AWFULLY THREADED

After Abbey Clancy stole her new sister-in-law’s thunder, we look at the worst-dressed celeb guests and fashion misses

These stars turned up in hotpants, sheer lace and even WHITE

MODEL Abbey Clancy stole her sister-in-law’s thunder this week by wearing a skimpy Julien Macdonald dress at her brother’s wedding.

And other celebs have upstaged brides too.

Hotpants horror

CAROLINE FLACK has never been afraid to show off her legs, and over the years shorts have become her signature look.

But the former X Factor presenter should surely have made an exception when she attended Dermot O’Leary and Dee Koppang’s wedding in 2012.

Hot pants are not wedding- appropriate, Flackers – no matter how good your pins are.

Sheer madness

IT was no surprise to see KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN wearing a revealing gown to her friend Isabela Rangel’s wedding in April.

After all, sister Kim – who also attended the Miami wedding – and the rest of her reality TV family are hardly ones to shy away from the limelight.

But even so, those sheer panels are way too raunchy for such a formal affair.

Bridesmaid wannabe

WE know what you’re thinking: doesn’t GERI HORNER make a lovely bridesmaid?

The trouble is, the former Spice Girl wasn’t actually a bridesmaid at all.

Geri wore a strapless pale pink gown to attend the wedding of model Poppy Delevingne and James Cook in 2014, but wasn’t part of the bridal party.

Awkward.

Not all white

THERE is one colour that all wedding guests should stay away from: White.

Yet that didn’t stop former Made in Chelsea star CAGGIE DUNLOP, wearing the light hue to Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green’s wedding in 2013. It’s one day, Caggie. Couldn’t you have chosen anything else?

Unless the couple have specified a white dress code there is no excuse for choosing an outfit that is this colour.

It’s almost certainly going to annoy the bride. White means you are trying to steal her thunder so just choose another colour – there’s enough of them.

Too much boob?

SARAH OWEN committed a major fashion boob when she attended the wedding of her sister Lily Allen and Sam Cooper in 2011.

The brunette wore a floral skater dress which had a cut-out section that showed off her bulging cleavage.

At least she made sure that she stayed out in front.

Talk about sibling rivalry…

Pink stink

IT girl LADY MARY CHARTERIS, who was also at Poppy Delevingne’s wedding, chose a hot pink mini-dress with bizarre lace-up boots.

Poppy certainly had an eclectic mix of guests on her big day, but this outfit does not exactly ooze sophistication.

Lady Mary might have been trying to rewrite the rules, but she failed miserably.

Hat's a big no-no

HEADWEAR is always a tricky trend to master, but PRINCESS BEATRICE bravely managed to confront it head-on.

Who can forget that attention-seeking fascinator she wore to Kate and Wills’ wedding at Westminster Abbey in 2011?

If that’s not a cry for attention, we don’t know what is.

Remember, if you’re wearing headgear, keep it chic.

Drab not fab

STUNNING CHERYL is usually dolled up to the nines and looking smoking hot.

So it was a surprise to see The X Factor judge looking so dull at the wedding of Liam Payne’s sister last month. Cheryl was completely covered in a grey, shapeless smock.

On this occasion, her look should only go in One Direction: the bin.
