God Bless WAGS

As debate rages about the important things in life, like Hayley Bracken’s mermaidia outfit at last night’s Allan Border Medal (it’s a cricket thing APPARENTLY – you can check out a dedicated Frockwatch here with more Hayley and Lara Bingle’s fake Chanel tattoos), I’m going to swim against the tide and give her a standing ovation.
Not because I would choose to dress like a horny mermaid myself but because IT WAS INTERESTING. I am so tired of boring safe outfits on the red carpet. It’s theatre people! Can’t we have some fun!
Before stylist got their greedy, stylish hands on celebrities, the red carpet used to be a hoot.
Remember this?
And these?
And these?
And these?
And also this?
I MISS THOSE BATSHIT CRAZY FASHION TIMES, DAMMIT. Yes, I am deeply nostalgic for the days when celebrities were asked about their frock and they’d proudly say “I designed it myself”. Because that was a guarantee of something extra special.
WAGS aren’t usually celebrities in their own right. They’re WAGS with their own lives and jobs and families. They don’t always have stylists. In fact they rarely do. Instead, they have to DIY. They even sometimes have to…gasp….PAY MONEY for the dress they wear. And like the rest of us, they sometimes get it right and sometimes get it wrong. Does every red carpet look have to be stylish and perfect and safe?
Do we want to see a sea of black Armani strapless sheaths? Do we want to drown in an ocean of Simply Stylish ALL THE TIME? These women are not fashion models they’re just women who happen to date or be married to sportsmen.
Is it really such a big deal if they wear something a little bit outrageous? Do we take this whole red carpet thing a bit too seriously?

Personally for me I didn’t like the dress! But that’s just me.

AND… It the bodice of the dress was in a solid black fabric wold we all be so outraged? If that little bit of skin tone fabric was anything but skin tone, would it be trashy?
Meh!!! That’s my rant for the day!

Hate the dress, hate the shoes, jealous of her boobs… Love the package! Anyone with the confidence (as I see it; not a need for attention or a desire to stand out in the crowd) to pull off an – essentially tame – outfit, deserves praise. Wish I had Hayley Bracken’s self esteem!

Look at the bloody picture! Her dress is FLESH COLOURED then with all the embellishment. No chance of the girls getting out. Sheesh!

At the BDO my friend I was with commented on all the girls in their bikini tops and shorty shorts. I think I shocked him a bit because I countered with “Shit, if I could, I would wear that!”. Same with a lot of the modelling things

My friend and I at work thought it was fabbo – like Halle Berry’s kinda similar one at the Oscars that she wore. I’m with you, Cate, what is the relevance of Nobel Peace Prize winners? Didn’t one B Obama get one? I bet there was scrutiny of what Michelle wore.

I think it is becoming more of a trend now though?
Years ago you would have the odd flamboyant dress on the red carpet, mainly in Hollywood.
But these days each time there is an awards night or some sort of night regarding sporting recognition, there is bound to be something that is considered over-the-top or too revealing.
I hope it is a trend that passes…. QUICKLY!
As far as Im concerned, the only people that should be seeing Hayley Bracken’s boobehs are Hayley Bracken and of course her husband.
There ain’t much left to reveal!!
