Fashion entrepreneurNadia Bartelsparked online criticism after wearing a daringsee-throughblackdressto a friendsweddingin Melbourne,Australia.
Social media users labeled the look as attention-seeking and inappropriate for nuptials.
Nadia, known as an Aussie socialite, stunned in a fitted, floor-length dress.
Its about the bride.
Etiquette expert Maryanne Parker previously opened up about wedding fashion faux pas perpetuated byweddingguests.
Maryanne toldBored Pandain June: Trying to outshine the bride is always a very big faux pas.
Only if this is specified previously by the bride that she doesnt mind her guests wearing white dresses.
This tradition comes from back in the day, during Queen Victorias wedding to Prince Albert.
The white color [represents] purity, innocence, and vulnerability.
She also advised against dressing too casually, stating: We live in a very relaxed society.
However, we need to learn to read the room and … the invitations.
Only if suggested by the bride and the event planner, if there is one.
We cannot be too extravagant or too casual at [peoples] weddings.
Once again, check the requirements, and the obvious elements, and use your common sense.
Bored Pandahas contacted Nadia for comment.
Shouldnt everyone be looking at the bride and groom, a reader commented
