But then this kind of behavior has happened at Royal Ascot within sight of the late Queen.

A couple of glasses of cheap champagne and some of the blokes regress to their Caveman origins.

Hey GG13 look at this, yesterday! Wowzer. I thought it ‘inappropriate’ (too much skin exposed) for a dinner - never mind the White House! What do you think?

“ Lauren Sánchez chose a gown that bucked tradition for White House state dinners.

The 54-year-old journalist and philanthropist stepped out with fiancé Jeff Bezos, 60, for a state dinner honoring Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife, Yuko. For the affair on Wednesday, April 10, Sánchez wore a revealing red corset gown that stood out among the conservatively dressed crowd. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment on dress codes but typical state dinner dress code is black tie.)

The $2,300 Rasario dress features an off-the-shoulder neckline and structured corset bodice with sheer lace at the abdomen.”

Well that’s a lot of money for not very much dress!

What is 'common' exactly?

The opposite of posh?
Both dreadful words.

Is it me?
Why do ‘celebs’ all look ‘porn star’ chic these days??
False boobs, nails, hair extensions, fur coat eyelashes.
I suppose Dolly Parton was right “it costs a lot of money to look this trashy”.
Except she’s lovely and her trashiness was her stage persona.
Not the case for Bezos’ fiancée.

I would say it's because of a decline in acceptable behaviour, coupled with moral compasses that have veered way off course
You are SO right, Ferry23.

Oops I must take my red shoes to the charity shop. 👠

I love red shoes..

I thought going to the races was all about drinking and gambling. Are they complaining that common people are doing that - how shocking.

I'll get the socks. grin

Together with a very short, tight, white strapless sheath dress, they look very classy!

There are exceptions of course, the so called nouveau riche some of which whom think that none of the social norms apply to them…

Callistemon21 Sat 13-Apr-24 15:57:58

No, buy some fluorescent socks to wear with them!

Red shoes on their own aren't common. Well, I hope not 😁

Fluorescent socks and red high heeled shoes 😁

Isn’t it a case of this type of this behaviour generally happening in streets around the country on occasion not just at the National.
You don’t have to be “common” to be out of control after a few drinks.

Hate horse or dog racing I m happy to let them get on with it

rafichagran Sat 13-Apr-24 15:33:11

To much to drink, and ignorance. Most people go out to enjoy a day not brawl and make it unpleasant for others.

Although I love dressing up, this time of year is too chilly for me to go to the races and I’m not too far away.
Also, I’m not keen on beautiful horses dying in the process.

Not all common people GrannyGravy13 and the press always highlights the worst outfits.

Perhaps my common people comment was me making assumptions, the people I know who own racehorses and/or go to race meetings do not brawl in public.

I assume those that do are either ignorant or absolutely plastered
