‘Entitled sister wants to wear a Beyoncé dress to my wedding

There are normally certain rules when it comes to what wedding guests should wear for someone else’s big day. Certain colours, like white, cream, pearl – and any sort of variation – are usually frowned upon as they are considered too close to the bride’s dress shade. Likewise the colour red, which in some cultures is also reserved for the bride.

An unspoken rule, that many would consider basic common sense, is that you shouldn’t wear anything too crazy or revealing that would upstage the couple. That’s exactly what one woman thought until she asked what her sister would be wearing to her nuptials and discovered it was basically a dress from Beyoncé’s tour with side splits and plenty of cleavage.

Taking to Reddit to ask if she had overreacted, the 26-year-old wrote: “My 28-year-old sister and I were raised in a liberal home where we were allowed to wear anything or nothing at home. My sister has always dressed very skimpily and I didn’t mind because I was used to it at home.

“This time I am feeling a type of way because my wedding will be in February 2024 and my sister, who is also one of the bridesmaids, has shown me what she intends to wear. I was shocked, to say the least. The dress shows clearly that she’s not wearing a bra or pants because it has a slit up to her waist and her back and chest are barely covered.

“I’m uncomfortable with her being around other people especially my fiancé and his family looking like that. My parents see nothing wrong with her outfit. I told her if she doesn’t find a different more decent dress, then she is no longer one of the bridesmaids and she’s not invited to my wedding anymore.”

The bride-to-be said her sister got very angry at her and said she was being unfair and that she had no right to control what people wore. She also pointed out that the bride had let all the bridesmaids pick whatever design they wanted as long as they stuck to the colours she had given.

She went on: “The colour is okay but the design makes me feel it’s not appropriate. I don’t want my sister flashing my guests but she called me an a**hole when I disinvited her. Now she and my parents are not talking to me. My fiancé said he has no opinion on it and would go with what I decided.”

In addition to the post, the bride-to-be also shared a photo of what she thinks the dress is similar to. In the pap shot of Beyoncé, the singer can be seen wearing a racy, neon pink, skin-tight, thigh-slit rubber number from her fashion label Ivy Park that she wore for her Renaissance tour earlier this year.

After reading the post, and seeing the photo, people flooded it with more than 3,700 comments. One person joked: “And this is just one reason why people elope. Put your foot down that your sister will not be dressing like she is going to a MTV music awards show-or she will not be in your wedding. Because you are the damn bride, and in this case you can control what your bridal party- and even what guests wear. Even if your parents aren’t talking to you, (or don’t even attend), you can still get married. And your sister can be disinvited if she doesn’t behave. You’re not the a**hole.”

Another reader admitted: “I was picturing something very different in my head and while I was thinking ok… she’s the bride and she can have limits, but maybe she’s being a prude… holy cow! I can’t believe someone wants to arrive to a wedding dressed like that!” And someone else added: “Beyoncé wouldn’t wear that to a wedding! Nope, your sister is entitled and crazy.”
