Boris Johnson

Former prime minister Boris and wife Carrie were among the many politicians attending the Queens funeral.

@chloemetzger asked: “That’s what Carrie Johnson wore to a state funeral? Carrie wore a black floor-length gown with military-style button detail and a square low neckline. However ITV viewers watching the live broadcast at home weren’t pleased with her choice of outfit as they claimed it was too ‘inappropriate’ for the occasion. Former prime minister Boris and Carrie were among the many politicians that are attending the elaborate event. @HalcyonNash asked: “WTF is Carrie Johnson wearing?” @BootlegChzcakes said: “Well, Carrie Johnson has great style but I think her majesty would consider that neckline *a little bit* too low for a funeral.” @ladyjazmana Tweeted: “Carrie Johnson’s neckline is a bit low cut for a funeral.”
