Carrie’s dress. Shallow thread alert.

Sorry if there’s already a thread, couldn’t see one.

Just seen a pic of the happy couple here

All other issues aside, I love her style! I though she’d become a bit less boho and casual in recent months but the dress is a return to form :o

As for him, I think we can conclude from his wedding look that his hair physically cannot be brushed.

I’m not a fan of Carrie’s bridal style at all. I think the fact that it’s completely at odds with Boris’s recycled business suit is what puts me off, they look too mismatched.

BreakingtheIce · 30/05/2021 18:31

My guess is she’s trying to be as different as possible from his previous weddings.

midsomermurderess · 30/05/2021 18:38

I doubt she is trying to be 'different'. It is a style, a current look that she likes and buys in to. It's curious. People come on to style and beauty and say eg I'm 40, what should I now wear, where should I now shop. Without fail, some of the answers are, what ever you like, it doesn't matter what any one else thinks. Why can't she do that?

SakuraEdenSwan1 · 30/05/2021 18:42

I am certainly no fan of them but I do like her boho whimsical dress and headdress!

Standrewsschool · 30/05/2021 18:48

Really love the dress and head garland - retro but looks current as well.

TableNiner · 30/05/2021 18:52

I don’t like the dress or the crown. The crown in particular looks too big, like she is wearing a helmet or a miners lamp. The dress just seems to highlight how young she is compared to him, which I’m not judging, they just don’t match.

When I saw Carrie I thought deja-vu. From The Split

@JaniieJones

'literally cannot understand how such a plain woman with an overbite can be described as beautiful or stunning.'

🙄

You sound charming. She is attractive not sure what an overbite has to do with it. We can't all be oil paintings.

They are clearly very happy together, it's quite nice really.

I don't think she is attractive at all. They make a good pair in the looks department.

From what I have read about her she sounds a scheming not very nice woman.

He is a liar, a serial cheater and an extremely useless Prime Minister. I am disgusted that they were allowed to marry in a Catholic church but I guess, as usual it's one rule for him and one rule for the rest of us minions.

I couldn't really care less whether they are happy or not but I would be willing to bet the marriage doesn't last

OverByYer · 30/05/2021 19:03

It’s one thing critiquing a dress but critiquing their physical features is really nasty.

TruelyStruttingHotpants · 30/05/2021 19:09

She looks lovely and I like the dress. It is probably the worst photo of him I have ever seen. Can't believe that is the one they chose to release. There must be better ones.

CricketsBats · 30/05/2021 19:12

She looks like she's stood next to her father. I just can't see past that big age gap.

Oly4 · 30/05/2021 19:12

I like the dress but the flower thing is way too big

Serpenta · 30/05/2021 19:13

Well there's also the one where he looks like he's on a boozy work night out

midsomermurderess · 30/05/2021 19:15

I have read, here and there, that in reality she is very attractive and she been described as sexy, when people interact with her. The sexy seems comes from her confidence and that she is quite bright. I do find this dragging down of her a bit depressing. Dislike Johnson's and her politics all you want, but do it on those terms. Don't to do it on what she wears for her wedding, she has an overbite, all that nonsense.

PompomDahlia · 30/05/2021 19:21

He really does look like he’s halfway through Friday night drinks after a long week. Odd juxtaposition with the bare feet. I’m not a fan of bare feet and floaty dresses - all a bit affected and Diana Vickers. I can see Carrie having very good energy and confidence though which is very attractive

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 30/05/2021 19:25

I'd really like to meet him.

He must have a helluva lot of charisma that doesn't get captured by cameras.

It's fascinating.

Roselilly36 · 30/05/2021 19:38

Gorgeous dress, loved it.

I am not a fan of BJ. At all.

I am not UMC. Very much MMC bit work with a lot of old Etonians, Wykehamists, Harrowians and Carthusians. Dad is an Old Pauline via scholarship.

Public school adults of my experience have manners that enable them to speak to everyone from the street cleaner to the CEO in exactly the same way. Impeccable ability to make the person they are speaking to feel like the centre of the universe. Clearly feeling like you own the room allows you to work the room. I’ve met some of the above blokes who looked like trolls but my god, they had IT.

MrsBunHat · 30/05/2021 20:45

I'm amazed anyone thinks she's unattractive - I see her as really pretty. One of the reasons I'm yet again gobsmacked at his pulling ability.

@MsRinky

Are we all looking at the same picture? I see a wonky flower crown poking her in the eye over some very brassy locks and a victorian nightie, whilst he just has a wonky buttonhole plus his everyday ill-fitting suit and the same tie he's wearing in all those photos of him with his previous mistress.
Oh thank god, that's exactly what I see! I think she looks awful personally and the flowers look far too heavy and uncomfortable
CovidCorvid · 30/05/2021 21:09

Didnt like the dress, really didn’t like the flower crown. Looks like she got her inspiration from Midsommar which is the weirdest film I’ve seen in a long time!

We all have different views on attractiveness. As I said, I don't think she is attractive at all.

DH says she is funny looking. I don't see her as any more attractive than Boris

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 30/05/2021 21:18

YellowandGreen excuse my ignorance - local comp in the 80s type here - I've obviously heard of Harrow and Eton. The rest, I assume are equivalent. Do you mean there is something these schools do that creates charisma?

Frezia · 30/05/2021 21:19

Her dress looks like she stole the curtains from my nan's house. There's something particularly annoying and forced about that boho style given the circumstances.

I’ve always found an overbite unattractive. I find her ordinarily ordinary. Much like myself I guess.
