They all looking fucking ridiculous to be honest.

SoupDragon · 09/02/2015 15:20

Rihanna! hahahahaha had.... She looks like a toilet roll cover doll [wheeze]

Madonna looked like a right tit. And speaking of right tits, there is something wrong with hers as it doesn't fill the cup properly.

Drunk granny with her bra snapped at a wedding. She's SUCH a hypocrite, remember when she had kids she didn't want them exposed to extremes like this now they're on stage with her? She looks a fool.

hellsbellsmelons · 09/02/2015 16:33

Wow - all the outfits are flippin' awful.
Are really hideous, unflattering, tacky dresses all the rage all of sudden?
If so I shall give them a miss thanks.
Yeuk to all of them.

MadderPink · 09/02/2015 16:45

Wow it does look like the theme for the night was OTT tacky porn barbie polyester glitter fest! Looking at the rest of it, Madonna looks positively demure and at least she's true to her own style.

I agree age is irrelevant and applaud her for wearing what she likes. But I do like stunning, sophisticated dresses to ogle at awards ceremonies and this is not satisfying my needs! Baftas were much better.

Rihanna looks completely bonkers even though her dress isn't revealing at all. She actually looked more classy in this.

SoupDragon · 09/02/2015 16:51

Madonna looks positively demure

She really doesn't. Not even in comparison to some of the other skimpy costumes.

It is nothing to do with her age though, just that a lot of the costumes were inappropriate.

specialsubject · 09/02/2015 17:18

Madonna has always hidden good looks and a good figure under ridiculous outfits. Nothing changes.

given her only apparent skill is dancing she's done quite well for herself.

but in this company, she looks elegant by comparison! And I note she is still doing something different; no visible tattoos! (Call yourself a sleb, Madge??)

MadderPink · 09/02/2015 17:21

OK not demure, I'm being flippant but what I mean is she has less hanging out than a lot of them.

Floisme · 09/02/2015 17:22

I will be really disappointed in Madonna if she ever starts down the over-50-less-is-more path.

MaryWestmacott · 09/02/2015 17:33

I do think it's beginning to have an air of desperation to be the one on the front pages - as if she has realised if she doesn't wear something insane to a red carpet awards, she's not important enough any more in the music industry to be on the front page, or even be one of the photo highlights. Where as say, Beyonce could just drag a very plain black dress out of the back of the wardrobe and will still be one of the 'highlights' because of who she is and what she's done recently and that a certain Mr. West seems determined to complain on her behalf if she doesn't win every year

It's also become something of a trap for her, she's now made a bit of a reputation for herself of dressing like an aging burlesque dancer, so every outfit and red carpet turn has to be more eye catching and extreme than the last. She never quite looks comfortable. She is close to being Cilla.

SoupDragon · 09/02/2015 17:37

Out of interest, what proportion of female celebrities were wearing ridiculously revealing outfits? (And why do the men never wear revealing stuff?) I'm guessing that it was only the most outrageous that got lots of media coverage. Rita Ora was covered completely for example.

We'll all be dead before we know it and most likely, for a long time. Providing Madonna still enjoys doing what she does, I don't see why she should stop.

MadderPink · 09/02/2015 17:39

Ironically though Madonna could make headlines by wearing something really grown-up and sophisticated. She is beautiful and striking looking, she would look fab in a floor-length dress in a bold colour for example.

Floisme · 09/02/2015 17:44

I'm sure she'd look great but that's not who she is.

Dragonflyfly · 09/02/2015 17:47

She just looks silly. I would presume, despite all the in your face confidence, that she is in fact desperate for attention and has low self esteem. Nothing to do with age.

MadderPink · 09/02/2015 17:50

But she reinvents herself all the time and she can be anything she likes. She's in tweeds holding a sheep further down this thread!

SoupDragon · 09/02/2015 17:51

I'm sure she'd look great but that's not who she is.

Except it is who she is. There are plenty of pictures of her wearing outfits to awards ceremonies that don't involve looking like a burlesque dancer. Some still have a corset type top, some have a leotard with a lace skirt over the top etc but they are all far better than the burlesque outfit.

Obviously she can wear whatever she wants but that doesn't mean people have to agree with her choices.

Floisme · 09/02/2015 17:55

She wears what she likes, when she likes. Nothing new - people have always disapproved.

WipsGlitter · 09/02/2015 18:00

I thought she looked dreadful. Tragic. Trying too hard. Also has had major work on her face, jawline in particular.

MaryWestmacott · 09/02/2015 18:02

She does reinvent herself a lot, and normally as one of the early adopter of a trend, whereas the 'skimpy all out' look feels a bit done to death, the few woman in high neck lines looked far cooler and interesting, Madonna was half naked, but most importantly, it didn't look interesting, just a bit attention seeking. That's rather sad. (plus if you're going to have it all out, make sure it fits. She had an odd squished boob thing going on, like it was made by someone who'd not got the right measurements).

Floisme · 09/02/2015 18:02

Well I'd love to be as tragic as Madonna.

And on that note, I'm off to cook tea Smile

Eliza22 · 09/02/2015 18:34

I'm sorry....she looks a right "two an' eight".

InQuiteAPickle · 09/02/2015 18:40

Jesus Christ, on a bike! What was the theme? Come dressed like a twat? They all look horrendous!

Rihanna looks like a bottle of Peptobismal and I have no words for the woman in the Orange plastic.

Madonna looks like a plonker but she has a better figure, at 56, than I could ever even hope for, at 31!

Suzannewithaplan · 09/02/2015 20:57

I think her outfit looks overly fussy, it made me think pearly king and queen....just too heavy on the trimmings
