SYLVIA LAUGHS OFF DRESS DRAMA
Jeffreys has laughed off comments made about her Logies dress and revealed a secret detail everyone missed.
She told Karl Stefanovic, Lisa Wilkinson and Richard Wilkins that a “few people were in a flap” over her outfit, after social media users claimed it looked like a part of the female anatomy. Some posted on social media they thought it looked like a vagina, while others disagreed.
She was in hysterics as she attempted to describe what people had said about the dress, and just left it at saying there were “unflattering comments” were made.
She then revealed it was made out of left over fabric from her bridesmaid dresses.
Jeffreys chose to wear a plunging pink gown by Rebecca Vallance, the same designer who made her wedding dress that she wore when she tied the knot with Peter Stefanovic. She went solo as her new husband was on assignment with 60 Minutes. But it didn’t stop her from celebrating her 31st birthday in style.
