AN INFLUENCER has been slammed for an “extremely inappropriate” wedding guest dress that will “upstage the bride”.
Not only did many hail the frock “a solid no for a wedding” but the young woman even admitted the back of the dress was so low you could see her knickers.
A content creator has left fashion fans gobsmacked by her wedding guest dress that will “upstage the bride”tiktok@ellena_fitNot only this, but people hailed it as “extremely inappropriate” and even claimed it gave “all eyes on me” vibestiktok@ellena_fitInstagram/@ellena_fitEven Ellena’s Love Island boyfriend wasn’t a fan of the dress[/caption]
Users thought the frock was more appropriate “for a holiday”Instagram/@ellena_fit
As she posed in a hotel room, the content creator said: “I’m going to a wedding today, so let’s get dressed – I’ve got this dress which I actually rented from HURR, however, I have had the biggest drama with this dress and I just hope it’s all worth it.”
As her Love Island boyfriend did up the backless dress, she asked: “Can you see my pants?” to which he simply confirmed: “Yeah.”
After admitting that she would have to “take off” her knickers to avoid them being on show, Ellena then gave her followers a close-up look at the cut-out frock and beamed: “This is the dress – it’s very different to what I would normally wear, but I thought it was cute and very wedding vibes.”
Ellena then exposed the nightmare she had with the designer dress, which is originally from pricey brand Zimmermann, but she rented from HURR – the UK’s leading rental and resale fashion marketplace.
She acknowledged that not only did the dress arrive late, but when she opened it, she realised it had been worn and claimed it “absolutely stunk.”
Despite the mishap, Ellena, who runs her own online coaching service and has built an impressive following, including 403,000 Instagram followers and 52,000 YouTube subscribers, paired the dress with a strappy set of white heels and a small clutch bag.
Ellena, who also has her own recipe app, Ell-Evate, then continued: “Kieran absolutely hates it, I think it’s quite cute, it’s quite different. I love the back. I think the back is the moment.”
Ellena’s boyfriend Kieran, the reality star who made his bid for romance in the Mallorca villa back in 2018 and then met Ellena just before lockdown in 2020, then rated the dress a 6.5 out of 10.
Not only this, but he also confessed: “I’m not a big fan of the dress but you look good in it.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ellena_fit, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 156,000 views.
It also amassed 1,718 likes and 468 comments, with many fashion enthusiasts left stunned by the short frock.
Not for a wedding. The day should be focused on the bride!!
TikTok user
One person said: “A solid NO for a wedding.”
Another added: “The dress is giving “trying to upstage the bride” vibes, “all eyes on me”.”
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream – even if it’s not.
Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
Wearing white is a massive no-no if you’re not the bride.
A third commented: “It’s a showstopper for sure, especially at the back. I’d only wear it if you hate the bride and want to steal her thunder.”
Meanwhile, someone else slammed: “Not for a wedding. The day should be focused on the bride!!”
The bride is a close friend and was fully aware of what I was wearing and it was perfectly ok
But that wasn’t all, as another woman recognised: “That’s for a holiday. Not for a wedding at all.”
In response to the negative response from trolls, Ellena later wrote back on the “dress that apparently divided TikTok” and penned: “I’m glad I’ve got thick skin because you were all brutal with your comments.
“Also… the bride is a close friend and was fully aware of what I was wearing and it was perfectly ok.”

