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.

Love the dress .love the hair and adornment

PetuniaPot · 30/05/2021 13:05

So true about house prices not mentioned in reportsGrin. That's one line of copy they can't churn out when it's a house that never goes on the open market!

@Attictroll

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😂
I absolutely do think they have saved it up for a bad news week. Apparently the public were ushered out and in they piled within a half hour. Carrie will have had the dress on standby and Boris just shoved a buttonhole on one of his usual suits.

As to Boris' hair, I've always thought that's just part of his clown persona. At home I imagine he kicks back in a smoking jacket with his hair carefully slicked into a Rees-Mogg style and answers only to Alexander.

@SpindleWhorl

It says 'Laura Ashley' to me. But I'm also old, and remember lady singers in floaty dresses singing on BBC1 prime time Saturday night.

As for the groom of doom, he's gritted teeth in a sack.

Groom of doom!!! Grin

TotalBastardBollocks · 30/05/2021 13:08

I think she looks lovely and they look happy.

I also think it’s shame people can’t ‘be kind’. Always something negative to say.

OhGodNotThisAgain · 30/05/2021 13:09

Why do so many people like it? It looks cringey like she bought it in a fancy dress shop. She may as well have got a zombie costume. Or a 2 person pantomime horse costume for her and Boris.

NoProblem123 · 30/05/2021 13:10

I think she can do better. In every way.

Unsure33 · 30/05/2021 13:10

@Floisme

I have met him . He was a very popular MP and is quite quiet and interesting when you meet him.

There are plenty of other mixed age relationships discussed on here . Posters love to judge .

I think she looks lovely and I am please they stuck to the rules and had a small quiet ceremony away from the press.

gagrag · 30/05/2021 13:11

I love that style dress non wedding if that makes sense & for wedding I much prefer a looser silhouette & not off shoulder. It's what I wore when I get married.

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 30/05/2021 13:11

Not a fan I’m afraid. The dress fabric looks thin, scratchy and cheap and it needs a slip underneath. The fauxho flower crown is too far forward and makes her look like a small child doing a school play.

I’ll keep my political opinions to myself as this is a S&B thread.

lalamo · 30/05/2021 13:11

Gosh I love the dress. It's a lot like my wedding dress actually (so this thread is giving me a lot of insight into what my guests thought of it 😂)

Unsure33 · 30/05/2021 13:11

@OhGodNotThisAgain

That’s your opinion. I prefer it to brides who literally have everything hanging out , tanned orange and look common

We are all entitled to our opinion .

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 30/05/2021 13:12

(But I can well believe this look is very ‘now’, given the absolutely dire state of every shop’s dress offerings this summer.)

JudgeJ · 30/05/2021 13:13

I craved a dress like that for my '68 wedding, finished up with a mini version of it!

artquejtion · 30/05/2021 13:14

I love her dress !

MarshaBradyo · 30/05/2021 13:14

Love it and suits her style well

Love the boho vibe

MapleMay11 · 30/05/2021 13:15

Gorgeous outfit. She looks beautiful, absolutely radiant and very happy.

Sparklingbrook · 30/05/2021 13:15

I like her dress. But not sure we are allowed to say anything positive about the marriage at all. Hmm

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 30/05/2021 13:16

@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.
That's what I see.

Dreadful own goal from the Catholic church to allow him to marry in Westminster Cathedral. His previous conduct should surely have disqualified him. Twice divorced for infidelity, unable to confirm how many children he has, several of the children born outside wedlock - how does this qualify him to be married in church when many whose divorces were no fault of their own have been refused?

Aww don't be mean, @MsRinky - it's her wedding day and she looks fab and happy!

No it’s not only you, nothing about them personally but I just don’t see anything stylish at all.
BreakingtheIce · 30/05/2021 13:20

He looks exhausted resigned, a mess. She looks gorgeous. She clearly loves him. God knows why.

VoyageInTheDark · 30/05/2021 13:20

I love the dress and flower crown. I tried a flower crown for my wedding but it just looked ridiculous on me

Campervanna · 30/05/2021 13:21

Congratulations to them both. I hope they have a long and happy marriage.

She looks stunning and the dress and headdress really suit her. Only thing I would have changed, if I was her, is the red nail varnish on her bare toes.
