Mother of the groom slammed for unacceptable wedding outfit

<p dir="ltr">A mother of the groom has been slammed online for wearing a white dress to her son’s wedding: committing a major wedding faux pas. </p> <p dir="ltr">The family photo, which has gone viral, shows the mother wearing “a dress even whiter than the bride’s”, complete with a sheet cape train, a cream hat and corsage. </p> <p dir="ltr">The mum's behaviour was criticised by thousands in a wedding-shaming Facebook group, while others defended the woman, saying she may have had permission for the look beforehand.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Really makes you wonder what in god's name happened with all these mothers-in-law to make them act like their son's wedding is her own wedding,” one person commented.</p> <p dir="ltr">Many claimed the older woman's dress was a clear attempt to upstage the bride, with many saying her outfit was simply unacceptable. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Makes me vomit when I see mothers like this,” a woman said.</p> <p dir="ltr">A second person added, “The cape, the gown, the fascinator... oh, my god. It would have been over the top, but fine if in any other colour. I hope to be as patient as this bride one day.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“I cannot imagine doing this to any woman who decides to marry my son. Like, hon, I of all people know how difficult he can be to live with, may the old gods and the new bless you for your sacrifice,” another joked.</p> <p dir="ltr">“I'm 99 percent sure this wasn't bride-approved as it's white and the bride's dress is ever so slightly off-white. And the bride looks perfect!” a fourth added.</p> <p dir="ltr">A few even claimed someone should have “accidentally” spilled a glass of red wine on the mother's dress.</p> <p dir="ltr">“No way she should have made it to the pictures without someone spilling [wine]. That poor girl,” a woman said.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: Facebook</em></p>

Dating 101: what to wear on a date

<p>Dating and meeting new people are by no means all about looks and what you wear. However, not only will investing a little time in what you wear on a date make you look good, it will also make you feel good and put a positive spring in your step.</p> <p>Firstly, when pondering your outfit for a first date it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s always best to be on the smarter, slightly over-dressed side rather than under dressed. Presenting yourself well is worth it. If you turn up looking like you've just rolled out of bed, you're not likely to make a great first impression. And first impressions count.</p> <p>Here are some wardrobe pointers when deciding on what to wear on a first date:</p> <p><strong>Set the scene</strong><br />One of the most important considerations to keep in mind when selecting an outfit for a date is, where are you going, what will you be doing and what are others there likely to be wearing. It is also worthwhile seeing if there’s a dress code for the venue. You can usually find this on the website for the place or by giving them a quick call. A successful date will come from you feeling comfortable, so it’s important you don’t look, or feel, out of place. For example, you don’t want to wear a suit to a casual, laid-back dinner spot. Or, don running shoes to a fancy restaurant or bar. Fitting in with your surroundings will make you feel comfortable and allow you to relax. Don’t make things more nerve-wracking than they already are.</p> <p><strong>Confidence-boosting ensembles</strong><br />You’d be surprised just how powerful clothes can be in making you feel great. So opt for something you feel good in, as your outfit will impact how confident and natural you feel as well as your comfort levels while on a date. And this works both ways – you’ll want to ensure everything you opt for fits you well and isn’t uncomfortable. New shoes will give you blisters, a top a size too small will make you feel squeezed in, a woollen jumper could overheat your body – all of these things will show in your body language and mood. It’s a good idea to select something that you've worn before and you know makes you feel fantastic as well as attractive.</p> <p><strong>Finishing touches</strong><br />The little finishing touches – like an accessory, a splash of perfume and looking fresh – are not be underestimated. If you’ve had a busy day and you’re going straight from one place to a date, take the time to freshen up – use deodorant, have a breath mint, spritz on a scent and tidy up your hair and outfit. Looking fresh and crisp will help impress your date, but furthermore, feeling fresh will energise you.</p> <p><em>Images: Getty</em></p>

