THE world is your runway and one mother-of-the-groom abides by the philosophy, even for her son’s big day.
Despite criticism that her dress choices were inappropriate, she said she refused to look bad during the ceremony.

Kim (@kimvicario) shared the video with over 17,000 TikTok followers.
She showed off the styles she was considering for the wedding, modeling options such as a sparkly silver tulle gown, an intricate gold and navy dress, and an off-the-shoulder green piece.
The mother-of-the-groom seemed to struggle between her choices, trying on multiple dresses but failing to arrive at a decision.
Some took issue with the styles she picked out: “Definitely not a mother of the groom dress,” said one critic.
They shared their grievances: “Too tight, too low-cut, should not be off-the-shoulders.”
Kim, however, didn’t care, thanking the large number of viewers who complimented her dress choices.
“But then you get your couple that are like this… if you’ve ever shopped for a formal gown and you’re going to a boutique, you know they have sample sizes and dresses,” she said.
“They are obviously all samples and need to be ordered and altered to correct size.”
“Sorry you don’t like my choices but I choose not to be a frumpy mother-of-the-gown.”
For those who were concerned about her “up-staging” the bride, she informed them that the bride was, in fact, present during her shopping trips and happy to help.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her picks.
Many lauded her with praise: “Navy was the most flattering!” said one commenter.
“Black ombre was made for you!” said another.
Some, however, thought the dresses were not right for the occasion: “None of them. They are all too fitted and look like prom dresses, not MOB dresses,” said one viewer.
“All too tight. I’d go for something with a little jacket and a size up. Needless to say, they would ALL look terrific!” said another.
