A woman has left wedding guests stunned after turning up to her niece's nuptials in a white dress – a move widely considered a major faux pas in wedding etiquette. The guest, who has not been named, defended her choice, claiming those who criticised her were simply 'jealous'.
The incident quickly went viral after photos of the controversial outfit were shared online, sparking heated debates about wedding guest attire. Traditionally, wearing white to a wedding is seen as disrespectful, as it risks upstaging the bride on her special day.
The Bold Fashion Statement
In the images, the woman can be seen confidently posing in a flowing white dress with delicate lace detailing – a look that many argued was far too bridal for a guest. Some even accused her of deliberately trying to steal the spotlight.
However, the guest remained unapologetic, telling critics: 'People are just jealous because I looked good. It's not like I wore a veil or carried a bouquet!'
Social Media Backlash
The photos quickly divided opinion online, with some branding her choice 'tacky' and 'attention-seeking', while others argued that wedding traditions are outdated and guests should wear whatever they please.
One user wrote: 'There’s an unspoken rule – never wear white to a wedding unless you’re the bride. It’s basic respect.' Another countered: 'If the bride didn’t care, why should anyone else? Stop policing women’s outfits.'
Despite the backlash, the guest stood by her decision, insisting she had no regrets and that her niece had no issue with her outfit.