ABC presenter bullied for “distasteful” wardrobe choice

<p dir="ltr">An ABC presenter has been the target of online trolls for her “questionable” choice in outfit.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>ABC News Breakfast</em> host Lisa Millar appeared on Monday morning’s show sporting a multi-coloured blouse and mint-coloured skirt which featured a large split in the front.</p> <p dir="ltr">One outraged viewer wrote on Twitter, “Goodness me Lisa Millar go back to ‘wardrobe’ and change that skirt! You’re on national television.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Another said, “Good morning, darling, what on earth are you wearing, you silly girl.”</p> <p dir="ltr">“Well frankly, I wish Lisa Millar would stop flashing her knees on #breakfastnews because it’s entirely distasteful and unnecessary,” a third person commented.</p> <p dir="ltr">A lot of the criticism came in the form of unwavering misogyny and threats, prompting other Australian media personalities to jump to Millar’s defence.</p> <p dir="ltr">As well as being backed up by her industry colleagues, regular viewers of the show called out the hateful comments for being “too harsh”.</p> <p dir="ltr">One person said, “I just love that as much as the trolls have tried, there seems to be more Twitter users defending Lisa Millar and all women: judge us by our skills and performance and not by our clothes. Amen.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Another disgruntled viewer wrote, “People attacking Lisa Millar today seriously need a new hobby.”</p> <p dir="ltr">Another put it bluntly, saying, “Given the hysterics about Lisa Millar’s skirt, I think we need to sacrifice a misogynist by cracking his head between some strong woman’s knees. That might shut the f***ers up.”</p> <p dir="ltr">It’s not the first time Lisa has been subject to an onslaught of online trolling, as she was bullied off Twitter more than a year ago after a brutal online attack.</p> <p dir="ltr">The host deactivated her Twitter account in September 2021 despite being an avid tweeter and boasting almost 55,000 followers.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>ABC News Breakfast</em> co-host Michael Rowlands confirmed Millar was pulling the plug on her social media account after receiving “next level” and “truly vile distressing personal attacks”.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image credits: ABC / Instagram</em></p>

Aussie tourist criticised for outfit choice while visiting an orphanage in Bali

<p>An Aussie tourist has clapped back at trolls who have criticised her outfit choice while she was visiting an orphanage in Bali.</p> <p>Kelsey Foster, 28, dropped off food at a home for struggling children while she was holidaying on the island. The young woman spent time playing with the children who she said were “nothing but grateful”.</p> <p>Her act of kindness still wasn’t enough to stop critics from targeting her for wearing a plunging top and a skirt to stay cool in the hot and sticky weather.</p> <p>“Next time it would prob be much more respectful to keep your puppies inside your clothes,” one cruel person said.</p> <p>“It’s not something children need to experience at a young age,” another wrote.</p> <p>Ms Foster quickly hit back saying: “Hilarious how quick judgment comes because of what I am wearing,” she wrote.</p> <p>“A swimsuit I had on already from the morning on a 33C day in humidity I am not used to, how dare I?"</p> <p>She explained her outfit choice, saying she had gone snorkelling that morning before her driver recommended stopping at the orphanage nearby.</p> <p>“The children didn’t care what I was wearing. They had the biggest smiles to see all the food and things I took them,” she said.</p> <p><em>Images: Facebook</em></p>

<p dir="ltr">An office worker has claimed she was sent home from work for wearing a “distracting” dress. </p> <p dir="ltr">US woman Marie Dee wore a black figure-hugging dress with a high neckline to her office on a standard work day, but a human resources employee allegedly deemed her outfit inappropriate.</p> <p dir="ltr">The mother-of-two secretly filmed herself being confronted by the “HR girl” who dubbed her dress “way too revealing and distracting” for the office.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Guys it happened again, I’m getting sent home for my outfit,” Marie said in the viral TikTok video.</p> <p dir="ltr">“This is getting ridiculous.”</p> <p dir="ltr">The footage shows Marie walking over to the HR employee’s office to ask what was wrong with her outfit. </p> <p dir="ltr">“I’m sorry you still can’t wear that.

