The arrival of social media has brought a sense of freedom to speak your mind freely. But the Internet has its nasty side! Be it a non-popular face or any famous celebrity, netizens would always cross all the lines to shame them for their choice of attire. Whether it’s a top exposing a cleavage or a dress revealing waxed legs, people cannot rest without delivering their share of opinion, even if it means an individual’s choice to dress the way she/he likes. Every second person on the internet has been a soft target of these trolls. Much like in a recent moment when popular British actress, Elizabeth Hurley was shamed on social media as she shared a picture of her wearing a cleavage revealing dress on her son Damian Hurley birthday.

On April 5, Damian Hurley turned 16 and the actress took to Instagram and shared a photograph of them together. Her caption reads, “Happy Birthday to my little prince @damianhurley1. The light of my life for the last 16 years.” In the image, the teenager was seen wearing a silk floral-print blazer and his mother in a colourful crystal embellished dress with a deep plunging neckline.

In no time, the followers of the 52-year-old British actress started debating whether her outfit was appropriate or not with one even calling her an ‘embarrassing mum’. “Creepy showing off at your son’s birthday. Cover up you’re a mum,” said Instagram user. Another added, “Using this moment to ‘showcase her assets’ and focus the attention back on her.” Another user added, “Your dress is way too revealing for a sophisticated elegant lady like you.” Fortunately, there were fans who praised The Royal star’s style calling her ‘stunning’ and ‘beautiful’. One said, “Damn!! Still looking fine at 52. The comments on her tho! Lmfao #haters.”

Another said, “Damn haters! LOL! She worked hard for her physique, let her wear anything she wants. All you haters, go work on yourself, focus on yourself and no others! Such a shame how there are always haters.” While the actress’s cricket star ex Shane Warne wrote, “Happy Birthday D man, hope EH is spoiling you!”
