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.

Carrie is not beautiful. But she looks good in this dress.

SueSaid · 30/05/2021 17:23

'Fwiw I also think the quirks can be what enhance attractiveness'

Yes and how lovely to see people with quirks. Not frozen faces with a set of huge dazzling white veneers that seems to be the fashion nowadays < like the Friend's cast in the reunion Shock>

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

Hmm see I like him and think his weight loss makes him quite attractive.

@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.

Everything that is wrong with this country summed up in one post

"It's quite nice really".

He is a lying, corrupt, lazy, racist , bigot.

He cheated on his wife in their home whilst she was having cancer treatment.

He didn't stop flights arriving from India because he didn't want to upset their leaders as he was desperately trying to get a trade deal to help with the disaster that is Brexit. People have died because of this.

She has had a child and married this disgusting, disgraceful individual.

But, " It's quite nice really".

I could cry for how selfish and shallow our country has become.

@HyacynthBucket rustic milkmaid - brilliant.
I thought it was awful too, and they looked entirely incongruous together. That god flower arrangement on her head was a bit wonky and she looked very slightly mental grinning maniacally at the buffoon next to her whom surely no one in their right mind would want to shag.

Didn’t really like the dress either, it really did scream rustic milkmaid with the hat bales and the bare feet, although I suppose it did suit her boho style, and she’s tall and has a good figure. Boris looked dressed for an entirely different event. And fucking hell, what is actually going on with his hair??

WheeshtYerMansplaining · 30/05/2021 17:32

The more I look at those photos, and his casual attire, and hear about the 'secrecy', the more I think she sprang it on him at the last minute.

"Surprise!!"

WilsonMilson · 30/05/2021 17:33

Hay!

PompomDahlia · 30/05/2021 17:34

The flower crown is cringe. Bit teenager at a festival or something you'd make at a workshop at a middle class hen party. Pretty dress though. Why can't he use some hair product? The class privilege aspect of getting away with being in that position and yet looking like a complete scruff is grating.

lakesummer · 30/05/2021 17:37

I don't like the pair of them.

I think the crown was a little wonky and needed pushing back a little.

But overbite included I saw a very happy pretty looking woman in dress that suited her.
She dressed well for her shape and style and looked genuinely delighted.

SueSaid · 30/05/2021 17:40

'He cheated on his wife in their home whilst she was having cancer treatment.'

They separated in 2018 and she was diagnosed in 2019. Do get your facts right.

'I could cry for how selfish and shallow our country has become'

You could cry at how selfish and shallow our country has become? You must toughen up a bit. Wtf is shallow about it Confused

TheWeeDonkey · 30/05/2021 17:43

Shouldn't you be enjoying your honeymoon Janiie?

This is an S&B thread re her dress. It might be the wrong place if you want scathing political commentary instead.

But also she does look pretty in those pics, even if the dress isn’t liked. Not sure why people are saying not

Roussette · 30/05/2021 17:52

What's to see?

Twice divorced leader of the "party of traditional family values" marries the woman that he cheated on his last wife, Marina, along with numerous other affairs, one lasting four years and had an abortion.
Marina threw him out twice or more, and he then fathered a daughter who he doesn't acknowledge, and moved his now current wife into 10 Downing St, whilst still married to his wife, and cheated on his first wife Allegra with Marina...
but hey he's managed to have a traditional catholic ceremony with full support of the religion that believes marriage is sacrosanct.

So what they looked like on their wedding day is all beyond me. He's despicable beyond words.

Roussette · 30/05/2021 17:54

Ooops. Did not realise this was style & beauty... it came up on 'trending'.

Oh well... said my bit! Grin

MarshaBradyo · 30/05/2021 17:55

Just looking at the title it says shallow thread alert, so maybe pp should have taken heed ;

fallfallfall · 30/05/2021 17:56

Thank you @SimonedeBeauvoirscat

Roussette · 30/05/2021 18:02

Yep!
Didn't read it properly. Obviously. And sometimes 'shallow thread' is said tongue in cheek!
Naughty me

I'm gonna go for it....

Nice dress for a slim person, and she is remarkably slim. And the photo of her is nice.

Him... looks like he's had his hair cut by a blind barber with a bread knife.

CastAColdEye · 30/05/2021 18:12

Worzel Gummidge and Aunt Sally springs to mind.

Spot the difference

SusannahSophia · 30/05/2021 18:20

The gypsy caravan flake advert comes to mind.

But she looks nice enough, even if the flower crown is too big. I don’t like her hair colour, unnatural looking, but the style is nice.

Boris, definitely father of the bride.