"I broke down": Emma Watkins opens up on emotional meaning behind latest outfit

<p dir="ltr">While spotting celebrities in gorgeous gowns isn’t unusual, Emma Watkins’ latest appearance in a pink and gold dress has more meaning than it seems.</p> <p dir="ltr">The former yellow Wiggle revealed that the frock was designed with a particular person in mind, which she wore as an ambassador for Frocktober.</p> <p dir="ltr">"The dress that I'm wearing isn't just a pretty dress. [It was] actually created by a beautiful designer, Jaimie Sortino, and it's in honour of his cousin Jenna that passed away,” she told <em>9Honey</em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Jenna Crierie was 33 and eleven years into her battle with ovarian cancer, the most lethal gynaecological cancer, when she passed away.</p> <p dir="ltr">"I never actually had a chance to meet her, but I've met Jaimie a few times, that's why those pictures and the dress are quite special," Watkins said.</p> <p dir="ltr">"It really is another reminder of the lives that we've lost due to this disease… even though half of us didn't actually get to meet her, it felt like she was there."</p> <p dir="ltr">Endometriosis, a condition which affects one in nine Australian women including Watkins, is among the known risk factors for ovarian cancer, though there are no early detection tests.</p> <p dir="ltr">Watkins recalled how she was brought to tears when she met Leanne Flynn, one of millions of women who had ovarian cancer that was caught too late, for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation’s Frocktober campaign.</p> <p dir="ltr">"She was telling her story about what she's been going through for the last five years, the multiple surgeries and tests. I basically just cried," Watkins said.</p> <p dir="ltr">"I broke down in front of the audience, I wasn't expecting to hear such a poignant and connected story to do with the disease itself. Ever since then, I've been highly involved."</p> <p dir="ltr">As a Frocktober ambassador this year, Watkins is fighting to ensure that experiences like Crierie’s and Flynn’s are no longer as common.</p> <p dir="ltr">Even pap smears can’t catch ovarian cancer early, which the 33-year-old said said frustrated her.</p> <p dir="ltr">"That's why it's frustrating, because normally women don't get to pick this up early on. That's the issue," she continued.</p> <p dir="ltr">"When I found that something wasn't right with me, I was already stage four endometriosis. And the same thing with Flynn, you're just too far along."</p> <p dir="ltr">With vague symptoms - think abdominal and pelvic pain, boating, appetite loss, unexplained weight changes and tiredness - and nowhere near the same publicity as diseases such as breast cancer, it can be hard for women to find out before it’s too late.</p> <p dir="ltr">"I think women should be more cautious," Watkins said. </p> <p dir="ltr">"Even for endometriosis, that wouldn't have been picked up with a pap smear."</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-b4a53489-7fff-ddd3-653c-7c5df5314124"></span></p> <p dir="ltr">While it might be too late for women who have been diagnosed with late stage cancer, Watkins hopes that campaigns like Frocktober can spark change in the years to come.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: @emmawatkinsofficial (Instagram)</em></p>

Why Harry didn't end up wearing military outfit to Queen’s funeral

<p dir="ltr">Prince Harry’s uniform has been the subject of heated discussion following the death of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.</p> <p dir="ltr">The former working royal first made headlines after he was spotted in a suit during royal events where Prince Andrew was wearing his military uniform.</p> <p dir="ltr">Despite his father, King Charles III, giving Prince Harry permission to wear his dress uniform at Queen Elizabeth II’s vigil over the weekend, the 38-year-old arrived at Westminster Hall in his morning suit during <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/family-pets/final-farewell-for-longest-reigning-queen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monday morning’s service</a>.</p> <p dir="ltr">The prince added his medals to his black suit jacket which he wore while walking in the procession to and from Westminster Abbey during the funeral.</p> <p dir="ltr">But he wasn’t the only one not in uniform, after Prince Andrew was also prohibited from wearing official military dress during the service.</p> <p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/major-backflip-over-prince-harry-s-military-uniform-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changes to uniform permissions</a> came after the palace announced that only working members of the royal family who hold a rank could wear military uniforms at the funeral, with both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew being excluded from that category after leaving royal life.</p> <p dir="ltr">A source told<em> Page Six </em>last week that Prince Harry was just “prepared to wear whatever his grandmother made plans for”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“He’s focused on honouring her and that’s it,” they said.</p> <p dir="ltr">In a statement, the prince said what he wore wasn’t reflective of his military service.</p> <p dir="ltr">“Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex will wear a morning suit throughout events honouring his grandmother. His decade of military service is not determined by the uniform he wears and we respectfully ask that focus remain on the life and legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.”</p> <p dir="ltr">During the funeral, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seated in the second row behind King Charles III and Camilla, the Queen Consort.</p> <p dir="ltr">Meghan was spotted wearing a touching tribute to her grandmother-in-law, donning pearl earrings the Queen gave her in 2018.</p> <p dir="ltr">After the service, the couple walked behind the Queen’s coffin, with Prince Harry joining male family members for a procession through London streets ahead of her burial at Windsor Castle.</p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Image: Getty Images</em><span id="docs-internal-guid-eb9566f2-7fff-2a5f-8bd4-8f234ab42aaf"></span></p>

