Amanda Holden's Dress BGT

Watching Britain's Got Talent tonight had me watching Amanda Holden's dress more than the Acts.It was so low cut and looked so uncomfortable that I wonder why she would want to wear clothes like that on a TV show. At first I thought her nipples were exposed and then I realised it was wires holding the dress in position ,digging into her breasts giving that appearance.
It seems inappropriate for a family show and I wish the costume department would have a rethink when dressing her and Alyisha Dixon. Perhaps it's me getting old?

As my OH says - blimey , she’s got all her goods in the shop window

Have to admit it's something I often wonder. Do they almost wear dresses like because they are afraid of not being seen as female? There seems to be a competition who can show most flesh - nothing to do with fashion. It's possibly the men who enjoy the view more than us females!!

It’s a clip on radio mic that’s on edge of dress.

Yuk----can't stand the woman anyway and don't watch the show.

I watched the Queen and Princess Margaret growing up. A pleasanter couple of hours. Ch.5 on a Saturday.

I rather like Amanda! She gets the most horrendous online abuse. Not really sure why.

The dress was quite beautiful in my opinion. Granted the mic was unfortunately placed.

I am not a huge fan on BGT but we watch it whilst chatting to our daughter on Whatsapp

We did say there would be people commenting on her attire.

So did we EV a very interesting documentary.

EllanVannin Sun 27-Sep-20 13:21:48

I thoroughly enjoyed it GG13.

(Head down...) I thought she looked lovely. The 'nipples' were obviously shadows.

Katek Sun 27-Sep-20 14:00:30

If that had been her nipple so far up her breast I’d be seriously worried!

BGT is obviously very different to a documentary and is meant as entertainment for a wider audience. When I was young Sunday Night at the Palladium was the time we gathered for family entertainment and BGT should be similar.
The dress was beautiful but really didn't need to be cut as low as it was to be beautiful and less,"look at me" and Headline grabbing,it is meant to be a Talent Show and not the Amanda Holden show .But it has served it's purpose and got her noticed though certainly not for her talent.

I thought her dress was beautiful too. I wish I could wear one like that !! hey ho dream on.
Whats so different about Amanda's attention seeking anyway.. dont all celebrities do that?? Isnt that part of being a celebrity

paddyanne Sun 27-Sep-20 15:53:30

Stunning dress,she looks amazing .

Bridgeit Sun 27-Sep-20 17:11:13

What are we women like, just because we can doesn’t mean we should.
If a different shaped lady wore similar she would no doubt have been criticised.
It looked as if it was uncomfortable to me.

Atqui Sun 27-Sep-20 17:58:39

I googled it , and thought it looked extremely uncomfortable with something digging into each breast!!

quizqueen Sun 27-Sep-20 18:13:08

I am boycotting BGT but not because I might see a bit
of nipple. In my opinion, Amanda is one of the most beautiful woman on tv and she's over 50. Some of the dresses she wears are a bit low but she still has a lovely figure after 4 pregnancies.

BlueBelle Sun 27-Sep-20 18:19:18

I don’t watch so googled it It could have been a nice dress but looked pretty daft and as it’s a programme kids like to watch totally inappropriate
I find her quite irritating to be honest in fact I find all the judges irritating can’t stand Walliams and his dirty innuendos
Think it’s long had it’s day
She looks very droopy in the picture you posted chewbacca she definitely likes her boobs perhaps she thinks they are all she’s got to offer

TrendyNannie6 Sun 27-Sep-20 18:26:41

I’m not a fan of Amanda Holden, and that awful cackle of hers, so I don’t watch BGT

oldgoat Sun 27-Sep-20 18:30:36

Well, she'd need her vest if she was wearing that frock up here today

MissAdventure Sun 27-Sep-20 18:31:44

I preferred her when she used to look like herself.

Dinahmo Sun 27-Sep-20 18:43:25

Why does a 49 year old feel the need to dress like that? In he dress with the slashed front she's got droopy boobs and in the second photo, where she's posing on the stairs, her thighs aren't that well toned. A beautiful 20 something would look so much better in either dress.

She should take a look at Helen Mirren's dresses in recent years, body-con, elegant and not flaunting any body parts. She look s wonderful in a green gown at a recent gala in Monte Carlo.

Ashcombe Sun 27-Sep-20 18:49:52

Maybe it’s not so much the children seeing her about whom we should worry but the DOM amongst the DH's.......!

paddyanne Sun 27-Sep-20 18:51:20

Bitchy ..or what.She looks fantastic and not just for her age ,she's entitled to wear what she likes surely as are we.Have none of you worn a low cut gown or a split to an event? Shame that ,its lovely getting all dressed up and feeling you look your best .Helen Mirren is a good 20 years older than Amanda Holden ,I wouldn't wear her style and I'm nearer her age .

Well said paddyanne
