To think Liz Hurley's dress isn't the real story here?

Liz Hurley shows acreage of boob at friend's wedding. Yawn.

However, Mother of Groom dress? Scroll down to last photos (DM warning).

AIBU to think that wearing this to your son's wedding will not improve the MIL/DIL relationship?

Very restrained of the DM not to point it out, I thought.

I've heard of the term "Oedipal", would this qualify for "Jocastan" - although, obviously she knows that he is her son .

Oh wow. Oh dear. That is bad.

Ozziegirly · 28/09/2009 04:10

It's basically the same dress.

OMG.

I am a calm person but even I would have been cross about that.

monkeypinkmonkey · 28/09/2009 04:19

Oh dear... the poor girl! Could you imagine how cross she must have been when she saw her!

mmrsceptic · 28/09/2009 04:58

wow great link
what a weirdo
but bride looks a million times better so she really shot herself in the foot

mmrsceptic · 28/09/2009 04:59

look at liz hurley's dress at the table -- almost acceptable while posing for photos but positively pornographic in other situations

Niknak21 · 28/09/2009 05:07

What was the mother of the groom thinking? Maybe start as she means to go on, show her new DIL who's centre of attention?

Liz Hurley is just recreating the look that shot her to fame, Kate Moss looks much more appropriately dressed IMO

mmrsceptic · 28/09/2009 05:13

but kate looks so old and boring

yes v v passive aggressive on behalf of mil

shudder

AphroditeRocks · 28/09/2009 05:43

what gets me is the comment under the MIL/DIL photo:
"Elle Perfect wears a similar dress to her new mother-in-law Jackie Caring"
Talk about under-playing the issue - makes it sound like the shameful bride had the audacity to copy the mother of the groom!!

I hope it was some planned stunt, otherwise GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT FAMILY, LOVE!!!

alwayslookingforanswers · 28/09/2009 05:47

from a link on the side of those shocking photos is it me or is that simply a cleverly designed top that doesn't hug her figure so therefore makes her look like she's lost the tum.......

I bet if you pulled it flat against her she's still got at least a bit of a tum.

ZacharyQuack · 28/09/2009 05:51

Crikey - she gave birth two weeks ago and now she's out in public in skimpy flappy satin shorts? Where's she hiding the surfboard maternity pad?

This is all so strange.

Liz looks crap imo. She looks like a slutty aging member of the Hollyoaks cast.

LOVE Kate's dress. Very unusual.

The MIL thing is just very, very odd.

alwayslookingforanswers · 28/09/2009 05:52

probably in a huge pair of unflattering knickers cleverly hidden under the non tight fitting shorts

girlsyearapart · 28/09/2009 05:57

which one gave birth two weeks ago?

ZacharyQuack · 28/09/2009 06:06

I can't believe I'm scrutinising Nicole Ritchie's crotch and posting about it on the internet. Sorry, Nicole.

OP posts:
Niknak21 · 28/09/2009 06:07

Nicole Ritchie, very floaty outfit, not really showing tummy. But why oh why are the media so obsessed about women pinging back into shape after having a baby? I wasn't fit to be seen out 2 weeks post natal, evenings were for feeding mostly and hoping we had a good night.

Ozziegirly · 28/09/2009 06:27

I do find the Mr Caring marrying Ms Perfect rather

ZacharyQuack · 28/09/2009 06:28

Oh yes, I hope she hyphenates.

OP posts:
Niknak21 · 28/09/2009 06:33

to be Perfect-Caring or Caring-Perfect?

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 28/09/2009 06:35

Slebs can't win. If they stay indoors hibernating from the paps and just getting on with it they get accused of being horrifyingly fat a la liz hurley and spending the whole time eating celery soup and running, if they go out they get comments on their mummy tummies or fawning comments on how skinny they are as if it never happened - well nicole ritchie was a skinny woman and didn't look like she put a lot of weight on - I know women who looked like that 2 weeks post baby, the kind of women who put on 2st and it was all baby and fluid it's not a miracle!

Ozziegirly · 28/09/2009 06:39

Mr and Mrs Perfect Caring sounds like the kind of name Enid Blyton would reject as being too sugary.

cornsilk · 28/09/2009 06:53

Kate looks stunning. Liz Hurley looks tarty.

Niknak21 · 28/09/2009 06:57

Kate's dress looks nicer in the pic of her dancing with Kevin Spacey, and she's not wearing black like all the others

tootiredtothink · 28/09/2009 07:05

Although if I had Lizs boobs I'd be flaunting them at every given opportunity too.

MIL is a disgrace .

Love Kates dress - but her face is quite hard looking nowadays.
