BBC Breakfast's Naga Munchetty, known for her impeccable on-screen style, has shared a hilarious fashion faux pas. Speaking on Alan Carr's Life's A Beach podcast , she revealed that her husband had a rather unflattering reaction to one of her recent purchases. "I decided I was going to buy some dungarees," Naga said.
"I haven't worn dungarees, probably since I was about six, and I thought 'I'm regressing, so I'm going to embrace that'. So I bought two pairs of dungarees." The first pair, a conventional dark blue set, were fine, but the second pair, pale denim shorts-dungarees, didn't go down as well.
The BBC Breakfast star added: "The second pair were pale denim shorts-dungarees. Quite cool. But I put them on.
..I'm usually really confident about what I buy, and what I wear.
I know what suits me, I'd like to think." "But I thought 'Oh, I'm not quite sure about these'. So I went over to my husband, James, and said 'What do you think? '" His response left her stunned: "He looked at me.
He bent over double. I won't even try to imitate the sounds he made. "He went 'Oh my gosh, you look like Humpty Dumpty'.
They went straight back in the bag and were returned." She concluded that while she doesn't mind being mistaken for a children's TV character, looking like a cartoon character was a step too far, reports Lancs Live . Naga, who has long been known for her sharp style on screen, has admitted to a couple of fashion faux pas.
On BBC2's Room 101, she revealed to host Paul Merton that viewer feedback usually doesn't sway her wardrobe choices, except once: "There's only one time I've taken it on board and never worn an outfit again," she confessed. Naga recalled wearing a geometric print dress on breakfast TV that reportedly triggered migraines in viewers, leading her to retire the outfit. She also mentioned another dress adorned with numerous eyes, which some viewers claimed was giving them nightmares: "Two people emailed in saying it was scaring them and giving the nightmares.
So that one I have worn since but I haven't worn it much.".
