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.

@Cleverpolly3

That dress and headdress are just so affected. All she needs is a wheat field to wander off into having disembarked from a gypsy wagon

Maybe she will find TM lurking in there Grin

Also living proof that power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. That and gold wallpaper

According to Sky News there were hay bales too. [Hmm]

Its a weird picture it looks like she accosted him as he was walking out to take a breather from the meeting about how to distract the UK voters from Dominic Cummings hand grenade.

he's got his signature look...

At least he bothered to straighten his tie previously!

Stichintime · 30/05/2021 16:20

Repulsive

@Needanewhat

It's bloody heinous, she looks like she's stepped straight out of the film Midsommar.
Oh wow. Knowing how that film ends maybe the dress is more symbolic than we imagined. 😮😂

What’s with the two pints of milk in the background of the garden photo?

HyacynthBucket · 30/05/2021 16:31

I think it looks ridiculous - bare feet and haybales in the middle of London! And dressed like some sort of rustic milkmaid? Sorry.

Like this from the same period as the dress?

She’s taken his name apparently! Didn’t expect her to.

[/quote] A gypsy with Boris, we wouldn't touch him with yours. Grin Nothing gypsy about dresses like that. Thanks

I like her dress but it's not worth over £2,000.

The floral head dress thing is ridiculous. It's almost over her eyes. I thought she looked a mess. Her hair looked like it needed a good comb, although admittedly not as bad as his, and the floral thing just added to the messy look.

Cam2020 · 30/05/2021 16:43

Love the dress and her beach waves but not a fan of the flower thing in her hair. Really goergeous dress though!

MolotovMocktail · 30/05/2021 16:44

It’s giving me major Midsommar vibes...

I thought it had a look of early 70s Laura Ashley Fulham milkmaid about it. I liked it.

If he has loads of charisma he certainly hides it well. Every time he speaks I could hit him with all that umming and erring.

Unsure33 · 30/05/2021 16:56

Why can’t posters just say it’s not their style ?

Why not Be Kind to your fellow females as far as discussing the dress and the low key style of the wedding

It’s not about politics or judging her choices

eatingpopcorn · 30/05/2021 16:56

She looks wonderful. Great style, gorgeous choice of dress, fully onboard with the vibe she's going for. It's a shame the groom looks like he's stopped by for after work drinks.

PelvicFloorTrauma · 30/05/2021 16:59

I literally cannot understand how such a plain woman with an overbite can be described as beautiful or stunning. They look ridiculous. Her dress is the sort of thing my mother wore in the 70s. I would have put its price as below £200.

PetuniaPot · 30/05/2021 17:02

Surely the " signature look " photo is doctored?"Shock

Hoppipolla479 · 30/05/2021 17:09

She looks a bit Midsomar, but the dress is good.

SueSaid · 30/05/2021 17:12

'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.

PetuniaPot · 30/05/2021 17:19

She's attractive by any normal standard. And looks very thrilled in the photos.
We are not surrounded by supermodels irl. At least I'm not!

Fwiw I also think the quirks can be what enhance attractiveness: people start to go altering their noses for example to the standard they lose character and end up looking bland.

I do not wish Boris Johnson happiness. He is self serving, corrupt and inept. If I wish him anything, it is to go away.
