White gown to someone else's wedding!

The woman in the photo below IS NOT THE BRIDE. She just wore this FLOOR LENGTH WHITE GOWN TO A FRIEND'S WEDDING. Does anyone else find this in ridiculously poor taste ?

    I think it's inconsiderate. I feel like white pants or top is one thing or even a white summer dress but this is a white gown. I would be bitter but I wouldn't let it ruin my day at all

    Agree with PP...wouldn't ruin my day but this is obviously intentional and I'd probably throw some mad shade.

    Yup I would have assumed bride. Like if anyone does it to me, I'll shrug it off, but I do think it's poor etiquette on their part.

    When I was a child, my mom freaked out because I wore a white top to a wedding with a very colorful skirt and, since I packed my own bag, she didn't know about it until we were ready to go. She apologized all over herself to the bride's family and they were just like "nbd, we didn't even notice."

    I think this is one of those things that everyone knows. Like a child in a white top, or someone wearing white pants is borderline. But I think a white dress of any kind is just out of the question. It's rude and inconsiderate.

    Woooow. Nope. It's one thing if it's a white cocktail dress or something casual, but a full length gown? Nope.

    I was joking with a friend the other day because she asked what colors should she wear. My reply "any thing you want except white. If you wear white I will hurt you." and then I smiled she knew I was serious.

    I know someone who actually wore a white formal dress to a wedding intentionally to hurt the bride. I know it was intentional because I heard her say it. Her reason? The bride wore white and was pregnant and she thought to take it upon herself to wear white because the bride should not.

    I don't think I'd notice a white blouse or pants or even a white summery dress or a short dress. But that dress in the photo is bridal. I wouldn't throw a fit, but I'd side eye the hell out of it.

    We had someone wear a white jumpsuit to our wedding and it turned a few heads. She is the wife of one of DH's cousins and she is a major witch and very catty. We were not that surprised that she would do something like that.

    For whatever reason, I've been thinking about the post for the last few hours. It's been bothering me haha.

    OP, is this a friend of the bride? Maybe the MOH and the bride put her in white for some unknown reason? I think I'm trying to justify this stranger's decision making, if only because you just don't wear white to a wedding if you're not the bride. Who raised you?

    Ugh I'm sorry, but I'd probably say something really nasty to this bitch. Because this is obviously nothing other than a majorly bitchy move.
