Influencer Isabelle Mathers ruffled feathers by wearing a ball gown to her friend’s wedding welcome dinner.
The Australian influencer, who has over a million followers, posted a photo on Instagram that included photos of her wearing a floor-length, partially see-through yellow dress.
She wore this dress to attend fellow influencer and fitness instructor Rachel Dillion’s wedding welcome dinner.
The bride opted for a white mini dress for dinner, while Mathers opted for a full number.
Netizens were unimpressed with Mathers’ choice, with some calling the dress “inappropriate.”
“I don’t want to be mean. But this is not an appropriate dress for a wedding,” one commented.
“Inappropriate dress for a wedding.” Period,” wrote another.
“The belly cut out for the wedding? It just doesn’t seem appropriate,” someone remarked.
One comment even prompted a response from Mathers, 25, when someone claimed the outfit seemed to suggest she wanted to “upstage the bride.”
“The bride is my best friend. You don’t think I discussed every outfit with her? Mathers responded.
Others online were in favor of the look,
“Is this really important to all of you?” Has she been to the wedding/rehearsals yet? ” We asked.
“Literally everyone is so overwhelmed by your perfection,” another shared.
“People are so stupid leaving comments putting you down for wearing a dress,” one person wrote.
Dillion married Tobi Pearce, who was previously engaged to influencer and fitness queen Kayla Itsines, in a lavish ceremony in Italy over the weekend.
Pearce and Itsines share a daughter, Arna, five, who played the important role of flower girl during the celebrations.
For the actual wedding, Mathers was a bridesmaid and wore a figure-hugging yellow dress, but it was her dinner outfit that had everyone talking.
Meanwhile, Dillion doesn’t seem fazed by Mather’s ballgown moment.
She has posted wedding content online for her 1.7 million followers, and Mathers features heavily in many of the photos.
