Has the media become too judgemental?
When it comes to fashion at Ascot, there will always be critics in the media who are waiting to name and shame someone.
This year was no exception as Royal-watchers came out in force yesterday to catch a glimpse of the Queen and her family as they enjoyed a day out together at Royal Ascot, but it was princesses Beatrice and Eugenie who caught much of the attention, but for the wrong reason.
The two sisters opted for different looks, but neither seemed to appease the sharp-tongued lashings from the British media and public on social media.
‘While Kate, and Sophie looked chic in elegant summer gowns, Princess Eugenie missed the mark in an unflattering black dress’ according to the Daily Mail.
‘The 27-year-old’s black fit and flare dress, with intricate floral embellishment, did little to flatter her hourglass frame.’
While some loved their look, others branded them dreadful and The Daily Mail even went as far as to call Eugenie “frumpy”.
What are your views? Has the world become too judgemental, especially now with social media? Is it right to try to humiliate someone who wears something you wouldn’t? Or is this freedom of speech and opinion a true reflection of our society today?
