Weddings can be tiring, more so when it involves British Royalty. With the world scrutinising every single move, every fascinator and every dress, chances are one may not be able to please the audience.
This is what happened with Pippa Middleton, the sister of Duchess of Cambridge, when she stepped out in the light green dress for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Designed by the Fold, the ‘Hepburn’ style failed to impress Twitter. Soon, everyone started trolling Middleton and said that the dress was more like an ‘iced tea can’.
Many fashion enthusiasts said that the mint-coloured dress with pink flowers was not suiting Middleton.
Such was the intense trolling, that Arizona tea brand jumped in the discussion.
However, others were less forgiving and said that Pippa, who is expecting her first child, looked rather sweet in pleated blush skirt. The dress was not a maternity dress, and Charlotte Sutcliffe-Smith, PR for The Fold, told PEOPLE.

An estimated 1.9 billion people tuned in to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's star-studded royal wedding at the iconic St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle, according to a media report.
Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, exchanged vows at the Chapel yesterday in presence of 600 guests, including the Queen.
"Meghan Markle and Prince Harry joined hands and exchanged vows in front of the archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, and an estimated 1.9 billion people watching the royal wedding on television around the world," the 'Daily Express' reported.
An estimated 100,000 people turned out to see the couple, the new Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they sat in an open-top Ascot Landau for a carriage procession through Windsor.
"2,640 people were invited from charities close to the couple, as well as 1,200 people who were nominated by their Lord Lieutenants," the royal family tweeted.
"Thank you to everyone who came to Windsor and those who followed from around the UK, the Commonwealth, and the world today. Congratulations once again to the newly-married Duke and Duchess of Sussex. #royalwedding," it said.
Guests at the wedding included celebrities such as talk show host Oprah Winfrey, tennis star Serena Williams, actor George Clooney and his wife Amal, footballer David Beckham and his wife Victoria and singer Elton John, who later performed at the lunchtime reception.