A FUNDRAISER has been set up for an 85-year-old woman who was left homeless after her thatched cottage was destroyed in a fire.
English woman Margaret Adams was living the good life in her lovely picturesque little home near Inch, Killeagh in East Cork with her rescue donkeys, dogs and ducks.
GoFundMeShe was living the good life in her picturesque little home near Inch in East Cork[/caption]
GoFundMeBut disaster struck on the morning of March 20 when a fire broke out[/caption]
GoFundMeA friend said the dogs are the pride and joy of the kind-hearted pensioner[/caption]
But disaster struck on the morning of March 20 when a fire broke out and the inferno spread so quickly the pensioner was lucky to escape with her life.
Margaret, who moved to Ireland from the UK two decades ago, was rescued from the burning cottage and her beloved dogs Misty and Freddie were saved by a neighbour.
Her friend Bernie Fleming said the dogs are the pride and joy of the kind-hearted pensioner.
Fortunately, her other animals were not in the cottage when the fire started.
But Bernie said Margaret lost all of her other possessions.
She said: “Everything she ever owned. All her memories are gone. It was a terrible ordeal for her.”
As Margaret has no relatives in Ireland she went back to the UK to her brother temporarily but she now wants to return to her own place again.
To add to her misfortunes, she had no insurance on her lovely traditional home because it was a thatched house and the company she was previously with weren’t covering homes with thatch anymore.
Bernie said: “Margaret, at her age, cannot afford to rebuild the house so she is hoping to get a mobile home for which she has only a tiny budget.
“This is far from ideal for Margaret at at almost 86 years of age, plus health issues.”
‘DEAREST WISH’
She said Margaret has been hospitalised a few times in the past year.
Now Bernie has set up a GoFundMe page to try and raise funds to get a “good mobile home” with heating, double glazing and possibly insulation for her elderly friend.
She said: “It is going to be very difficult and so very sad for her when she returns again to the ruins of what was once her beautiful home.”
All local people want to do is raise funds to get Margaret a little place where she can feel “comfortable and happy again” with her beloved dogs as it is her “dearest wish” to get back to them.
Bernie said “I’m really appealing please to your generosity and kindness for any few euros at all you can afford to help get Margaret a little place where she will feel comfortable and happy again in due course with her little dogs, as it’s her dearest wish to get back to them.
To date over €7,000 has been raised but the more money that’s received the better Margaret’s new home will be.

Something’s afoot on the set of Millie Bobby Brown’s latest Sherlock Holmes spin–off Enola Holmes — and it’s not been pretty.
I’m told that after the cast and crew headed to Malta for filming, the set descended into chaos after a bit of dodgy catering wiped some of them out with food poisoning.
GettyMillie Bobby Brown and the cast of Enola Holmes were wiped out by food poisoning[/caption]
�2020 Legendary, All rights reserved.Millie’s first two films as Enola for Netflix proved to be massive hits, with the first in 2020 being watched in 76 million households in the first four weeks alone[/caption]
My mole said: “Millie and her co-stars were in the middle of filming when people started to get sick.
“It’s a nightmare because these productions run to such tight schedules and filming had to be stopped.
“There were a fair few affected and it meant everything had to grind to a halt until they got better.
“It ended up being a bout of food poisoning which is just really unfortunate. Luckily it wasn’t anything too serious and everyone recovered but it put pressure on them in terms of hitting deadlines.”
Millie confirmed she was returning as Enola, the younger sister of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous fictional character Sherlock, earlier this year.
Henry Cavill is back in place as the consulting detective, while Himesh Patel is in as his sidekick Dr Watson and Louis Partridge resumes his role as Enola’s love interest Viscount Tewkesbury.
Helena Bonham Carter is reprising her role as Eudoria Holmes and Sharon Duncan-Brewster is continuing as the evil Moriarty.
Millie’s first two films as Enola for Netflix proved to be massive hits, with the first in 2020 being watched in 76 million households in the first four weeks alone.
She confirmed they would be starting the film this spring, with the production taking place in London and Malta, where the third instalment is set.
According to the latest blurb put out by Netflix to hype up the movie, Millie’s Enola will be seen tackling another mystery, in Malta, where she is “flung into a nest of vipers”.
I doubt the plot twist of them coming down with the tom t*ts will make the final cut.
Thigh oh my, Ciara

The Goodies singer was seen in New York in the out-there outfit with friends.

Ciara is no stranger to pushing the boundaries with her clobber and previously said: “Fashion’s important for me as an artist – it gives me so much opportunity and range to express myself, and I do feel my most confident self when I’m wearing pieces that I love.
“As you put on a look that you love, it does something to you.”

Janet’s bit Of Rauw right
Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro got the seal of approval from Janet Jackson when he headlined London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday.
She shared a string of Instagram stories and called him “sexy”, before heading backstage to meet and be pictured with him.

Will’s not In tune to Madge
Madonna collaborator William Orbit has slammed her upcoming remix album, Veronica Electronica.
The record, out next month, features rare and unreleased remixes from her hit Ray Of Light album, which he produced.

