Sabrina Dhowre Elba feels her outfit was 'little loud' for the wedding

Sabrina Dhowre Elba, who tied the knot with Idris Elba in 2019, wore Gucci for the wedding. Her ensemble included a white dress with a black knee-length coat, featuring green and red trim.

She also added a white shoulder bag, a pair of Mary Jane Gucci pumps, and a navy hat to her outfit, as per Daily Mail.

But now, the 35-year-old media personality thinks her ensemble was “a little loud”.

She told Dean, “It was actually one of the first times that a big brand was dressing me, and Gucci was dressing, and I was so excited to take whatever.”

 

“I was like, 'Oh my god thank you' and I was genuinely excited. Looking back, I maybe would have worn something different. It was a little loud, maybe,” she stated.

However, the podcast host was not convinced with her analysis as she told Sabrina, “I think what you did was bring a modernity to it, and you were a disruptor and challenging the perceived narrative. You're saying, 'No, it's a wedding, these are my friends, and I'm going to wear what I want to express myself'."

Sabrina Dhowre Elba could not believe she was a royal wedding guest

During the podcast, Sabrina Dhowre also disclosed that she was surprised to know she was one of the attendees of the royal wedding.

“Oh my god, I did not think I would be at that wedding. I kept telling myself it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Then I had like 100 text messages saying, 'Oh my god, we can see you on the telly',” she said.

“Everybody watched that, you can kind of remember where you were when that happened and I was like, 'What am I doing here?' But I had the best time; they're such good people,” Sabrina added.

“So Harry and I, we’ve hung out a couple of times, through his dad. His dad's charity, the Prince's Trust, helped me out as a young actor. So I do a lot of work with them, Harry and William... And Harry came to a couple of parties that I deejayed,” Idris previously shared during an episode of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’.

“Harry came to a couple of parties that I DJed and he was like, 'What are you doing on [May 19]? I told him nothing and then he asked if I would DJ at his wedding... I was like is this a joke?” the actor added.
