Our “hit or miss” posts are usually filled with dresses, skirts and other female-centric clothing, and it’s rare that we ever focus on a male celebrity. But this week Justin Beiber stepped out in an outfit that caused a ton of controversy. The ensemble itself wasn’t inherently scandalous, and consisted of some overalls and a white shirt. Usually this would be an “unfashionable but tame” look, but Justin wore it to a rather formal event…
…yes, that is what Beibs wore to meet the Canadian prime minister. Some people are saying it’s not a big deal, while others are chastising him for dressing in an undignified fashion. Beiber claims he didn’t have time to change after a performance, but I’m going to have to raise an eyebrow at that excuse. You’re a millionaire. You can probably literally afford to buy some time to change. This is a definite miss!
Hit or miss, Lovelies?

when i see pictures of him all i think is “brat”
guest

guest
He is just a kid what do you expect

How is that even a question? This should be a pretty objective post that he doesn’t give two shits about the presentation to his own country. Harper doesn’t care much either, but he’s still in his fancy little suit.
guest
Miss. I think overalls should be reserved for young children. His look is too casual for a formal setting, especially if you’re going to meet the prime minister. At least bother to hook both straps!
guest
Hmm the overalls and everything is not good, but understandable if he was rushing. Buuuut he could have at least taken off his hat, that’s just rude.
guest
you get some money and then you think you can do whatever you want – doesn’t stop you from looking like an ass

Yes, let’s forget to mention that seconds before this he was doing a meet and greet and had performed that day. I’d like to see you get dolled up in a matter of seconds.

@Baseballchik138@xanga - it’s not like this meeting with the prime minister just suddenly sprang up at him. there’s no reason they couldn’t have set an appropriate outfit for him to change while in the limo or whatever vehicle they use to get him around. it’s inconsiderate and bratty.

@xsun_kissedx@xanga - I think this all happened in the same area. I don’t think there was a car involved or anything of the sort.

Miss.

Miss. Not a fashion statement. I wonder what he’ll wear to meet the pope.
guest
robert pattinson’s gucci suits are way sexier.
I might’ve thought streetstyles was hot when I was younger, but this style doesn’t appeal to me anymore…with the exception of T.O.P., the korean rapstar-his vibrant style is sexy. maybe he should get a name change lol his bieber name sounds babyish due to it rhyming with gerber baby food, and it often reminds me of geek.
guest
Perfectly suitable for meeting a schoolyard bully like Steve.
guest
He looks ridiculous whether he’s meeting the Prime Minister or not. He’s dressed like a five or six year old kid on the playground.
guest
Major miss. It’s the Prime Minister, for heaven’s sake. Have some respect!
guest
A big MISS. Just by the fact that it’s being talked about, makes it a miss.
guest
@iamdriftwood@xanga - I see brat, too, with obnoxious thrown in.
guest
he needs to grow up and have some respect to his country. I am sure someone in his team could have ran out to get him a dress shirt or something to wear. it is not very hard.

@heart_leigh@xanga -haha! I saw about five seconds (I could handle about five seconds) of a show about him once, maybe his THS? Anyway, I turned it off after a scene in his limo with his mom and tutor. She was telling him what lessons they needed to do that day and he looked to her and barked “why don’t you get back in your cage?!” his mom told him to apologize and he put his hood up, crossed his arms, and looked out the window. I’ll never forget how shocked I was that anyone would let that on air!
guest
@Baseballchik138@xanga - He has more clothes than you and I combined, surely, and far more resources than the average person. And I get “dolled up” in a matter of minutes every week, when I do the early shift at my job working at a makeup store. It’s not hard. Just… don’t wear some half-fastened overalls and maybe consider taking off the ugly-ass hat when being photographed with the Canadian Prime Minister.
For someone who’s supposedly been raised so well by his mom, how the hell did she forget to teach him how to dress? He’s not a kid anymore, it’s time to grow up and wear something nice when you’re meeting someone important. You didn’t see Beyonce and Jay-Z dressed for Casual Friday when they were visiting with the President, y’know?
guest
I don’t have a lot of respect for Harper, so I’d probably show up wearing overalls too.
That said, I think Bieber looks stupid almost all the time.

after there was so much hate about this, bieber wrote a comment about it. he said this was at the arena he was performing at between his meet and greet and his show. he didn’t have time to run and change, this was just a quick thing before the show.

As a Canadian, I feel I have a better understanding of this. As much as we care about our politics, we don’t celebritize politicians or dramatize politics as much as the U.S… It’s not as sensationalized, bottom line. Steven Harper is a man and only a man. That’s how we see our politicians – like every day people. Which THEY ARE. So yes, he deserves respect, but I don’t feel like this outfit was disrespectful – just normal. It wasn’t offensive. Bieber isn’t one to dress up in a tux… Even at events, his urban style shows through. We don’t know how casual this event was, or if it was even pre-planned… My own grandfather met the prime minister, and he wore his everyday jeans and sweater. He wouldn’t change his style or suddenly become less of a frumpy 70 year old man just because he was meeting Harper. I’m glad Justin didn’t change himself either. Harper is a normal guy (despite what my politic beliefs may be in my country…) And no, I’m not a ‘belieber.’ I don’t hate or like Justin. Just coming from a Canadian perspective, that’s all, so I’m not biased. If you’re American or even Canadian like myself and disagree, that’s cool. Doesn’t change the fact that he wore it so PLEASE don’t come replying to me like OMG YOU’RE WRONG… There are far bigger issues in the world. Anyways, that’s my imput.
guest
its a free country he could wear whatever he wants and the prime minister looks like he is having a good time so who cares?

@missraelenedawn@xanga - I’ve already tried explaining this, no one will listen.
guest
Total miss. This is pathetic. If he really & honestly didn’t have time to change, he could have at least ditched the hat, worn black jeans to the performance & had some sort of snazzy coat to toss on.. I feel like there’s no excuse for this.