The record, released in 1998, was seen as a pivotal moment for them both – but he’s not happy about the reworking.
He said: “The whole thing felt like a knock-off. It’s not, that’s just my personal impression. But given how much the Ray of Light album has meant to so many of us, there could be something really wonderful.
“It would be great if the person at the label who selected these tracks stood up. With a rebuttal for some rigorous debate.”
Ouch.
Over to you, Madge.
Skye’s no limit for Ekin-Su
Ekin-Su Culculoglu swapped her heels for a pair of walking boots to complete a fundraising trek across the Isle of Skye in Scotland for charity CoppaFeel.
She finished the 100km trek today after five days of walking, which included tackling peaks of more than 3,000ft.

It was for a good cause, as CoppaFeel is a youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity that encourages us all to check our boobs.
The former Love Islander, left, told me she was looking forward to “experiencing something unforgettable” and I can imagine she didn’t mean the aches and pains she and her fellow trekkers Candice Brown and Giovanna Fletcher are no doubt feeling right now.

Denise lives her dream
Denise Van Outen has landed her biggest DJ set to date after bagging herself a slot at Glastonbury festival.
Insiders have told us that the telly presenter will be spinning the decks for fans at a secret location on Worthy Farm next week.
GettyDenise Van Outen has landed her biggest DJ set to date after bagging herself a slot at the Glastonbury festival[/caption]
A source said: “Denise has made a real name for herself as a DJ and she’s been booked for gigs all over the world but to play Glastonbury is a dream come true.
“She is planning a really nostalgic set with loads of Nineties hits that will get everyone dancing.”
Back in 2023, Denise began hosting what she described as an “inclusive party” called Discoliscious with her best pal Jemma Bolt, which they have held up and down the UK.
The ex-Big Breakfast host said: “I think a lot of music from then has really stood the test of time, and I guess a lot of people that were out partying in the Nineties, we are at an age now where perhaps we’ve had kids and started families – and you reminisce about the time when you were young, free and single and just having a really good time.”
She added: “When I DJ, I don’t party. I’m watching everybody else partying. I get a buzz from playing the music, but I’m not out having a wild time like maybe I did when I was younger.”
Trust me, Denise, once you get a whiff of the toilets you’ll be necking a medicinal gin and tonic faster than you can say, “That stinks”.
McFlying In on their motorbikes
Obviously there’s no better week to get back into the studio than when the weather is scorching hot.
And while most of us are sunning ourselves outside, the McFly boys have started work on new music ahead of their upcoming tour.

The lads are fitting in the sessions around their live dates, with concerts in Gloucestershire and Southampton this weekend before they kick off their Busted Versus McFly tour in Birmingham on September 16.
Their seventh studio, Power To Play, went to No2 when they released it two years ago – and I’ve no doubt McFly are cooking up some more magic right now.
Didn’t bring Hus down
“Anything I do, you know I do it major,” J Hus raps on the title track to the album Big Conspiracy, which he is celebrating the fifth anniversary of with a one-off gig.
That feels true, with tickets for the Royal Albert Hall concert selling out in seconds when they went on sale last month and an orchestra now ready and waiting on stage for his grand return.
GettyJ Hus’ wowed the crowd at the Royal Albert Hall[/caption]
It has been years since he played a headline set and when he emerges, he is full of beans. But he seems frantic as he races through songs and jumps around the stage.
The crowd lap it up, excited to be in the presence of one of the best British rappers for years, and when J, right, does lock in, his verses are immaculate.
Big Conspiracy won him Best Male at the 2021 Brits in 2021, but the fans go wild when tracks from his debut Common Sense are performed. But Hus has disappeared backstage and it is a backing vocalist rapping in his place.
J Hus is overflowing with talent and could put on an incredible show. I’m really hoping this gig has persuaded him to do just that.

