BAFTA luvvies left outraged at Kate Middleton snub of feminist campaign
 

BAFTA luvvies fumed at Kate Middleton last night for failing to wear black to back their campaign highlighting sex harassment.

But the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge instead wore a green Jenny Packham gown — prompting gasps among actors and film executives on the red carpet.

There was complete silence and no applause when 36-year-old Kate entered London’s Royal Albert Hall alongside Bafta president husband Prince William, 35.

Insiders believe Kate, who had a black bag and whose £3,000 dress had black detailing with a black sash around the waist, chose to opt out to avoid being seen as political.

But one guest at the showbiz bash demanded: “How is supporting equality for women political?”

Another said loudly: “She shouldn’t have bothered turning up if she couldn’t wear black.”

Viewers watching at home were also unimpressed.

They took to social media to share their views on Kate’s fashion decisions.

One wrote: “Disappointed in #KateMiddleton #DuchessofCambridge not wearing black to the #EEBAFTAs. It’s not a political thing. It’s a woman thing! #TimesUp #StandTogether.”

Another tweeted: “How does Kate not feel any shame sitting right at the front with a green dress while every other woman is wearing black.

Neither did the Best Actress


Queens of not being luvvie sheep


:clap1:

Shameful behaviour!

How is anything ever going to change if Kate Middleton wears green???

She’s set us back years

Ridiculous.
To think you have to wear a black dress to show support is silly.

How stupid are they? she wore a black sash,just because her dress was not black doesn't mean she doesn't have sympathy for their cause ,isn't it against royal protocol to wear black unless it's for a funeral ? but whatever,Kate looked stunning and these people need to stop being so bloody precious.

FFS the key is in the word "campaign". Is the world genuinely becoming more stupid or something? Do people REALLY not understand that the term "political" refers to all sorts of things, and doesn't just have to refer to domestic politics / government? All campaigns are "politics"... it doesn't matter what they're about... and the Royals are supposed to stay neutral. (Although some of them are quite bad at that already).

I find the whole wearing black thing a bit stupid

Good on Kate and Frances McDormand, you don't need to wear black to be a part of the movement, ridiculous

What a non-story. The Sun didn't even had any attributable quotes to back it up. The rag is stirring up the sh*t and the usual suspects are falling for it and foaming at the mouth.
Everybody knows it's royal protocol to stay above ANY campaigns. If anything she went as far as she could with the outfit to show her support.
Move on, nothing to see here. Some rags like the Sun will never learn. I guess they must hate women asserting their rights.

:clap2:

er its in all the papers not just the sun


:hehe:

A terribly written article that is meant to create a narrative instead of reporting on what happened.

Nobody was expecting Kate to wear black, it's Royal protocol to not get involved in political matters.

A lot of rags try to create their own narratives, it's what makes them rags.

What even the esteemed Northwich Guardian?

Pretty much this :clap1:.

It's turned into a cult of following sheep if they're expecting every single woman to wear black :bored: . If they want to then fair enough but don't expect everyone to do the same , plus by sounds of it Kate was still wearing a bit of black anyway .

They weren't told they have to.

They were asked if they would. No different to any other "statement" made by campaigns.

I find this really weird. I don't watch the BAFTAs, but do people usually get huge applause? I cannot believe that people would purposely stay silent due to her clothing choice, especially a large audience. I just cannot see it happening :S

One person...I don't get how thats news
Its not unusual for people to tweet rubbish about stuff either tbh.

Basically, the only bit that may be newsworthy is the apparent stony silence when she entered. and I really cannot see a large crowd all refusing to applaud or whatever because of this. Most of the crowd would surely not even know about this 'campaign'?! Or disagree with it..and as such would pay no notice to the colour of her clothes :umm2:


Also possibly this.

Aside from a few of the speeches I thought it was quite a dull ceremony. All the attempts at humour fell flat.

Kind of showed also how much actors need their screenwriters, directors and editors.

Thing is, nobody fumed or were outraged.

