Truth no bride will admit about Kylie Jenner's wedding guest move

When Kylie Jenner stepped out at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, she knew exactly what she was doing.
Her plunging, corsetted 'icy blue' dress (which, to anyone with eyes, is white) was destined for a million paparazzi photos and a thousand online debates.
In the age of Instagram, every celebrity outing is an opportunity to make a statement, and the Bezos-Sanchez wedding was no exception. It was all about the spectacle.
Jenner's bride-adjacent outfit felt intentional and designed to go viral – and it did.
Social media erupted.
Vogue 's Instagram post of the look was flooded with comments like, 'Who the f**k wears white to a wedding?' Others called it 'tacky' and said, 'You can't buy class'.
One commenter asked, 'Has Kylie never been to a wedding before?'
Now, you might think this is a trivial matter about rich people and fashion faux pas. And it is. But as someone who got married this year, I can tell you the personal toll a move like this can take.
At my April wedding, which, surprisingly, didn't cause an entire Italian city to grind to a halt and was not attended by the Kardashian-Jenner clan, one of my friends wore cream.
I know what you're thinking. Cream isn't white. And you're right. But it was close enough to cause a double-take in photos.
I gently let her know it made me uncomfortable, but she insisted it 'wasn't white,' so it wasn't going to be an issue.
And while, yes, it technically wasn't white, it did make me wonder why, out of all the colours in the world, she had to pick that dress.
Here's the thing. In this day and age, many wedding guests, whether they're Kylie Jenner or my friend, seem to forget the basics of wedding etiquette.
They get caught up in the moment, in what they're wearing, in how they will look in photos.
And I get it. Weddings are a rare chance to dress up, to be seen, and frankly, to look hot.
But somewhere along the way, the unspoken rule of 'don't wear white' has been forgotten.
In fear of being labelled a 'bridezilla', I let the issue go and didn't say anything more about it.
When the big day arrived, I was so caught up in the excitement of getting married that I hardly noticed or cared what anyone else was wearing.
I was too busy laughing, dancing, and trying not to make ugly crying faces as I walked down the aisle (I didn't quite succeed at that last one).
But in the months afterwards, a sour taste lingered whenever I thought about that cream dress.
It wasn't really about the dress itself – it was about the fact that, out of all the possible outfits, my friend chose to flirt with crossing the line, and even after I told her I wasn't okay with it, she persisted.
And while everyone told me I was being petty to care, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was about more than just the dress.
You really don't understand until you're a bride, groom, or anyone planning a wedding, for that matter.
You (hopefully) only get one day in your life where everything is about you.
When a friend, who could quite literally wear anything to your wedding, chooses to push boundaries with their outfit, it makes you wonder: why?
Is it an innocent choice, or a subtle power play?
In the words of Succession, 'Was this a snubbing?!'
My friend told me it was the only dress she could find that made her feel confident, and while I want her to feel her best, surely, there's a wedding pecking order in terms of who deserves to feel the best.
I even worry I seem vain for discussing this. But the comments on Vogue 's post validate me, suggesting that for most people, wearing white to a wedding is still a big no-no.
If we give Jenner the benefit of the doubt and assume Sanchez approved her outfit, I'm still baffled as to why she chose to make a statement at that moment, on someone else's special day.
But honestly, maybe I shouldn't be that surprised.
For celebrities, controversy is just another form of publicity, and maybe Sanchez was even in on it to create more buzz for the wedding, not that it needed it.
But for the rest of us, it can feel more like a personal slight.
So, if you're invited to a wedding soon, please, please, please, think twice about wearing pale colours.
You might just make someone feel a little less special on their big day.
