Struck by this ad that appeared on FB this morning and not in a good way 😂

Thought this was going to rn about women with filled lips and massive crazy eyelashes..

I'll admit it's an odd choice for an advert but I like that it's an older woman who looks a bit wild. I can relate 😂 I actually like the cardigan. Vivienne wasn't exactly conventional herself.

Gosh, the volume in her hair is amazing! I really like the outfit, it looks stylish and quirky to me. Really suits her!

TheLeadbetterLife · 24/11/2024 10:11

I'm not following you OP, is your problem that this woman is not 22 and a size 4, standing awkwardly with a glum expression? Her make-up and hair are great, the clothes look nice and she looks beautiful and happy.

AnnaMagnani · 24/11/2024 10:13

The main thing wrong in that look is her makeup. Outfit and hair are great, but she has odd pale foundation and her eye makeup makes her eyes look shut.

goldenshred · 24/11/2024 10:13

To look what? She looks great. 😍

Hope2025 · 24/11/2024 10:14

It works for me!

OP, what a mean post.
If you don't get it then you're not Westwoods market.
Move along, but don't humiliate a person because she doesn't emanate your style.
Mean girl.

LostittoBostik · 24/11/2024 10:22

I think the problem with this advert is the internalised misogyny we all carry - a mid life woman wearing clothes than don't conceal her adult woman shape

Janedoe82 · 24/11/2024 10:23

I think she looks class! Great fun and posh

ObieJoyful · 24/11/2024 10:24

I love that cardi!!

AdviceNeeded2024 · 24/11/2024 10:24

Do you mean you don’t like the clothes? They are definitely Westwood but I’m not keen on the colours. I like the bag though.

doodleschnoodle · 24/11/2024 10:26

I actually really like the outfit! Lovely colours and quirky. But I'm still not clear which part is meant to be 'not good' bit.

Gingernaut · 24/11/2024 10:26

Vivienne Westwood is supposed to be 'high end'

The whole thing looks cheap, from the staging, the make-up and the photography

Is it supposed to be a parody of fashion photography?

It's not showing off what's supposed to be sold very well at all

ViciousCurrentBun · 24/11/2024 10:27

I love the cardigan. I don’t care that she is older or not skinny but I hate her make up. What were they thinking it’s all a bit pantomime dame and ruined the face of an attractive mature woman.

Overtheatlantic · 24/11/2024 10:27

She has a lovely smile and looks she would be a fabulous host.

2ndMrsdeWinter · 24/11/2024 10:27

I think it’s very ‘on brand’ for Westwood.

So you only posted to be goady?

SleepyHippy3 · 24/11/2024 10:28

Not everyone has to be a fashion victim, or relentlessly follow fashion trends that are often really awful. Who ever this lady is, what she is wearing suits her and she looks fab.

I don’t think it looks cheap! Very Saltburn. Parody of the upper classes almost.

So you posted a nasty post on purpose? Or can you explain what you mean?

Yes I dont understand it either.

Is it about her facial appearance, has she had work done?
