Anyone else think it's too tight even for her figure?

OldFrill Sun 27-Oct-24 11:08:01

She looks great in both dresses

Her figure is fabulous.
She isn't showing anything at all in the dress, other than highlighting her shape. smile

Hear, hear MissAventure, she's womanly, bold & clever. 😊

The photos I saw it looked really crinkled up which suggests slightly too tight. Maybe she needed to have a big poo

I haven't seen any crinkly photos.
Do you have a link please?
Thank you.

this one.

In fact they're probably the brightest sparks of all!

OK, you've grounded me on that one. I'll put up no resistance!

CV was always called "Daddy's girlfriend" in our family. Used to cause some eyebrows to be raised if the kids spotted one of her videos in a shop and they'd go on about what daddy's girlfriend said (about numbers or reading or whatever.) I think some people felt sorry for me and some thought I was a fool. It was quite funny. We still call her daddy's girlfriend but I'm not sure if he still likes her as much as he did.

I think that dress looks great and she has a good figure.

I'm not sure that reality show people are actually that dim. They certainly manage to get themselves noticed and go on to other successful and lucrative careers.
I know quite a lot about TOWIE members, (don't ask!). Several came from jobs in city banking, plumbing, law firms, firefighter just to name a few. Maybe some were previously dim waitresses, or electricians but they recognised how to turn their lives around and make their fortunes. One or two have gone on to do university courses.
Carol V is a strange one because she came from academia in the first place.
Though I did note yesterday in Waterstones that she produces her own Maths for kids series, ages 3 -11, so is still using those skills.

Do you mean the mirrored sequin dress?
It's not low cut, sleeveless and doesn't look too tight in the photo I saw, although I didn't watch the programme.

Wish I could wear it!!

A bit like the late Mae West.

You’re probably right. I don’t watch those reality progs so all I know about the people involved is what I see in the media or on TV trailers. They all seem very similar though, huge great grinning teeth, pumped up lips, enhanced bits and pieces and weird eyebrows. They all seem to want a certain “look”.

It’s a bit blingy for me but shows off her figure beautifully. Everything is covered and she looks great. How much nicer if it had been a different plain design though.

I couldn't care less

Seabreeze Sat 26-Oct-24 22:47:42

Not correct dress. I saw the programme.

Primrose53 Sat 26-Oct-24 22:27:48

I have seen her wearing worse actually.

It always amazes me how an intelligent, naturally attractive woman can allow her body to be pumped with fillers and botox and unhealthy stuff. I just do not get it!

I can more or less accept it from those young people on reality programmes because they seem pretty dim but she is well educated.

Farzanah Sat 26-Oct-24 21:34:58

This is the way life is now. As long as you look “good”:doesn’t matter about anything else, especially as a woman. God help you if you don’t conform to the current accepted beauty or dress standard, you will be ripped to pieces, mainy by other women.

Tilly59 Sat 26-Oct-24 18:27:10

No

Spencer2009 Sat 26-Oct-24 18:19:38

I don’t think her figure is amazing, she’s to big in places and not in proportion, looks like she’s trying to hard.

Sasta Sat 26-Oct-24 17:54:22

Good on her, she can wear whatever she likes, as can we. That said, I don’t think it’s the nicest one I’ve seen her wear. I don’t watch that programme, but looking back at pics of her outfits over the years, I think the one she wore last year was simply stunning and hard to beat.

DeeDe Sat 26-Oct-24 15:10:14

Thought she looked awful, and her hair looked a real mess
Neither suited her, she’s gone to pot, shame used to like her
And she was quite a good looking woman.

Parsley3 Sat 26-Oct-24 14:54:28

the focus should be more on the brave and deserving recipients not on the fancy outfits of the presenters.
Absolutely correct. I hardly noticed what the presenters wore because the winners were the stars of the show.

Leaving Carol Vorderman aside, I get a bit miffed that most of the focus at these events is on what the presenters are wearing.
I couldn’t believe that Good Morning Britain sent around five of its presenters parading in front of the cameras in their posh frocks alongside Richard Madelely just to present one award, surely the focus should be more on the brave and deserving recipients not on the fancy outfits of the presenters.
Rant over!

👏👏👏 Good point!

Dylant1234 Sat 26-Oct-24 14:09:27

Her phone in on LBC was great! Such a pity she’s stopped for health reasons. She’s not afraid to speak her mind, and she has an excellent mind. Don’t care what she wears as long as she’s happy.

We can also have a go at the appearance of men😃

I dont care about her dress.
I think its fine to discuss plastic surgery though. That's an issue that impacts women in particular, sometimes you have to cause some offense in order to be able to analyse its negative impact on women and girls.

Fae1 Sat 26-Oct-24 13:33:29

Was never a fan of hers or her clothes or her figure. Nuff said!
