A WEDDING guest has sparked fury after people brutally criticised her dress choice for attending nuptials.
The wedding season is now officially in full swing and amongst those invited to the romantic ceremony is also TikTok user Sophie Barnes.
The stylish fashionista recently shared a clip of the gorgeous gown she was wearing to a friend’s big day – however, the show-stopper of an outfit caused quite a bit of drama on the platform.
The stunning frock, fit for a red carpet event, was a figure-hugging maxi dress with a thigh-high split on one side, as well as feather detailing around the hem.
According to the style lover, who posts under the username @mrs.sophiebarnes, she had bagged the Karen Millen gown on sale for £120.
In the video, Sophie looked incredible, as she posed next to her partner, dressed in heels and with a pastel blue purse on her shoulders.
Whilst her man looked smart in a chic suit and a burgundy red bow tie, the young woman was a real-life princess, sporting a fabulous hairdo and glam make-up.
But whilst the loved-up couple were indeed serving looks, Sophie’s dress soon sparked fury amongst viewers who reckoned the baby blue colour was not fit for a wedding guest.
Dress is stunning but too light for a wedding
Social media user
”That is an insane thing to wear to a wedding as a guest. It looks white in photos,” read a comment that’s been liked dozens of times.
”How self obsessed can you be?” the person slammed Sophie.
Another agreed, writing: ”Clearly blue, clearly photographs as white.”
Someone else chimed in: ”Dress is stunning but too light for a wedding!”
After being criticised amongst fellow TikTok users, Sophie raced to hit back at the trolls, claiming that the bride ”was perfectly fine” with her outfit.
”1. It’s blue not white lol,” the stunner responded to the critics.
”2. The bride knew what I was wearing and said how much she loved it.”
Thankfully for the stylish fashion lover, there were also comments left by supportive fans who couldn’t get over how stunning she was looking.
