YOU might think of a midi dress, or a cute top and trousers combo.
But one woman has sparked outrage after modelling the belly-baring top and skirt she was planning to wear to a “small family wedding”.

Lily took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself wearing the brown two-piece, as she wrote over the top: “TikTok help a girl out/
“Is this acceptable to wear to a small family wedding?
“Because I can’t decide and the wedding is on Friday so I need an outfit ASAPPPPP.”
The outfit consisted of a one-shouldered crop top and a low-slung skirt with ruched detailing on the waist.
She teamed it with a cute gold bag, and wore her blonde hair up.
The ensemble also drew attention to Lily’s belly button piercing.
And while she clearly felt confident in the outfit, people in the comments section weren’t convinced it was suitable for a family wedding.
“Call me old fashioned but don’t think you should be showing your navel at a wedding,” one raged.
“That’s a party or holiday outfit not a wedding guest outfit.”
“What is up with all these girls on TikTok wearing trampy wedding outfits with their bellies and bums out?!” another added.
“Gen Z need a wake up call.
“Crass and classless!”
“No!!! and I’m baffled as to why you think it could be,” a third commented.
As someone else wrote: “Wait what? Noooooooo!”
“No.. I’d wear that with a denim jacket to go to the shops,” another added.
To which Lily replied: “Each to their own, I guess.”
Dos and don’ts of wedding dress codes
By Josie Griffiths, Fabulous deputy editor and bride-to-be.
I’ll never forget the wedding I went to in October 2022 where a guest wore a white dress.
It was ill-fitting, knee length and looked nothing like an actual wedding dress, but that didn’t stop everyone judging her.
The rules on wedding guest outfits – which are annoyingly loads stricter for women than they are for men – are meant to be about “not upstaging the bride”, which in reality is quite hard to do on someone else’s wedding day.
But if you get it wrong as a guest, you do end up looking a bit silly, and in front of loads of people who don’t know you personally.
It’s just not the occasion for your new white dress, as much as online stores love dumping them in the ‘wedding guest’ section.
I’d avoid anything too tight/short, and ditch super formal gowns unless the dress code calls for them – you don’t want to be in a full length sequin gown at a smart casual event.
Personally I don’t like black dresses either, it isn’t a funeral.
Otherwise you should be pretty safe. Technically wearing red means you’re in love with the groom, but that’s the kind of rule most people would scoff at nowadays.
I do always check what colour the bridesmaids are in, just to be safe, after the Spanish wedding where I watched them walk down the aisle in the exact same dress I’d had in my Asos shopping basket just weeks earlier.
If in doubt, safest to just double check with the bride… but if you’re already doubting your dress that might be all the answer you need.
“Looks more like an outfit you’d wear out drinking with the girls,” someone else mused.
But others defended Lily, and insisted the outfit was fine to wear to the nuptials.
“Am I the only person this thinks she’s slayed here and I’d definitely wear this for a wedding too?” one questioned.
“Yes!! So cute!” another added.
“I literally do not understand why not????? Like seriously? You look gorg babe,” a third praised.
“No idea why people are hating, it’s fine for a wedding,” someone else agreed.
“She’s not the bride. Chill!”
“I work at a wedding venue, we see girls dressed like this 24/7 so i’d say it is normal,” another insisted.
Following the backlash, Lily settled on another outfit for the wedding, and took to TikTok to share a video of herself wearing the one-shouldered, figure-hugging brown dress.
