Lovely to see Lewis Hamilton knighted, he is a young man who has achieved so much. Great to see he took his mum to the ceremony I’m sure she was super proud. She’s dressed to head to toe in Chanel, I like the outfit apart from the frilly blouse, but maybe that’s just me. Anyone else agree?

What are we like!!!!

A thread about a proud Mum and her newly knighted Son and all most can talk about is her (not his) outfit.

They both look very nice, and lovely to see his mum with him.

Why comment at all?

Well my saying the blouse was Laura Ashley looking is not a pop. My wardrobe has similar designs and mumofmadboys for example saying she wasn't sure itsn't being derogatory. Etc for other posters.

Maybe because there is NO forum for Fashion?

Even if there was a forum for fashion putting up photos of non celebs and discussing their outfits would be unkind.

Oh please don't critique her outfit, she is a normal woman and someone's MUM!

This x 1,000,000. This was a lovely, positive OP until the unnecessary pop at the woman's choice of blouse. Why do women do this to each other? sad

And criticising a public figure is not the same as making comments on the outfit of a mother and non celeb.

But she did add a photo, criticised part of the outfit and then invited other posters to comment.

Exactly, 1000 times. Honestly!

Come on Kali plenty of people critique appearance on the political threads.

Don't feel bad ladies. If the OP had just announced this as News, then no one would have commented on Lewis's mum's attire. But because the OP added a photo of course there was bound to be comments about her outfit.
I rather like this new trend on GN of adding photos, but then I am a visual person. Some people's perceptions vary.

I do feel a bit bad about what I’ve said now; but I always notice and comment on people’s clothes.
Like some people like talking about food or politics.
‘I didn’t mean to be so rude’, to paraphrase a MN cliche. smile

I wouldn’t have know that outfit was Chanel but she looks fine. The bag’s Dior though.

PamelaJ1 Thu 16-Dec-21 09:03:03

If I had a son that had just received such an honour I would be so proud.
I would then be mortified if I read this thread.

Beswitched Thu 16-Dec-21 08:58:36

She looks lovely and very proud. Bit unkind to start a thread publicly criticising her outfit. She's not a celebrity, just a proud mum who wants to do her son justice on his big day.

Of course she is and nobody is criticising her as such, just fashion chat surely ? I like the outfit too apart from the blouse which has too big a collar IMHO

J52 Thu 16-Dec-21 08:13:12

I thought she looked lovely, and so proud. BTW her bag is the small Lady Dior.

It’s a 10 from me for Lewis’s mum’s outfit. Many older ladies like to have their throat and neck covered and the collar of her blouse did that in a stylish way.
I like Lewis’s smart look too - and I believe his mum and dad have a son they can be very proud of.
Lewis’s brother is also a lovely young man.
Well done Lewis!

A super photo of a young man for whom DH and I have much admiration. He makes us proud to be British, not least to see how he has reached the heights of his sport, despite his humble origins. A well deserved honour! (and we love his outfit!)

dolphindaisy Thu 16-Dec-21 07:39:40

I was quite surprised that Lewis wore a conventional suit as he's known for more outrageous outfits, however he did have a ruby broach at his throat to match the medal. His mother has always kept out of the limelight so I suspect it might have been a nerve-racking occasion for her but she must be very proud, I thought she looked lovely, very age appropriate. Well done Lewis, you deserve it

Jaxjacky Thu 16-Dec-21 07:29:10

I think she looks fine, perhaps it is an outfit she’s had a while and knows it’s comfortable.

mumofmadboys Thu 16-Dec-21 07:19:09

Lovely occasion. One very proud Mum! Not sure about the outfit though!

Ladyleftfieldlover Thu 16-Dec-21 07:16:13

They both look so proud. I’ve always been a fan of his.
