Influencer slammed for ‘hideous,' too-revealing dress at fashion show: ‘Different isn't always flattering'
An influencer is being bashed for attending a fashion show in an extremely revealing outfit.
Elle Ferguson shared a video on Instagram wearing the lilac Loewe dress from their fall 2025 collection with a deep, plunging neckline and a layered peplum design around the waist.
'All I can say is THE LILAC @loewe dress is even better in real life,' Ferguson, who famously quit the Australian reality show 'The Block' in 2022, wrote in her caption.
Fans and haters rushed to the comments section to slam the 'hideous' outfit, with many noting that it's not complementary to her body.

'Not a fan, it reminds me of loose skin after massive weight loss!' one person noted.
'Different isn't always flattering. And I'm talking about the dress not you. This dress wouldn't be flattering in anyone as it is,' someone wrote.
'It's terrible and you look so uncomfortable in it – like you're afraid it's going to flop open. Not a good look REALLY,' a user commented.

'Looks so uncomfortable to wear,' another said.
'Why are people lying? This dress is awful. Stop the BS. Elle, gorg, the dress, terrible. Every bit of it except the color,' someone else said.
However, some people came to her defense, complimenting the outfit.
'Ok Victoria's Secret model,' one person wrote alongside multiple heart-eye emojis.
'You are the full model vibe. Give this girl a catwalk,' another commented.
'Actual Supermodel,' someone declared.
The post comes a few months after Ferguson revealed some shocking instances of her past that occurred as she built her career as a businesswoman.

In May, she captioned an Instagram story 'awkward question' and shared a query she was once asked in an interview.
'I remember so vividly sitting in a job interview (conducted by a woman) and being asked the reason why I've come so far in my job because of the 'way I looked,'' she said at the time, according to the Daily Mail.
'Can I ask you a question? I'm sitting here looking at you … you're an attractive-looking girl … lady. How important does that play in getting yourself to stand out amongst the crowd?' she wrote in a post with a simple black tile.
In the next story, she posted another black tile that asked, 'Do you think a man would be asked this question?' along with a yes or no question box.
'This was one of the questions I was asked in 2019 by Mark Bouris,' she finally revealed, referring to her guest episode on Aussie podcaster Bouris' 'The Mentor' show in 2019.
Ferguson replied to the host, saying that she had to work 'harder' for her success, considering she had to overcome the ''Legally Blonde' dumb blond' stereotype.

A tour de force star performance elevates ‘No Child ...'
Sun, who writes from her own experience as a teaching artist with the Epic Theatre Ensemble, has created a one-woman show in which 'Ms. Sun' is a struggling actor who has a grant to teach a six-week theater workshop to a group of tenth graders described as 'academically and emotionally challenged.' Cue the archetypes: the impatient Shondrika, the arrogant Jerome, the intense Brian, not to mention the no-nonsense school principal, the overwhelmed teacher, and the wise old custodian who serves as the story's narrator. In the show, Ms. Sun has chosen to stage Timberlake Wertenbaker's 1988 play, 'Our Country's Good,' about a group of 18th-century convicts in Australia who mount a play that illustrates the power of theater to motivate, illuminate, and transform. But after making this choice, she wonders about the parallels between the Australian prisoners and her teenage students, who live with bars on their apartment windows, and must pass through metal detectors to get to class every day (a security guard repeatedly shouts 'Go back!' every time a detector buzzes). Advertisement Frustrated by her students' lack of enthusiasm and resistance to participation, Ms. Sun decides to quit, only to be persuaded to return by the school's indefatigable principal, and supported by a new, no-nonsense homeroom teacher. Of course, there are a series of obstacles that are swiftly overcome before the triumphant performance. While there are no surprises in 'No Child …,' Sun infuses her story with enough sincerity, humor, pathos, and occasional poetry to win us over (the girls bathroom, for example, emits the evocative smells of 'makeup, hair pomade, and gossip'). Rather than unfurl one character's story at a time, Sun allows the students' reactions to tumble out, so that Turner, while still seated in a classroom chair, uses expressive body language to communicate comments and conversations that bounce back and forth between Sun and several students. This Gloucester Stage production rises above some of the stereotypes in Sun's material thanks to the outstanding collaboration between Turner and director Pascale Florestal. Sun's 75-minute play moves swiftly and yet never feels rushed, thanks to Florestal's pacing and Turner's chameleon-like shifts from one character to another, accomplished effortlessly with a combination of posture adjustments, facial expressions, and vocal inflections. Turner is so convincing, we always know exactly who's speaking and what's motivating their behavior, no matter how quickly the conversations progress. Florestal also deftly guides Turner to work across every corner of Cristina Todesco's deceptively simple stage (notice those stained, industrial floor tiles and the tinted windows, subtly lit by Amanda Fallon). Although Turner moves back and forth and around the stage with only a pair of classroom chairs, the custodian's trash barrel, and a dust mop for props, her shifts in time and space always feel natural and unhurried. Advertisement Thanks to Turner's unpretentious but eloquently detailed performance, we are reminded of the hard reality of how poorly resourced our public education system is compared to the outsized impact teachers and other school workers have on their students. NO CHILD … Play by Nilaja Sun. Directed by Pascale Florestal. Presented by Gloucester Stage Company through Aug. 23. Tickets: $18-$72.

