VB's dress on Mrs Burnham - horrible

[TheBlueKoala]

I'm not a fashion expert and I really don't care much for it but this was the most horrible dress I have ever seen. Even on a coathangar bodytype like VB herself it wouldn't look good but on an average body it's just hideous. That's 850 £ unwisely spent. She could and should have gotten a dress from M&S for 50£ and actually looked good.

She has a long standing, successful marketing career. I’m sure she can afford to buy her own dresses. 🙄

I agree to a degree. It shouldn’t matter. But it does. We communicate a lot about ourselves by what we wear. No question. People will judge her judgement or choices.

She is not old . She and he are 56.

But I think she cares a lot about how she looks.

Whether she likes it or not her clothing choices will be reported on from now on. Unfair ? Possibly. But if you are part of a very public couple and they are, brands and the industry will look to see how or if you represent British interests well.

Well it was interesting actually. He wore a suit. Which for him was awfully formal. T shirt man realised he had to put a suit on.

Agree unless your VB ( who apparently restricts her diet and eats same meal every day) I’ve never seen any of her dresses I’ve liked, most look like slip nighties No she was badly advised the dress was far too tight round her tummy did her no favours my elderly mum asked if she was pregnant not a good look she’ll hopefully get better advice soon.

I think she looks brilliant- she’s very sexy. The pot tummy def adds to that sensuality. I bet her and Andy have great sex

I can’t imagine she actually paid for that monstrosity. I assumed it was ‘gifted’ to her

To be fair they all are. Did you see all the Labour politicians clapping and cheering Starmer saying what a great job he had done?
Yes the very same politicians that ousted him. How are earth can you be so two faced?
Sorry not really the point of the thread.

Kier was definitely done a dirty. Now we have smug face in his replacement.

Political trolls out in force on this thread.

Glad I’m not having breakfast this morning.

The whole thing is nauseating.

Burnham shouldn’t even be in No 10 - a total imposter masquerading as a serious politician. The whole thing is a total joke! The tone deaf, ill fitting dress only highlights the sham of this stupid coronation, and the dire state of the Labour Party.

Maybe they will start recruiting cabinet ministers in open prisons. The ‘top team’ is ridiculous - It’s so depressing - this is supposed to be the crème de la crème of the Labour Party!! 😱

A regular person on the street like old Andy and fam pretend to be don’t ponce wear dresses that are close to 1k.

Yeah this dress wouldn’t work on a bigger bust.

Why on Earth do you feel entitled to speculate on someone’s sex life, just because they are married to someone the public eye?

On what planet would Victoria Beckham gift a dress to the Labour leader’s wife. 😂

I am hoping Labour have learned their lesson from when Starmer took over and him and raynor etc all got grabby with the freebies.

That actually made me squirm huge applause for the man that they hounded out of his job !

Unbutton mumsnettter! Priggish sanctimony doesn’t look good on anyone

Neither does pervy speculation on a strangers sex life. In fact if I was to determine the worst look it’s the pervy speculation.

WTAF? What a weirdo 🤨

What ot who would you prefer?

I'm talking about her being judged on the shape of her body in the dress, not the price. She looks average, not terrible.

There is a time and a place for discussions about sex.

Commenting on a body of a woman in relation to her sex life, just because she happens to be in the public life is neither.

You are seriously off here.

What absolute rubbish.

Reposting this which I completely agree with. But why should she dress like she earns £25k when she's a highly successful woman. She's the wife of the PM and presumably earns very well herself, I'm surprised for such a day she didn't spend more to be honest.

Oh for gods sake. If you think one comment is a discussion about sex you misunderstand what a discussion is. Get over yourself

Look when you’re in a hole, stop digging, commenting on a woman’s body and then her sex life was really weird and pervy. Sometimes you’ve jist got to say yeah my bad, sorry, not attack everyone who tells you it was weird and not ok.
