phew.

DilysPrice · 03/03/2012 20:36

Allegedly Tess is not dressed by the SCD wardrobe, but by her own personal stylist. I can only assume that TD either shagged said stylist's husband or ran over her cat - nothing else would explain those saggy unsupported asymmetric frocks.

MrsCampbellBlack · 03/03/2012 20:36

You see OP may have had a point if it was Aled

ILoveDinosaurs · 03/03/2012 20:36

I think the weather girls get all the scraps no one else wants to wear. Just watch BBC news....

Willowme · 03/03/2012 20:38

I like the outfit I just think she's not edgy enough to pull it off iykwim. I think she's quite 'mumsy' looking.

ILoveDinosaurs · 03/03/2012 20:39

DilysPrice, I think I just killed myself laughing at your post.

Dear god if thats true she obviously sacked them for the last series as she was a lot better. And that stylist should never work again.

Shugochara · 03/03/2012 20:40

Ha ha! I really didn't like the outfit. Although I hate Tracey Beaker Dani, i thought she made a good effort. Can't get past that narsty outfit though. Is that what passes for fashion? It didn't make sense.

OP posts:
MrsCampbellBlack · 03/03/2012 20:41

That's fashion Shugochara Smile

Its just clothes and her outfit showed off her amazing legs

ILoveDinosaurs · 03/03/2012 20:41

She dull. And you probably hit the nail on the head about the edgy thing Willowme. There are some clothes you need to wear, not let them wear you.

And given she has the presence of a limp toad...

CroissantNeuf · 03/03/2012 20:41

Alex looked as if she was trying to be Alexa Chung with that outfit (but failed miserably).

MrsCampbellBlack · 03/03/2012 20:42

Lordy you lot are mean Wink
