A mother of the bride is turning heads with the dress she wore to her daughter’s wedding.
Wedding content creator Chloe LeBlanc praised it as “the most stunning MOB dress we’ve ever seen!!!!” However, many felt her outfit was too extravagant and overshadowed the bride.
Read on to find out what all the fuss is about…
In an Instagram reel shared by Chloe LeBlanc, Louisiana mom Lori DeWitt, 53, is seen walking down the aisle in a custom green floral Audrey + Brooks dress featuring a plunging neckline, detachable bow, and train.
Her daughter, Amanda DeWitt LeBlanc, 26, wore an off-the-shoulder trumpet gown by Romona Keveza.
While Amanda adored her mother’s outfit, saying, “My mom looked absolutely stunning,” the internet erupted in a heated debate over the appropriateness of Lori’s dress.
“It’s not Mother’s Day????”
“She’s trying to upstage her daughter.”
“It’s not about the MOB!”
“Why does MOB want to be the center of attention???”
“Ridiculously low cut. Beautiful fabric, trashy dress cut for a wedding.”
“This mom is looking for all the attention, very sad.”
“We didn’t realize my dress was going to spark a debate, but we’re laughing about it,” Lori told TODAY. “I’m the last person you’d expect to go viral. I don’t even post photos!”
Despite the negative feedback, many people loved Lori’s dress.
“If my mother ISN’T dressed like this we’ll have a problem. My mom and MIL both will look beautiful on my wedding day👏”
“I love this so much! I want my mom to feel SO beautiful on my wedding day, y’all are cray.”
“Mom looks incredible! My mom SHOULD stand out at my wedding! I would prefer if she wore something more than the typical MOB dress – this is stunning.”
“If my mom doesn’t do this, she has to go home. I would be pissed if she did anything less!!!”

After receiving a lot of attention for the dress she wore to her first daughter’s wedding, Lori joked she plans to wear a “burlap sack that says MOB” for her next daughter’s big day.
What do you think of Lori’s dress? Was she trying to upstage the bride, or was it the perfect choice for her daughter’s wedding?
