What is Jo Whiley wearing??? It's gorgeous

[Rogue1001MNer]

Bbc Saturday

Green, sparkly shoulder strap.

Love it!

She looks amazing

Just because it isn’t white, navy or griege, it doesn’t mean turquoise is ‘Crude’.
it perfectly suits her colouring.

I love the top half but not the bottom half but she looks absolutely incredible doesn't she.

I thought she looked amazing too, and I support the socks and trainers styling - gives the impression she's not trying too hard and being fabulous comes easy.

I'm confused that the dress is 64% acetate though? I thought acetate was what overhead projector slides were made from etc

Crude was a bad use of word. Ugly ? It looks vaguely medical for some reason.

We are allowed to have different opinions, you know. It's not unsisterly. She herself looks great. The dress, not so much.

She looks absolutely beautiful and I love the dress on her. I think part of her beauty is down to her being a happy and positive person, who's happy in their own skin. She clearly takes good care of herself too.

I think it's because she either hasn't had Botox or hasn't overdone it!

She's just stunning

I don't like that dress either!

She’ll be able to wear it to 60th birthday parties, quite handy to have a stunning dress in your wardrobe.

OrderOfTheKookaburra - thats a very good point you make!!

I'll sit with you on the haggard bench love.
I'm 51, going through a frankly fucking awful menopause with two ND kids who have not kept me young, the opposite, no spare £ for dentistry let alone botox and I am knackered. There are bloody loads of us on here but we don't tend to frequent the Style and Beauty boards. You'll find us on the Insomnia or SEN boards. Hugs to you Xx

I loved both of Jo's outfits. Looked dazzling.
You are kidding yourselves if you think she hasn't had some help to look rested though. Plus the majority of us would look awesome with a glow-up/the cash to fund it.

Fantastic post, yes. also not only is it doing women a disservice, it’s so joyless! This is S&B.

Well, exactly. Style and beauty, I come here to look at dresses I cannot afford. 2.1k on a toga would be one of those things. Very glam though and if she wasn't in the VIP bit and did encounter some mud , she could always tuck it into her knickers!

Wow, I just googled what Jo said about Alison Goldfrapp.

Wow.

I really hope she’d been drinking or something and just had a massive brain fart. And has since apologised, fulsomely.

I just read it. It does sound like a brain fart. Completely inappropriate thing to say or voice her opinion on but it doesn’t sound malicious, more of an observation and possibly sympathetic to people who have cellulite? I would have been upset in Alison’s shoes and I do hope Jo apologised too.

The Goldfrapp thing was shocking but surely an aberration? Jo does not seem like a spiteful woman.

She is a real advocate for her disabled sister Frances, who seems lovely too.

That's an excellent and interesting point.

At 58, she’s utterly stunning. I think she’s had work but it’s very subtle. The dress is gorgeous and really suits her colouring. I love her.

Jo wore what looks like the same Stella McCartney dress but in a patterned material in 2022.

She looks great but so do many, many women in their 50s and older.

The Alison Goldfrapp comment sounds like an inner thought mistakenly said out loud. Maybe the rest of you are absolute paragons of sisterly non- judgementality and wouldn't even think it, far less say it. On the other hand I definitely would think what she said.

“It just goes to show that you can be thin and still have cellulite.”

I'm not a paragon of virtue, no, but even I know you wouldn't say this out loud.

@SequinsandStilettos or general health moaning about arthritis!! Apart from being overweight I don't look too bad for 61, ( a bit like a fat version of jo Whiley) however it belies the fact I've got various aches and pains

Yes, that's how I see it as well. So strange. It all goes to pot when you see that footwear.

But yes, she's beautiful.

Nice colour and she looks great but the dress is basically a glorified bedsheet.

The footwear is perfect for the location. The footwear would look daft at a red carpet event but delicate sky high heels would look odd here.
