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 think being PM massively helped in terms of getting married in a catholic church.

HeadNorth · 30/05/2021 12:36

She looks beautiful, her choice of groom is grim.

I know a couple of of people who have met Boris Johnson, and who in no way share his politics, but who reported that he made them laugh. A lot. I find that can be a very attractive quality - dismiss it at your peril.

As for the suit, I think the way his clothes often look a bit too big is probably deliberate and, I imagine, down to clever tailoring.

DancesWithTortoises · 30/05/2021 12:38

Must be looking at a different photo to many. I think the dress is grim and the crown a mistake at her age.

newnortherner111 · 30/05/2021 12:39

Lovely and suitable dress does not take away the fact that the now Mrs Johnson has married a person whose inactions and actions have killed over 20,000 people. Rose West probably looked nice on her wedding day, or the woman who became Mrs Kray.

Attictroll · 30/05/2021 12:43

Her dress looks like a 70's nightie and he looks so old in comparison. Do you think they have been saving up getting married for a bad news week😂

WaitingForNormality · 30/05/2021 12:45

I love her dress - I actually think she looks amazing. Her style is very nice most of the time I must say - and not what we'd usually associate or expect from PMs wife.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 30/05/2021 12:46

I think she looks fabulous!!

Love her style and dress and headpiece so pretty

meow1989 · 30/05/2021 12:47

Half of me quite likes it (more so I the pictures in the fail where she's barefoot and he's jacketless), half of me thinks she looks like she's off to Cochella via Chelsea (or the Marc Jacobs ad as pp said). It's difficult to judge fairly as I dislike BJ so much and thus think she's probably not a great person, perhaps unfairly.

MrsBunHat · 30/05/2021 12:48

Oh pshaw newnortherer. This is a shallow thread about a dress. I did say “other issues aside” because there are other threads for talking about her husband’s many appalling failings, i am not a supporter of his in the least but this is style and beauty and about the dress!

And why isn’t there a wedding dress emoji!?

Being shallow, I love the dress, thinks she looks beautiful and wish I could have found a dress like when I got married.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 30/05/2021 12:52

👰🏼‍♀️Could be a bride emoji or a space girl emoji. My old lady eyes can’t tell.

Mrsfrumble · 30/05/2021 12:52

I thought it had been established that BJ has Uncombable hair syndrome? (I know it sounds made up, but it’s a real genetic condition) I might have imagined that though.

The flower crown is a bit Midsommar / Wicker Man, but she wears it well.

mumwon · 30/05/2021 12:52

on that twitter someone commented about his tie looking like she had dragged him down the aisle with it
I am of the age that my wedding dress looked a bit like this bit Victoriana (but better I think Grin)I didn't wear the may queen crown 'tho & my dh looked very handsome

fourminutestosavetheworld · 30/05/2021 12:53

I know that the shops are currently full of dresses that look like 1970s nighties but I don't think it suits her or the setting. The faux 'summer of love' vibe is jarring in the circumstances. She looks like a member of Pan's People. Might look better with a tambourine.

MournfulTromboneNoise · 30/05/2021 12:53

Can't wait to see what his mistress is wearing.

MrsBunHat · 30/05/2021 12:55

Ooh thanks dobby, that does look like a bride (though why not be a bride and an astronaut at the same time I guess!).

gagrag · 30/05/2021 12:57

I wonder who paid for it 😆

SarahBellam · 30/05/2021 13:00

She looks like she’s stepped out in her nightie. God, can you imagine being married to that great hairy sack of bees and cement?

whenwillthemadnessend · 30/05/2021 13:00

I love it. She look beautiful and very happy.

The dress is fab

The flowers are very fashionable too

All good.

OhGodNotThisAgain · 30/05/2021 13:01

She looks like she’s going to a music festival. 😂 As if a hippy would marry a politician

SarahBellam · 30/05/2021 13:02

He looks like her dad.

Meowchickameowmeow · 30/05/2021 13:02

Just imagine him naked?

I won't thanks all the same! There isn't enough brain bleach in existence for that.

TrainedByCats · 30/05/2021 13:02

I think she looks lovely, I couldn’t carry off that style but she can. It makes her look younger than she is which means my first thought on seeing that picture was she looks like she’s with her grandfather.

A number of people who have met Johnson in person have reported him messing his hair deliberately. It’s part of the slightly eccentric mind on greater matters persona he projects.

QuentininQuarantino · 30/05/2021 13:03

I absolutely love that, she looks brilliant.
