There's a pretty simple unwritten rule on wedding days... don't outshine the bride.
Well that's exactly what one wedding guest may have inadvertently done, when after her sheer red dress was branded “too hot” by Reddit users.
The unidentified woman’s choice of attire became a hot talking point on Reddit's 'Wedding Shaming' forum on the social media site.
“Hot wedding guests, but talk about stealing attention from the bride with that sheer dress!” the original poster said, sharing a photo of the reported guest in the full length gown'', one person wrote.
“If the top part wasn’t sheer it would be OK for a wedding. It’s a cute dress just not this event,” one Reddit user said.
“OOF, someone is making a STATEMENT with that dress!” a third commented, before adding, “If I had a bod like that I’d dress like that every damn day.
“However, I feel like she’s gotta have some beef with the bride – that dress way too hot for a wedding lol.”
“This seems a little inappropriate for a family gathering. You have to dress for the event,” another commented.
But some people defended the guest.
“I’d be interested to know what the bride, bridal party, and other guests are wearing. While this is much too risqué of a dress for me and my circle, I can see it being the norm for some circles, especially the flashy lifestyle influencer ones,” one woman said.
“It’s a bit much but at least it’s not white. It’s on the tacky side but I wouldn’t shame her,” said another.
While wearing the colour white is a definite no, one person thought wearing red to a wedding was also a “no-no”.
“I also think just in general it’s polite to not wear anything to a wedding that is going to be more eye-catching than the bride in her wedding dress.”
What's your opinion?