<p dir="ltr">The designer who sketched Marilyn Monroe’s original ‘Happy Birthday, Mr President’ dress has weighed in on Kim Kardashion’s choice to re-wear the dress at the Met Gala awards - and his opinion of it is less than glowing.</p> <p dir="ltr">In a recent interview with <em><a href="https://ew.com/celebrity/bob-mackie-kim-kardashian-wearing-marilyn-monroe-dress-big-mistake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a></em>, 82-year-old costume designer Bob Mackie described Kardashian’s controversial outfit choice as a “big mistake”.</p> <p dir="ltr">“[Monroe] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess,” he told the publication.</p> <p dir="ltr">"She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress."</p> <p dir="ltr">Mackie, whose claim to fame includes dressing Lucille Ball, Judy Garland and Cher, sketched the design for Monroe’s gown in 1962.</p> <p dir="ltr">He then sent the sketch to his boss, French fashion designer Jean Louis, who made the gown a reality.</p> <p dir="ltr">Kardashian caused a stir after she reached out to Ripley’s ‘Believe It or Not’ museum in Orlando - which famously bought Monroe’s gown for $6.7 million in 2016 - and was allowed to try it in a private fitting.</p> <p dir="ltr">They then workshopped how she could “fake” fitting into the dress for the 2022 Met Gala, in a move that has caused concern among fashion historians and collectors.</p> <p dir="ltr">Scott Fortner, a Marilyn Monroe artefact collector, told <em><a href="https://people.com/style/bob-mackie-marilyn-monroe-kim-kardashian-2022-met-gala/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a></em> that, since the dress was exclusively designed for Monroe and involved her being nude while it was sewn to her body, it can be deduced that some “stress” was done to the dress when Kardashian gave it a try.</p> <p dir="ltr">“The gown worn by anyone else will not be a precise fit,” Fortner said. “In this case, Kim Kardashian's measurements are somewhat different than Marilyn's. It's logically assumed the fabric and seams were stressed."</p> <p dir="ltr">Alicia Malone, the Aussie TV host of Turner Classic Movies and the network’s new fashion series Follow the Thread, also told Entertainment Weekly that there’s an issue with Kardashian wearing an item so intrinsically tied to Monroe.</p> <p dir="ltr">"I don't know what Kim Kardashian sees in Marilyn herself, or how much she knows about her history, but definitely now, Kim will be tied to that dress as Marilyn is," she said.</p> <p dir="ltr">"So it'll be the Marilyn Monroe dress that Kim Kardashian also wore to the Met Gala."</p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e76b299b-7fff-4a07-aa39-8510c8a0c943"></span></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Images: Getty Images</em></p>

"Beaut outfits": Karl shows off glamorous ice-dancing past

<p>Karl Stefanovic has shown off a blast from the past on <em>The Today Show</em> for a cause close to his heart. </p> <p>The presenter showed footage from his time on <em>Dancing on Ice</em>, which ran for only one season in 2006, as Karl competed and twirled his way to placing runner-up in the competition. </p> <p>"That's right Harper, daddy was an ice skater - beaut outfits," Karl told his daughter watching at home.</p> <p>"Times were different then on television, they didn't have OH&S."</p> <p>Although Karl's trip down memory lane delighted his co-hosts, the flashback was to bring awareness to an important cause. </p> <p>The Penrith Ice Palace, run by Karl's dance partner on the 2006 competition, Linda Albrecht, is under threat of being closed with developers recently buying the property.</p> <p>But Albrecht and a specially-formed cooperative are working to ensure the developers keep them open and continue to allow the community and elite-level athletes to use the facility as it is.</p> <p>"It is a fight for any community sport out there and it is a fight that goes on around the country," Karl said.</p> <p>"It is so good for the communities to have this at a time when the winter Olympics has never been more popular and giving people an opportunity to do something that they have never done before."</p> <p>Albrecht said the Penrith venue is the last full-sized rink in Western Sydney and would leave athletes without a place to train. </p> <p>She said, "We are in negotiations at the moment, but obviously when we are competing with developers and other prospective lessees we need to be competitive and need extra funds to set this up properly and do a good job."</p> <p>Ally suggested getting Karl back in his sparkly costumes and out on the ice competing with Linda again after their first efforts 16 years ago.</p> <p>"Sounds great, what do you reckon, Karl?" Albrecht asked.</p> <p>Karl seemed less keen on the idea, and instead encouraged people to <a href="https://asf.org.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener">donate</a> to the cause. </p> <p><em>Image credits: Nine</em></p>