SHOCKING video shows the son of pop megastar Cher standing in a “zombie-like” state, high on drugs before he was rushed to hospital.
Other disturbing footage obtained by The Sun shows Elijah Blue Allman carrying drugs wrapped in tin foil into an AirBnb before the suspected heroin overdose.
Elijah Blue Allman is seen receiving treatment after being found in a “zombie-like” stateHe took a cocktail of heroin and fentanyl, the Sun was toldHe was found standing “statue still” in the front yard in a “foggy, zombie-like” stateElijah Allman and Kayti Edwards at dinner days before his drugs episode
Witnesses say troubled Elijah, 48, Cher’s youngest son, was badly sunburned and had swollen hands and feet as he stood motionless in the searing 104 degree heat in Joshua Tree, California.
A video, caught on a Ring security camera earlier that day, appears to show a dishevelled Elijah unsteady on his feet as he carries his drug haul in from the car.
He was dressed scruffily in blue shorts and a dirty white t-shirt, and was unshaven, with unkempt hair.
The Sun can reveal the house is owned by his close pal and former Matthew Perry girlfriend, Kayti Edwards.
Elijah went on a binge in the AirBnb and took a cocktail of heroin and fentanyl, a potent opioid drug, before paramedics were alerted, a close source told The Sun.
Cops searched the property after he was taken to hospital and in photos seen by The Sun, heroin and white fentanyl powder are seen sprawled across a side-table next to rolled up paper.
The powder appeared to have been “chopped up” and snorted on the back of an iPhone.
Cops subsequently stuck a “danger” notice to the front window of the AirBnB warning of the presence of fentanyl.
While news reports claim Elijah was taken to hospital for a suspected overdose, friends have described the incident more as a drug-induced episode.
They say Elijah, who has a history of substance abuse, desperately needs help.
Kayti, 48, told pals she was at the property on Saturday afternoon to check on Elijah after his behaviour had spiralled out of control in the days before.
And on arrival she found him standing “statue still” in the front yard in a “foggy, zombie-like” state.
A friend said: “Kayti found him just standing there, unresponsive in her front yard, getting badly sunburned.
“He was blinking his eyes rapidly, but didn’t acknowledge her at all. “His hands and feet were also swollen, with scabs turning black, an affect of the drugs, that was what most concerned Kayti.”
Paramedics were called and arrived on scene with police officers from San Bernardino Police Department – as is standard with drug call outs.
The officers later executed a search warrant at the property and left a warning notice stating they had found fentanyl at the property.
The pal said: “Even the paramedics couldn’t get through to Elijah when they arrived, he was just stood there staring into space for around ten minutes.
“Kayti had to convince him to snap out of it and to get on the stretcher and get some medical help.”

They added: “Elijah had been staying at Kayti’s AirBnb for over a week by that point, he arrived on June 6.
“They’re old friends and he reached out and told her he needed to get out of LA and needed a place to stay.
“She met with him and took him out for dinner with her family and he stayed at a house she rents out, but she grew more and more worried about his odd behaviour.
“She’d known he had issues with drugs in the past but thought he was finally clean, but it quickly became apparent that wasn’t the case, it’s all very sad.”
Pal Kayti, the granddaughter of screen legend Julie Andrews, had already lost her ex Matthew Perry to a drug overdose in October, 2023, and feared the same would happen to Elijah.
The friend said: “He’s had drug problems for years and Kayti had supported him in the past as he tried to get clean.
“She was really worried about him when she saw what state he was in.”
In a statement given to The Sun, pal Kayti said: “Elijah and I have been close since we were teens.
Elijah and Cher are pictured in 2002
“Although the whole thing that happened was really scary for me it could have been a lot worsened I am glad he’s in a safe spot getting better.”
Pals fears Elijah’s troubling condition may have been down to the heroin he took being laced with Xylazine – a powerful veterinary tranquilliser which can slow breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure to dangerously low levels.
Xylazine has become increasingly popular on the US drug scene, as has Fentanyl which he also took.
Fentanyl is the potent opioid drug which has infuriated President Trump who sparked a trade war with China, Mexico and Canada, accusing them of doing very little to stem the flow of the drug in the US.
Last night Elijah was still being treated in hospital, but it’s understood he has been transferred to a private facility in Pasadena.
His famous mum Cher is said to be focused on getting him the help he needs and rallying around him, according to a source.
A spokesperson for San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said: “Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically.
“When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel.”
“Deputies located drugs inside the home and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing.”
Elijah’s drug history is well known.
His hospitalisation comes a year and a half after his hitmaker mum Cher was denied her request to be granted a conservatorship over her son.
Cher was concerned that funds given to Elijah from his trust would be “immediately spent on drugs,” according to legal documents.
A judge ruled there was “insufficient evidence” and denied the request without prejudice.
In response to the petition, Elijah acknowledged his struggles “with addiction” and admitted he “spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible.”
But he said he was under a doctor’s care and had been attending AA meetings at the time.
“I recently passed a drug test and am willing to submit to future drug tests,” he added in the documents.
“I am clean and sober from illicit substances for over 90 days now and am fully capable of and committed to managing the money I receive quarterly from the trust left by my late father.”
Elijah’s dad is Greg Allman, a frontman and co-founder of the Allman Brothers Band and a trailblazer of Southern Rock.
He died in 2017 from liver cancer complications at his home in Savannah, Georgia.
Cher’s other son Chaz Bono was the product of the singer’s relationship with Sonny Bono.
She and Sonny performed together as Sonny & Cher before they split in 1974.