Tina Knowles Effortlessy Ethers Beyoncé Haters With Throwback Video—‘She Chose To Rely On Her Talent'
When it comes to Ms. Tina Knowles, she does not play about her family, and her recent Instagram post is making fans give her a round of applause. 'If she has helped you stay relevant or to get your name in the press . I'm very happy she could help you. You're welcome!' wrote Mama Tina. Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic / Getty Alongside a TikTok video compilation featuring throwback videos of Beyoncé, the family matriarch set the record straight on her daughter not building her career on the backs of others and being far from a hater. The protective matriarch let people know that she sees the shade directed towards her superstar seed and is not above clocking it. 'As a Kid with big dreams , She made a commitment to work hard! Polish her craft,, take vocal lessons, dance lessons, sacrifice, focus , train, and mind her own damn business and does not mess with anybody. She sticks close to her family. She never gossiped or put anybody else down, to make herself feel better,' Mama Tina wrote. 'She never wasted her time on being jealous, she was taught very early on that her time and energy could be better used to focus on herself , to practice and perfect her craft. So she complimented others. and remained humble.' She continued, 'She was inspired and respectful and paid homage to those great artists that came before her. She gave back to her community. She has never used someone else's name to get publicity or attention for herself. No one lives rent free in her head because she is obsessed with them or jealous of them. She has also NEVER constantly , criticized others looks , talent, and character. Has never lied on , or started false rumors about others , has never started one sided beefs with anyone, to get her name on mainstream media outlets or be relevant or in the current news. She chose to rely on her talent and hard work and her own name. But if she has helped you stay relevant or to get your name in the press . I'm very happy she could help you. You're welcome! God bless You.' She finished her dragging by thanking those who've shown love to Bey and letting the hit dogs who may decide to holler know that they're waiting for their responses saying, 'But if the shoe fits, I'm sure we will be hearing from you.' After closing out yet another successful show as one of the style and design minds behind the iconic onstage looks of Mrs. Knowles-Carter, Mama Tina clearly had time to clock the scalding hot tea of Beyoncé haters worldwide. And ya know what? Go off, mama! It's not the first time that she's stepped into her Instagram captions to snatch a wig or two, as she's often come to the defense of her bonus daughter Kelly, son-in-law Jay-Z, and her baby girl Solange. She's also said that Beyoncé has got on her case in the past about addressing the haters, but it's clear that Mama Tina is not letting anything slide. Mama Tina's Instagram feed is not only a place for setting the record straight as she also often uses her platform to show love. During the Cowboy Carter tour she took time to post herself with several of the celebrities who came out to support Bey, including SWV. She revealed that the group were like surrogate big sisters to the original Destiny's Child members and that the sistas with voices took them under their wing and paved the way for them. So special!