Date sends woman home for not liking her outfit

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most people have a dating disaster story, Nikki Harding’s could rival the very best, as her evening ended alone and in tears. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nikki had been getting to know a guy she was interested in for three weeks, and ignored a few red flags she noticed during their initial meeting. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ignoring her gut instinct, Nikki chose to give her new man the benefit of the doubt. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, when the two had scheduled a date together, Nikki was left feeling heartbroken and humiliated. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The two had planned to go to a work event for the man’s retail company, and Nikki was excited to meet his friends and colleagues. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nikki showed up looking glamorous and chic in a black long-sleeved crop top, pink trousers and her hair and makeup styled accordingly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, when she arrived at the event, her date “was too embarrassed” and sent Nikki home in an Uber. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking to TikTok to explain her ordeal, she wrote, “It’s been 3 weeks. I spent 40 minutes on my makeup to meet his friends and coworkers at a grand opening for the retail company he works for.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“He was too embarrassed to be seen with me in this outfit, so he sent me home in an Uber and went to the opening without me.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nikki shared the details of her fleeting relationship with her online followers, as she admitted it was not the first time the man had commented on her appearance. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She said, “It all started with little comments here and there over the past couple of weeks like “Why are you wearing heels? I like it when you wear tennis shoes. Why are you wearing so much makeup? I really like it when you’re natural.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After sharing the details, her followers were quick to give her relationship advice. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One person commented, “ “Remember: This is him in the beginning. This is him on his best behaviour. Run.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many others told Nikki she deserved a lot better, and described it as “a blessing” that she got out of the relationship early, to which Nikki responded, “I deserve better than this.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the nightmare date, Nikki has made sure to dress exactly how she wants to. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image credits: TikTok @nikki.jabs</span></em></p>

Where we've seen Diana's statue outfit before

<p>The Princess of Wales will stand forever in the gardens of Kensington Palace, as a sculpture meticulously curated over several years with painstaking detail, which has finally been presented to the world.</p> <p>Prince William and Prince Harry have been central in the making of their mother’s statue, having commissioned the project in 2017.</p> <p><img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7842203/diana-statue-5.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/66534784c7e54484b2d1748636ccb1d9" /></p> <p>Diana’s face, along with the three children depicted with her, "will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy", her sons said in a joint statement.</p> <p>The brothers reunited on July 1, in honour of Diana’s 60th birthday, to unveil the statue in the Sunken Garden.</p> <p>The clothing in the statue is likely to have been inspired by the Princess of Wales' 1993 Christmas card.</p> <p>In that photo Diana is adorned in a blue collared shirt with a high neck, the buttons undone, a black belt with a large golden buckle and a black pencil skirt.</p> <p>While it is not confirmed, the statue of Diana bears a striking similarity to the outfit.</p> <p><img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7842202/diana-statue-4.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/fca45f498461428e9e501e8cbdd95367" /></p> <p>The 1993 Christmas card came at a pivotal time in Diana's life, just one year before she separated from Prince Charles.</p> <p>In 1993 Diana and Charles chose to send out separate Christmas cards – a public display to signify that their marriage had well and truly come to an end.</p> <p>The royal used the separation to her advantage, however, and carved out a new role for herself by throwing her energy into her charities.</p> <p>In a statement Kensington Palace said that “the statue aims to reflect the warmth, elegance and energy of Diana, Princess of Wales, in addition to her work and the impact she had on so many people.</p> <p>"The portrait and style of dress was based on the final period of her life as she gained confidence in her role as an ambassador for humanitarian causes and aims to convey her character and compassion."</p> <p>Diana is surrounded by three children "who represent the universality and generational impact of The Princess' work".</p> <p>Prince William and Prince Harry wanted the statue to recognise their mother's positive impact across the world.</p>

This ones for the great folks in Victoria,” Karl wrote in the caption.</span></p> <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCvFRqTJUF7/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCvFRqTJUF7/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by karl stefanovic (@karlstefanovic_)</a> on Jul 17, 2020 at 12:58am PDT</p> </div> </blockquote> <p><span>He continued: “Hope it brings a smile. All our love.”</span><br /><span>In early July, Karl watched on air when his co-host Allison Langdon shared sweet footage of the newborn.</span><br /><span>“Befote we go, I have got a surprise for you. Because we have been sent in a video from two of our favourite viewers this morning - Jasmine and Harper,” Ally announced.</span><br /><span>“Oh, what!” Karl delightedly laughed.</span><br /><span>The tiny tot appeared on-screen in a pink patterned jumpsuit.</span><br /><span>“Who is the cutest baby in the world? Me,” Jasmine could be heard saying.</span><br /><span>She added: “Who kept mummy up all night?”</span><br /><span>Allison who is mum to two kids apologised to Jasmine Yarbrough for her lack of sleep the previous night.</span><br /><span>“I’m sorry Jas you got no sleep last night. Karl is on his way home now and you can take the day off,” she said.</span></p>
