A controversial Gold Coast influencer has faced backlash for wearing a statement dress to a friend’s wedding, with her fans labeling the look “rude” and “disrespectful”.
Kat Clark, 38, couldn’t contain her excitement as she showed her 6.6 million TikTok followers her outfit as a guest at a friend’s wedding.
The sequin dress was a mid-length strapless white dress adorned with colorful floral prints.
She paired the dress with $690 Dior pearl earrings, a gold pearl necklace, and a faux Van Cleef bracelet.
In her TikTok video, Kat asked her followers to weigh in on the etiquette of wearing white at a wedding, a tradition that is often frowned upon in many cultures.
‘You know when they say you can’t wear white to a wedding, this is fine, right?’ he asked in the video.
“I hope so, because I have no other choice.”
Even though the dress features vibrant red, blue, green, and peach flowers, several fans criticized the TikTok creator for choosing to wear a white dress.

‘Kat, why are you wearing a white dress when the bride is wearing a white dress? Not a bit disrespectful but ily kat don’t take this as hate,’ someone commented.
“I’d be mad if someone had that much white…it’s a stunning dress though,” another added.
‘I agree, any target shouldn’t even be in doubt. There are so many colors available,’ noted one.
Completely agree!! It’s rude to wear ANY white at a wedding UNLESS the bride instructs her to wear white!’ another writing.
In her TikTok video, Kat asked her followers to weigh in on the etiquette of wearing white at a wedding, a tradition that is often frowned upon in many cultures.
The mother-of-two responded to the criticism on her Instagram Story, before asking her followers for their opinions.
‘I’m really shocked. Apparently my dress was rude for a wedding because it had too much white? she wrote.
Meanwhile, several other fans praised Kat and complemented her choice of outfit for the celebration.
“As long as it’s not a real wedding dress, it should never be a problem,” someone said.
“People are just superstitious.”
Kat sparked another controversy earlier this year after launching her first skincare line, Kalade.
He launched the brand in February to great success and sold out of his stock within ten minutes.
Even though the dress features vibrant red, blue, green, and peach flowers, several fans criticized the TikTok creator for choosing to wear a white dress.
However, not all customers were happy with Kalade’s advertising methods, thanks to a photo of Kat posing with a box of skincare products alongside her daughters Letisha, 20, and Deja, 12.
In the image, which is used to advertise Kalade’s $120 ‘OG Kit’, Letisha and Deja are seen posing with their middle fingers raised towards the camera.
Kalade’s Instagram page shared a photo of a customer’s online complaint about the ad, which read: “I hate this because the girls in the photo are giving themselves the middle finger.”
Kalade responded by captioning the post with ‘Womp womp’, a slang term used to respond to a minor disappointment or problem.
However, it seems like some customers enjoyed their daughters’ decision to flip the bird, as another commenter wrote: “OMG, Deja and Letisha with the middle finger (laughing/crying emoji). I’m a big fan.”
Several other fans praised Kat and complemented her choice of outfit for the celebration.

It comes after Kat attracted attention for sharing a video of herself crying after learning that mega-influencer Anna Paul was set to launch her Paullie skincare brand at the same time as hers.
In the viral video, Kat broke down as she admitted she “feels like a failure” and was “scared” at the prospect of competing with Anna.
Unimpressed TikTok users called Kat’s video “embarrassing” and “embarrassing,” with one commenting: “That’s selfishness and jealousy to me… can’t she be happy that others are successful?” Yuck!
‘Good? “I love her, but I didn’t have to make a whole video about this,” someone agreed.
The skincare campaign featured this rude ad in which their daughters (left and right) turned off the camera.
Another added: ‘Imagine a grown woman. A supposed CEO of a company, making a video crying over other people’s issues. What is happening with society?
It was this comment that struck a chord with Kat, as she returned to TikTok days later with a video responding to the user who wrote it.
‘You’ve probably seen the videos and comments of people making fun of me for crying. “People say I’m manipulating people, that I’m embarrassing, that I’m pretending to cry,” Kat fumed.
‘This is what I do. I share my life with you and that’s exactly what I’m doing with business. Except I’ve only now been able to start posting about it.’
Kat went on to point out that everyone, including CEOs, has feelings, and she has every right to feel emotional given that she invested “all her money” and “remortgaged her house” to launch her business.

“Imagine for a second that you took out so much money to invest in something and then a month later someone has the same idea,” Kat said.
“I recorded that to maybe help other small business owners and let them know they’re not alone.”
However, it seems her fears about launching her brand are unfounded, as days later Kat revealed that her products were selling out so fast that she needed to hire extra help.
‘Kalade is hiring. Occasional employment. Packing orders, helping with customer emails, PA for Kat,” the brand posted on Instagram Stories.
Kat has also boasted about her brand’s sales success since then, posting a photo of her husband packing orders in their living room on Instagram Stories.
“Packed up until 1:30am and probably about to do the same thing tonight (melting face emoji),” he wrote.
A day earlier, Kat had uploaded a video of her and her daughters reacting to the news that Kalade’s entire range of products had sold out within ten minutes of launch.
