Influencer slammed for wearing ‘hideous’ dress to fashion show
Dress to impress — or not.
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.
