Wearing white at her daughter's funeral


Her ego is monstrous!

How so?

It's not her ego, it's her Politics that are Monsterous and vile. Also, not everyone feels compfortable wearing black, even at Funerals.

Having to be the centre of attention, even when they are saying goodbye to her deceased daughter

What lame reasoning, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I think she wore white to CELEBRATE her lovely daughter's spirit. WHen my father died I wore a dress with a brown top and the bottom had 4 different animal prints of fur (NOT real!!) It was to celebrate my father's love of animals and nature. I am sure a lot of people who did not know me well might have thought it was disrepectful, but it was just the opposite. EVERYONE grieves differently and unitl YOU go through a horrific loss of a loved one, I would refrain from making assumptions.

Do you believe in destiny?

It may have already happened

I agree, everybody grieves differently. I think it's jumping to conclusions to say she had attention-seeking motivations for wearing white. My friend's father died when she was 13 and she wore a really bright rainbow jumper to the funeral, as I recall most people there were in colours. A lot of people deliberately don't wear black because they think it's too miserable.

reply

You can't be serious! My dad died young and left instructions that my mother was to wear a bright blue dress that he loved, not the black he hated, and to play Strauss waltzes at the gathering after the service. Some of the family were horrified but that was a long time ago, I thought had moved past such nonsense.

Please... she's Vanessa Redgrave, she doesn't need to dress white at her daughter's funeral to catch attention to herself. What a cold and ignorant remark.
