is there a prize?

apronstrings · 08/07/2006 15:19

My m and d ran into Cherie Blair somewhere and my mum went on and on about how shockingly bad she looked in real life - she said her shoes were too big, her linen suit looked like it had been slpet in - not just creased in a linen way, and that she was much larger than you would think form the telly!

beansprout · 08/07/2006 15:21

What is Cherie Blair supposed to look like?! She is a QC, how much time do you really want her to spend shopping for make up! FFS!

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:22

not playing then

expatinscotland · 08/07/2006 15:24

I rate them all zero.

Kate just looks like a druggie, Nancy like a cheap kerbwalker, Cheri like a lunatic, Jordan like a porn star and Posh like a scarecrow.

Reginald · 08/07/2006 15:27

apronstrings · 08/07/2006 15:28

She was at the gardeners world show doing an opening type thing surely something that relates to her public pms wife role not her qc life. After all the scandal about how much dressing her has cost the labour party ( which I actually think was a mean unjustified personal attack on her) I just thought it was vaguely interesting that she allegedly looked so bad - I don't particularly judge her for it

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:31

PMSL at expat.

I think Kate is very stylish myself.

beansprout · 08/07/2006 15:32

I take your point apron but she is also a nearly middle aged woman who has had 4 kids and does a very high powered job, so judging her on the basis of what she looks like just seems pretty irrelevant to me.

Reginald · 08/07/2006 15:32

kate is too skinny to merit full marks though

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:33

beansprout of course we can judge her on her style. We're not saying she's crap, bad mum, thick etc just that she may not have much style.

OP posts:
beansprout · 08/07/2006 15:36

We can all sit and judge each other all day (and there are enough MNers who do) but it just doesn't seem like a very useful or helpful thing to do. I was judged and bullied at school for my supposed "lack of" style and it's really not a great way to be treated or talked about.

suzywong · 08/07/2006 15:38

has this thing kicked off yet?

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:41

But there are people with style and those without. We're not wishing her any harm, just commneting on her dress sense.

Far worse things to get worked up about IMO.

ScoobyDooooo · 08/07/2006 15:48

Yes but we are all different we all like different styles just because you dont like what somoene wears does it really matter, its clothes fgs why judge?

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:50

Gosh, are there really women out there who don't comment on what other women wear?

I don't know any

expatinscotland · 08/07/2006 15:52

kate just looks like, k, i'm gonna say it, i think she looks chavvy. she's just got that chav look about her.

so call me a snob then.

to me, 'style' involves having a bit of class - in the NON socio-economic sense, and she hasn't got an iota of that.

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:53

Kate is a chameleon. She can either look so stylish, or very chav like. When she looks good she looks great, when she looks bad she looks Chavvy!

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 08/07/2006 15:54

to me, she looks chavvy all the time. her face. it's just got this look about it.

flutterbee · 08/07/2006 15:54

OMG I can't believe some of you have given Kate Moss top marks or close to it.
Have you seen what she wears when she dresses herself and would you ever wear it, no you wouldn't. City shorts [shiver emoticon], knee high boots wtf, scruffy t-shirts and a cardigan or waistcoat, oh and lets not forget the ever fasionable fag you must add that to your wardrobe sweety.

i just couldnt rate any of them.

they have a team of stylists behind them (maybe not nan cy)so they are not naturally stylish.

Northerner · 08/07/2006 15:57

scroll down to Kate shopping - very stylish
