'Inappropriate': Lauren Boebert skewered for 'awful' dress at formal GOP event

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is catching heat for wearing a tight-fitting black and white polka-dot mini dress to a formal event Thursday night, according to several reports.

Gossip website Nicki Swift called the look a “Tiny Tasteless Work Outfit” and “inappropriate” for the event.

The full scale of her lack of length dress was first caught on Ed Buckley’s Instagram.

However, the congresswoman did not seem to be bothered by her disregard for the dress code. The website penning, “If Boebert's goal was to flaunt her gams, she definitely achieved it. The problem was the event to which she chose to wear the dress. Based on the other attendees' ensembles in the Instagram carousel, this event looked to be black tie, with many folks wearing tuxedos. So, while this dress would be a great pick for date night or going out to dinner on vacation, it's definitely not appropriate attire for an upscale function.”

Other entertainment outlets were significantly more harsh. Beauty website ‘The List’ said the dress was an “awful polka dot outfit.”

Later, they noted this is not the first time she wore the skimpy outfit, “This dress seems to be a favorite of Boebert's. In February, The Mountain-Ear published pictures of Boebert in the same dress as she gave the keynote speech at the Lincoln Day Dinner at the Elks Lodge in Central City, Colorado. The dress code at that event seemed decidedly less casual — people in the crowd were dressed informally, even in jeans — which makes her wearing this low-key look to a formal event even more bizarre.”

The congresswoman was attending the National Republican Congressional Committee’s annual gala in Washington, D.C.

It is a key fundraising dinner for the GOP and was attended by President Trump, who wore a tux.

While other attendees opted for mid- or floor-length dresses for the formal event, Boebert's dress rested far above the knee.

The congresswoman is not one to shy away from controversy, one most infamously after she was asked to leave a performance of the Beetlejuice musical for groping her date in the dark.
