You know what's funny, I didn even know Justin Bieber was even married, didnt even know he was popular anymore.

Hollywood has been long gone, there aren't any "stars" anymore, just people pushing their own agenda.

@Just BlingJustin Bieber would not have been part of "Hollywood."  He's a singer from Canada.  Lot's of money to back up his career.  I don't think he's ever done any acting.  Why conflict the two?

@gertrudecloset I don't see a real distinction between Hollywood and the music industry:  Often scantily clothed multi-millionaire celebrities who want to tell the rest of us how to live but do as they please and do anything for more publicity. The category covers a lot of territory.

@SoonerLaterI do.  It was the reason I made the comment.  I do know it is all entertainment, but the music industry is a different beast unto itself.  It is NO way like the typical hollywood business.  Music artists don't have to work with a label.  Many are independent and that part of entertainment has changed so much; it warrants it's distinction from hollywood.

But since you are talking about the scantilly clad outfits many wear, remember to put it in perspective:  They don't go around dressed this way day in and day out.  They get scantilly clad on red carpets and special events for the paparazzi.  That's how we get to see them.  Their every day lives aren't filled with borrowed, tawdry garments to wear to run an errand.

@gertrudecloset I applaud you for not spending much time looking at the internet.  So, I have said all I have to say.

@SoonerLaterYou're right.  I don't do the broader social media outlets.  Like I said you must put it in perspective.  There is a "kind of celebrity" that will do the scantilly clad and then there are the ones who are regular people like us who don't dress to attract.

Jennifer Aniston doesn't show herself nekkid on the internet or in public for the tabloids:

Jennifer Garner doesn't do it

Katie Holmes doesn't do it

Viola Davis doesn't do it

Loretta Devine doesn't do it

Katy Segal doesn't do it

Halle Berry doesn't do it

you get where I'm going with this, right.  It's a type of celebrity that will do this on the internet and in real life.  The vast majority of other celebrities (brands) don't do this.  Many do, most don't.

What I find a little amusing is that she changed into something more demure for dinner later the same day (sequins aside, that is)

[handygal2]

The opposite of classy. 👎👎👎👎

[Skyegirl21]

She is gorgeous but thisis Embarrassing.  That's not even a pretty dress IMO. Who could think that's a good choice for meeting the highest government official in France?  I guess she didn't care or wanted to shock them.  Her face says it all in the group photo (bored and annoyed).  

[Katcat1]

I don't care for the top of the dress as I don't find it to be attractive.  What is with the Biev wearing those huge shoes?

do not see what the big whoop is!?!  it was a quick visit.  it wasnt a state dinner or événement officiel

what if it was a  "Taupe Dress" or "Beige Dress"  rather than "Nude Dress"

The Macrons are hardly conventional themselves.

I also don't see it as a big deal.  An impromptu meeting,  The American Couple:  A young model vacationing wearing a halter dress,  a pop star wearing tennis shoes with a suit.   The French Couple:  The French president met his future wife when he was 15, she was a 39 year old teacher, 3 years later they were a couple.  

Which one do I consider a more provocative topic?

I personally think being half naked to meet the leader of country such as France is provocative as they come.  May/December relationships are not provocative in the least.  It's part of the fabric of America.

[JamandBread]

Gosh she is exquisite. Justin is cute too. They are young and represent a different generation. For fashion, for music, for philanthropy. More of this!

[Danielle46]

I think the Bieber’s look fabulous but not to meet the President!!!!  Why are they there in the first place?