CORONATION Street hunk Sam Robertson has a signed a new contract to keep him on the soap until next year.
The actor – who plays Adam Barlow in the ITV soap – put pen to paper to secure his future on the cobbles.
instagram/@scottishsamuelfanCorrie’ star Sam Robertson has signed a new contract[/caption]
ITVHe first began playing Adam Barlow in 2004[/caption]
PAThe character has featured in hard-hitting storylines[/caption]
Sam, 39, initially starred as Adam from 2004 until 2007 – having taken over from Iain de Caestecker.
He reprised the role in 2016 and has remained part of Corrie’s ensemble cast ever since.
ITV insiders told The Sun that Sam’s new contract option takes him up to November 2026.
Viewers most recently saw Adam on-screen in March – where he told girlfriend Alya Nazir that she couldn’t work at his firm.
Taking notice of his absence, fans soon took to X, formerly Twitter.
One wrote: “Where’s Adam Barlow May I ask?
” Last seen onscreen 7th March 2025. Somebody do something.”
Another added: “I noticed that, maybe he will be back on screen soon, hopefully he isn’t a character that’s going to get axed x.”
While a third shared: “You’d think with all the criminals on the street currently there would be a few scenes of him representing clients and inside his office?”
Despite this time off-screen, fans now need not worry about Adam’s future on the soap.
Since returning from Canada in 2016 to look after his grandfather Ken Barlow (William Roache) following his stroke, Adam has become a prominent solicitor for the locals of Weatherfield.
Around the same time, he was one of the central suspects to attempted murder after Ken was pushed down the stairs.
1960-1968 – Whilst the Coronation Street set remained on Quay Street for 53 years, it actually had three separate studio sites. The first was an entirely indoor wooden set which was used for the first eight years of filming. This encompassed a replica of the Street built entirely indoors. The set was known to be awkward for actors to use and the houses brought to three quarter scale.
1968-1982 – In 1968, the addition of an outdoor set was created to adjoin the existing indoor set which was still used for filming right up until 1982. The set was used only when required with many of the show’s cast reportedly hating it and describing it as ‘the coldest place on Earth’.
1982-2013 – A brand new set was officially constructed in 1982 and was almost built fully to scale but still only permitted for one car to drive down the cobbled street. The house were purpose-built using reclaimed Salford brick in order to give it the most authentic feel possible. During these years, some of the show’s buildings were adapted to allow for both interior and exterior filming at the same time. These locations included Elliott’s Butchers, Barlow’s Buys, Prima Doner and Webster’s Autos. The final scenes to be recorded on this site occurred in December 2013. By early 2014, it began operating as a tourist attraction for around two years before ultimately being demolished and re-purposed in 2017.
2014-present – In early 2014, the show’s set moved to the TV hub of the North – MediaCityUK in nearby Salford Quays. It is now located a stone’s throw from major TV studio Dock 10 as well as the BBC’s base in the North – home to Blue Peter, Newsround, BBC Breakfast and BBC Sport. The new set was even bigger and built to 9/10 the scale of a real street and allowed for two card to be travelling down the road at opposite sides for the very first time. The site has even undergone major expansions during its 10 years. Just four years after opening in 2018, a brand new set extension was unveiled which introduced viewers to Victoria Gardens for the first time in its history. The Weatherfield North tram stop also became visible as did a series of shops which became used as part of product placement advertising deals. Brands to have been seen on the Street so far include a Co-Op, a Costa Coffee and a branch of Hay’s Travel. Four years later in 2022, another brand new set was unveiled, this time being the heavily mentioned Weatherfield Precinct. It became the first time in 62 years that the area had ever been seen on screens. It fearued a variety of shop fronts, a playground and a number of small flats which have begun to house more and more residents on the street in recent months.
Last July, The Sun told how Sam had signed a new contract to keep him on the soap for another year.
A source said at the time: “Everyone was so happy Sam agreed to stay another year – they’ve got some good storylines in the pipeline for his character so it’s going to be an exciting year.”
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
