If you have all the money in world why would wear this?

[sunshinegrey]

Politics aside, but is this hideous and not best for her frame, or is it me?^^

I really like the skirt but would have lowered the neck and added a red section at the top to balance the bottom. It's still lovely and suitable for the occasion with red and blue.

It was perfectly chosen to both make her stand out and to conceal her. Like a costume for an event she’d rather not be at.

I’m sure she’s fine 🙄

op I also don’t like the dress. Reminds me of a Tesco carrier bag from back in the day

Each to their own, but it is far too busy for my taste.

For some reason, the blue & white stripes remind me of deckchairs & garden furniture & beach towels. I imagine she'd clash horrifically, if she sat on a deckchair...

It's also rather jarring and completely swamps her.

I don't like it but I am feeling a bit sorry for her because it caused such a reaction and spawned so many memes. I get the nod to her Indian heritage but there are some other nicer dresses on that site.

OP could have just asked what people's opinion on the dress was and said that she wasn't a fan of it. No need for the 'all the money in the world and she chose this' comment.
Also, it was not 'shockingly expensive' as someone said, it costs about £350 (unless you expect her to wear something from George at Asda).

Nothing against her but I agree the dress is absolutely fugly and unflattering

But TBH I think the same about virtually all current fashion.

Tjank you for the link.
I have very little spare money, so this is way out of my price range. But this seems a very ethical business, sustainable, fair pay, hand made etc, £395 isn't actually outrageous for an outfit like that.
She has money and is chosing to spend it ethically, I don't think you can fault her for that.

Christ haven't we moved past knocking other woman down?

Get a grip @sunshinegrey and move on with your day without being so mean!

@sunshinegrey but you surely knew it was a very emotive moment, irrelevant of political views? I think it’s unkind to comment on the outfit she chose at that moment. You also added a comment on her financial status.

The neckline makes me feel like I can't breathe properly, bit it's otherwise perfectly nice. No idea how much it cost

Why would she wear it? I'd say because she likes it. Fairly obvious really.

I like the dress and I think she looks lovely.

The only person IRL that I know who was slagging off her dress hates the Tories and going on about her dress is just an extension of that. I find her weird for that. She also sits round in pyjamas stained with bean juice....so.....

Money = choices

Her money is not a secret to anyone

I actually really like the dress, I think she’s very petite though and it looks like the dress is wearing her rather than the other way round.
But I like bold dresses. I also think she’s gone for an incredibly modestly priced dress tbh!

😂😂

It’s a fabulous dress and if I had the budget, I’d be wearing it. LOVED the white block heels with it too - kept it very modern.

She likes it.
It's a lovely dress.
A refreshing change to the usually drab things I usually see.

Oh, MUCH more reasonable than I was expecting. Might have to investigate further!

that was a lighthearted comment, I too am sure she’s fine, what with being a billionaire.

I've seen a lot worse on Mumsnet. Maybe you'd like it if it was from boden 🙄

I like the dress a lot, I think it's unusual and not overly expensive for a hand embroidered, cotton dress (£250ish). She looks lovely.

Looks good and clearly wanted red, white and blue to send a message.

I bet she doesn't care. I can imagine the sorts of people that do make the memes and what they look like and wear.

This is style and beauty. We discuss the style and beauty not the politics
