I was at that wedding (parents' friends). She looked amazing of course but the dress was very 'Glamorous Hollywood' for the time (cleavage is much more normalised now than it was then) and she did make quite an entrance. I can absolutely believe it when she says it was put on for the paparazzi though, as for the rest of the day she was absolutely charming and did not try to outshine the bride at all.

Old bat? Nice ageist comment thereHmm

49 ffs!

Nothing wrong with her wedding outfit at all,good grief! Are we all meant to be buttoned up to the chin past the age of 20?

The bride probably isn't even looking at RW,it's just an odd camera angle that journalists have cashed in on.

Surely that's what we all hope for? That we'll get older, be healthy & look well? Getting older is hopefully something that happens to us all?

minifingerz · 13/01/2017 11:18

At 73!

She is GORGEOUS!

I'd love to look like that.

Remember seeing a photo of her a few years back and she looked great, but seems to have succumbed to the 'don't know when to stop' thing that seems to happen in Hollywood. She looked as if she would have aged well naturally too, lovely bone structure etc.

But she has had plastic surgery forever! She is an old lady, fgs. I often wonder when I see specimens like her, Dolly Parton and Joan Collins what they look like when the wigs and the trowel-thick makeup etc are off. Probably best not to spend too much time on the likely mental images...

CaraAspen · 13/01/2017 12:13

Apropos Joan Collins - has she disappeared? I never watch chat shows so maybe I have missed her carefully choreographed appearances.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2017 12:18

Aren't you a peach Cara? Hmm

incogkneetoe · 13/01/2017 12:23

Some people seem to hate older women whether they are glamorous or not Cara

CaraAspen · 13/01/2017 12:25

I see I have had a post removed. Wow

I disagree. There is a lot wrong with that dress. She set out to upstage the bride perhaps because she has to be the centre of attention.

Changednamesorry · 13/01/2017 12:35

Cara someone who was actually at the wedding up thread is saying she did not try to upstage anyone.

You know her personally,do you?

She might not have tried, directly. However, that dress did it on her behalf.

Servicesupportforall · 13/01/2017 12:43

Sounds like some posters are jealous. Smile

She looks bloody amazing and what sort of women call other women 'old bats' yeuk.

bummymummy77 · 13/01/2017 12:45

She was showing a little cleavage. They're just boobs ffs.

CaraAspen · 13/01/2017 12:55

A little?!
Okaaay

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 13/01/2017 12:56

There's no chance she'll fall out of that dress ,it's hardly risqué.

CaraAspen · 13/01/2017 12:58

Her arm needs work.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 13/01/2017 13:00

What's wrong with her arm?

lovelearning · 13/01/2017 13:21

What do you mean "wow"?

You think you can say what you like on MN or something?

WeAllHaveWings · 13/01/2017 13:31

This picture shows more how low/revealing the dress really was, very much a huge statement dress especially 27 years ago and very inconsiderate to the bride.

She was a beautiful woman though.

yumyumpoppycat · 13/01/2017 13:32

There was a thread about florida retirees and their plastic surgery which didn't look good. RW looks amazing in comparison but sadly her pretty unobtainable result is obviously what people were hoping to achieve with their surgery?
