I would be embarrassed turning up at a black tie event with him dressed like that. The only slight positive is that he had his greasy man bun chopped off a few weeks ago. What a schlump.
Less said about Alex's outfit the better.

What’s with those outfits?! Chris’s tie grey shirt and shoes?! They don’t even match never mind consider them suitable for a black tie event
Those outfits really do look very last minute. And certainly not what you would expect from a self proclaimed fashion stylist/editor.
These two always seem to struggle as fully fledged adults. They seem stuck in a student time warp.
ETA: we are clearly all thinking the same here

In what world is that black tie??? I was expecting evening dress and tux!
This is exactly it. They look like the types that bite directly into a block of cheese??
As someone who is a self proclaimed careful shopper, outfit repeater and is supposed to only wear clothes that work hard for her how can she not have a black dress? Or even a black trouser suit she could jazz up with some sparkly heels.. I mean... all the clothes she has/buys
If it was that last minute I prob wouldn't go cos I'd feel I was only invited to make up the numbers anyway!

Sorry to barge in - I usually lurk here but can’t help myself. I own that dress, and it was about £30 just before lockdown was announced in 2020, so very frugal. I’ve worn it loads with eg DM boots and tights, or bare legs and trainers, and I’m sure I will be in it again once it warms up a bit. But really, black tie? No.
Nothing wrong with the dress at all, I have similar ones that are also from H&M and I have had for years too ooh were frugal like Alex now
.. . but she makes a living out of telling people how to dress.. I think no one needs to be told if you can't think of what to wear you can't go wrong with a classic black dress and accessories even for black tie..It’s a great dress - but it’s a great dress for going out for a big lunch or a comfy work day. Surely if you are #kindlygifted all the things that’s not the best you can do for black tie!Nothing wrong with the dress at all, I have similar ones that are also from H&M and I have had for years too ooh were frugal like Alex now
‘We were both invited to a last minute black tie event’.
Unlikely the event was last minute but more likely that their invite was. Maybe they had to make up numbers

I’m just trying to imagine the conversation that preceded their invite:‘We were both invited to a last minute black tie event’.

“Oh noes, Tarquin and Jocasta have cancelled! Is there anyone we can invite at the last minute?”
“How about Alex and that dopey husband of hers?”
“Hmm. All right then but don’t expect a gift beyond cheap candles, sit downwind of him and for godsake lock up any leftovers!”
Definitely stealing this, I laughed out loud as it’s spot on!

She looks bad but he looks worse… oddly the suit is ok (surely you’re less likely to own a tux than a white shirt, nice tie and black shoes?) but the shoes are HEINOUS and the skinny tie and casual shirt (the BUTTONS on the collar
?!) are just screaming Topman circa 2010.Didn't she do one of those rent a statement dress things before or am I imagining it? That would totally have been the sensible thing to do for this - or would she only do that if she wasn't paying?
She said the invite was too last minute to get a rental dress!
She did, for the secretly Californian wedding IIRC and then another time just to float around her kitchen or something.
You’d think as an ex stylist she’d still have mates in the industry who would be able to lend her something from a press room or a fashion cupboard for the evening? As for him, you can easily rent a tux on the day. I bet they just went for the free food
So this may be outing myself but I own 2-3 dresses that would be suitable for black tie and I’m not even a “fashionista” like Alex
