Fashion influencer defends wearing ‘truly hideous’ viral dress to show after harsh backlash
I don't think anything can excuse this dress
Fashion influencer, Elle Ferguson has clapped back at the harsh backlash she received for wearing a dress described as “truly hideous” to a show.
Elle rose to fame on Australian reality TV show, The Block, but received a lot of criticism after she debuted her newest look, with it being described as “unflattering, uncomfortable and hideous” by her followers.
The 40 year old influencer has since defended her outfit, describing it as “the most beautiful dress”, and something tells me we might have different views on what that looks like…
She told The Daily Telegraph: “The only thing I was thinking when I put this dress on is that I was exceptionally lucky to be looking at Jonathan Anderson’s last collection with Loewe.
“I loved that dress. I still love that dress. I put it on and I stood there proudly. Art starts conversations. But I don’t think there’s any place for negative comments or tearing a woman down for wearing a dress.”
Elle was originally called out for the dress after posting a video of herself wearing ahead of a fashion show, with the caption: “All I can say is THE LILAC @loewe dress is even better in real life.
“Such a dream to experience @jonathan.anderson last collection in real life and get to play dress-ups with the collection. Big thanks to the incredible #loewe team and @mcm_pr.”
However, her followers were less than keen on the dress, with one commenting: “Different isn’t always flattering. And I’m talking about the dress not you. This dress wouldn’t be flattering on anyone as it is.”
Another added: “That dress is hideous!’ with another agreeing that it wasn’t a great looking, writing: “God, that’s an ugly dress.”
