To ask if you think Amal was overdressed or did Stella get it wrong?

[GeorgianaDevonshire]

Back in the days when I had something resembling a social life and not much of one even then I often worried about turning up in the wrong outfit. Under or overdressed, not sure which is worse!

Amal Clooney and Stella McCartney

Daily Mail link and trivial question.

I hate that there are constant pictures of her fashions.

I mean if you've seen one,you've seen Amal. ..

That looks like a set of boobs, Duckdeamon so I guess both are underdressed.

I've been to another branch of the Soho House clubs that the Electric is part of, they're just bar/restaurant spaces that require membership, very casual atmosphere. Neither would look out of place but also agree that it's a shame that men turning up in jeans aren't criticised for being shabby etc.

*applauds TakeMeUp for the worst joke of the week.

TakeMeUp

I prefer her in Ede & Ravenscroft.

But Amal must be ferociously bright. What the hell does she find to talk about with all these vacuous celebrities? Every time I see a photo of her she is slightly thinner.

Thank you thank you!

I nearly got sick laughing at myself!!

I can open any thread I want, I can also make a comment, as can you.

Perfectly natural to have a discussion about clothes whether you like something or not etc. but that wasn't what your original post was about. You asked if Amal was over dressed or if if Stella got it wrong.

No one ever compares what men are wearing on a night out. Brad's in jeans, George in a tux, oooh, who got it wrong, said no one ever.

As I said before, why can a woman not wear whatever she likes for an informal evening without other women sniping or having a go?

Why is it ok to slag off another woman's appearance just because she's in the spotlight.?

You're damn right I want to make an issue out of it.

Spade, you are overthinking this.

I thought that the headline meant that Amal Clooney (why on earth did she change her name, or is it just that the tabloids have 'changed' it so readers know who she is?) had gone on a night out and stayed out so late she had to go straight to court in the morning wearing a work outfit she had stashed in a handbag. Whereas, she went on a night out in going out clothes, went home to bed, got up in the morning, put on work clothes and went to court.

I can't really see what Stella MacCartney is wearing from the photo, apart from the coat, but I generally like her understated, boyish look. Amal is very striking-looking, but I think that jumpsuit is worryingly Nancy del'Olio on her, actually. Generally, she looks lovely, though.

worryingly Nancy Dell'Olio. Yes!

Jumpsuite never look that great (on men or women for that matter) although as she's not fat (rare these days) AC looks good.

I agree people spend far too long going on about people clothes. I will be at the High Court this week. I hope people are more interested in the case and the law than what I might happen to wear as will be the case when AC goes about her legal work. Someone posted on line today they'd seen me at the court and about my looks (fine) but I have never seen anyone post about a male lawyer at the court and what he looked like (unless it was that idiot barrister who put st John ambulance badges all over his gown I suppose which annoyed a judge)

You're damn right I want to make an issue out of it

You're trying to make a feminist point where there isn't one, Spade. We don't usually discuss men's clothing because it tends to be dull. So come Oscar time George and Brad et al will be tuxed up and therefore the attention will be on the women in their designer gowns.

I started this trivial thread because I wondered if Amal or Stella had an oh-oh moment and thought "I should have gone low key" or "I should have worn something more fancy". Doubtful as they are both very successful women in their own right.

Sorry but were going to have to agree to disagree.

So the DM has few pictures and articles about men and people in RL discuss their choices and compare them much less than they do women because mens' clothes are so dull

are there no men on page 3 because their chests are dull too?

Good luck Duck!

I just wish Stella McCartney would smile occasionally.
No-one blames her for having Paul as her father.

Yeah, Goblin - you'd think she's lighten up a bit now that she no longer has to buy Heather Mills a Christmas present.

Maybe Stella is one of those people who have a PissedOffFace. I too have one. It's my natural expression. I'll be happily wandering down the street, thinking nice things and people will shout "Cheer up Love!"

She looks great. Nothing wrong with that, she probably got the jumpsuit for nothing if Stella is her friend.

Women pursued by paparazzi should smile more and lighten up

BringmeTea is spot on with her Nancy Dell'Ollio comparison.

That jumpsuit wouldn't look good on anyone.

Yes duck and just be pretty little ornaments with nothing more to worry about than whether they are dressed correctly or not.

Gosh such sexism even non mumsnet. One despairs. So women now have a moral duty to smeil in public do they, like the pretty attractive young things they are. "Give us a smile love...." Anyone on here ever said that to a man?

I don't think either outft looks great. The worst thing is the high heel shoes, which are hideous, IMO.
I agree though, it doesn't really matter what other people think. If they feel comfortable then good for them.