Did you expect them to enact a blockbuster movie for you? :joker:

It's an awards ceremony, unless you're in the audience and are part of the teams that made the movies that are being celebrated of course it's dull.

I don't know why they're televised tbh. I can't even watch the Oscars.

:joker:

These people don't understand the word "politics" and think it just refers to voting in Presidents and Prime Ministers.

Why does wearing a certain colour of clothing have to show how somebody thinks or feels?

Sick of all these luvvies


Comin over ear


Telling us what to wear


Why don’t they f’k off ome and wear black if that’s what they wanna do

They don't. It was a means to make a statement and show unison.

This isn't a new thing for campaigns. Why does a man need to dress as batman and stand on Buckingham Palace to see his child? He doesn't, but it makes a public statement.

However, they haven't condemned those who for whatever reason didn't take part. It's the media sh*t stirring as always.

Like, they even tried to invent some feud between Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Lawrence ffs. :joker::joker:

Taking anything that is written in the sun seriously,,,,

If this is actually what happened tho lol how silly stuff like this is the reason less and less people are taking this **** seriously

Anyone getting their panties in a wad over the colour of Kate's dress really need to get a life.

And she still had some black with her handbag and belt :shrug:, so why don't people stop moaning. It wasn't mandatory :facepalm:.

Why are these celebrities highjacking these sexual harrasment movements? They're the people that's been covering it up for years.

Erm..... they're the ones that started the movement love.

Time's Up is precisely about the film industry.

So why are they preaching to us? Just lock up Weinstein and anyone else who's been party to this.

Because actors aren't law enforcers, obviously and sexual harassment and gender equality doesn't just happen in the bubble that is Hollywood.

They're not politicians either. As you say they're actors.

People watch these self patting on the back award ceromanies to celebrate film, not to be lectured that all men are sex pests, by a group of people who have known about these goings on for years, but have only spoke out about it when it's come out.

Eh? You have to be a politician to campaign for equality and not to be sexually harassed? :conf:

They haven't said all men are sex pests. In fact, several men have also come forward with their tales of rape and harassment.

Yes, it's come out, by people in the industry. The predators are in there, but so are the victims. That's the point.

They haven't done anything that has distracted from the award ceremony besides wearing black.

Oprah Wnfrey has had a platform for 30 years to out her good friends like Weinstein. Why only this year did she designate herself spokesperson?

You can trust them if you like, but I don't.

Who said Winfrey was spokesperson?

It's the people like Rose McGowan, who were actually raped, that have exposed it.

And you have evidence of Winfrey knowing he raped girls I take it?

Winfrey is the richest and most powerful person in the Hollywood scene. Do you deep down think that she was oblvious for 30 years to what was going on?

That the casting couch existed, casual sexism, sex in exchange for work? No, just like everyone else in the world she knew what was happening.

Do I think she knew of specific men committing actual rape and kept her mouth shut about it? I'm not so sure.

Oprah was a victim of abuse herself are people forgetting that??? . It wasn't at the hands of Weinstein but she still knows what it feels like.

But that doesn't necessarily mean she knew what was going on , and like you say casting couch has been happening in hollywood for a long time and it was accepted or people just didn't bat an eye lid. Now years later its seen as sexual harassment .

And someone as big as Weinstein who has power and influence will of used alot of women who wanted to get their big break as actresses. So it was probably obvious in the hollwood circle that Weinstein was a sleazebag but again how many of them actually knew the full extent of it ? .

I'm not Kate Middleton's biggest fan but this is clearly an overreaction.

Imo this MeToo movement should only be about sexual harassment claims, I don't get why it is getting twisted into something that it shouldn't be about which is a women's only club? I mean didn't the actor who played Tom from Parks & Recreation get mentioned on one of these claims just because he didn't give out good sex to the woman? It just feels like it's getting out of hand in my view and is changing to something that it wasn't even supposed to be about considering men and women have been sexually harassed in these claims.

Tbf without evidence Oprah would've probably been in alot of trouble for defamation.

Bet they are ragin at the gays for pinching pink.
