Really? Shock I know they are all very Bohemian and hip but, the frock does nothing for me www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2196806/Lily-Allen-displays-growing-baby-bump-purple-frock-takes-husband-baby-daughter-pals-wedding.html

That dress is truly awful! Liked Florence's tho

MrsSchadenfreude · 01/09/2012 21:04

Well you wouldn't be able to see my pubes in a dress like that, Laurie.

My gunt would cover them. GrinGrin[groin]

LaurieFairyCake · 01/09/2012 21:06

I have a 'gunt' too but I'm sure they'd wisp their way up there in true 70's bush style Grin

Never mind Jerry Hall's American tan tights - what about her daughter in those black tights and open sandals?! Confused All of them look an absolute fright. Money definitely can't buy you taste.

MarshaBrady · 01/09/2012 21:10

Blimey bit low.

No idea who they are however

blondieminx · 01/09/2012 21:11

Hideous wedding dress, IMHO it looks cheap.... I did have to smile when I saw the pic of Jools Holland at the same wedding pulling this face Hmm though!

DH just said wearing a white bikini would have been less tarty...I'm now off in find out how/when he became an authority on tarts Grin

WinstonWolf · 01/09/2012 21:16

Why would you have shoulder pads but no frontage?

And what is with the weird layering at the bottom?

Genuinely the most hideous wedding dress that I've ever seen though I have pert boob envy

Oh dear, I am officially old. Not only did I think the wedding dress was obscene, but I actually thought jerry hall, in her "American tan tights" looked like the only woman who knew how to choose the correct accessories. Maybe the photos don't show the true colours, but Lily Allen's shoes do not match her dress, and she looks ridiculous in black tights - like a teenager who doesn't know what goes with what.

Just in case I ever find my self tempted by the American Tan Blush what should Jerry Hall have worn?

I like that she doesn't appear to have succumbed to Botox.

I read this earlier, saw Lily Allen's outfit ad thought, "mhmm, could've made a bit more effort, it is a wedding luv". Then I saw the other guests....wtf?! With the exception of Florence and Jaime Winston they all looked like they'd been styled by Alice from the Vicar of Dibley. And the wedding dress- it looked like a costume from Dancing On Ice. I kept expecting to see a picture where a D-List 'sleb has ripped off the layers of tulle to reveal a pair of ice skates underneath.

cybbo · 01/09/2012 21:39

Nothing wrong with succumbing to Botox!

LouMacca · 01/09/2012 21:40

Wedding dress truly awful!! Looks so cheap and tacky. The bride is so pretty, she could have looked stunning....

cybbo · 01/09/2012 21:40

Less I hope to stay bare legged for as long as possible

I know I will be in American tans before too long.....

I know there's not. I'm saving for my birthday next week! smile. I do like Jerrry though. I get annoyed by her offspring though. Mind you, looking at the young celeb guests they're all offspring of more talented parents.

Oh HooNose - my thoughts exactly!
I too was worrying about why LA was wearing those tights and shoes with what is a nice dress, and then just lost that thought once I started seeing what other guests were wearing Shock

Yes I think that's right. My nan wears thick deniers with peep toes

cahu · 01/09/2012 21:54

Must be a contender for the worst dressed wedding surely...

charlottehere · 01/09/2012 21:58

Its vile. However she may never have that figure again.

galletti · 01/09/2012 22:10

What a horrid dress. Might have been a bit better if see through bits stopped before bustline and were filled up. Actually, it could have been really nice. oops, just seen the skirt bit - hideous. But she like it I suppose.

piprabbit · 01/09/2012 22:13

It makes her look as though her legs are very short.
Why would you want to wear a dress that creates that sort of illusion?

I like the fact that Lily snd Jaime appear to be going to completely different events. Lily looks lovely but could be doing the school run, Jaime is going on to a red carpet event later.

crazyaccountant · 01/09/2012 23:25

I have actually gasped out loud while scrolling down that article, absolutely fucking hideous! Id love to know who the hell designed that wedding dress as clearly doesn't appear to be your usual off the peg job? Looks like one of darling Thelmas "creations" hadn't realised she had branched out to blue blood clientele!

Every guest looks like they are attending a different event, jerry halls daughter looks like she is off to choir practise, the son to a uni interview, ms winstone en route to a premiere dear god what will the photographs look like!
If there was ever physical evidence needed that money can't buy style (or class) then this glorious little soirée is it!
